Phalanx — Potted, Hardened, and Ready for San Diego Sun
All of our Venus flytraps are shipped potted and fully acclimated to outdoor San Diego conditions. Each plant is thoroughly inspected for common pests and grown under full sun to encourage strong, colorful traps and compact growth.
Cultivar Notes
Visible Traits: Known for its tightly clustered, spear-like traps and upright growth habit, ‘Phalanx’ creates a dense formation of narrow traps, often deep red inside with a striking green contrast.
Growth Habits: Robust and fast-growing. Forms clumping colonies over time. Ideal for growers who want a dense, battlefield-like look in a pot. Stays showy even during dormancy transitions.

General Venus Flytrap Care
• Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily). Direct sunlight encourages best coloration and growth.
• Water: Use only distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Keep soil damp but not waterlogged.
• Soil: Our very own carnivorous plant mix is recommended!
• Feeding: Feed only live insects or allow plant to catch its own prey. We recommend our live fruit flies or captive-bred roaches as ideal feeders.
• Dormancy: Requires a winter dormancy period (approx. Nov–Feb). Reduce watering and sunlight.
• Potting: Repot every 1–2 years to refresh medium and prevent compaction.
