Venus Flytrap 'Buttcheeks' (Dionaea muscipula) | Live Plant

Venus Flytrap 'Buttcheeks': An Unusual Live Carnivorous Plant

Add a conversation-starting cultivar to your carnivorous plant collection with Dionaea muscipula 'Buttcheeks'. Bred and named by Maxim Dolecki, this Venus flytrap stands out for its dramatically curved traps rather than the familiar snapping shape of a typical flytrap.

Both sides of each trap curve strongly backward and press against one another, creating the rounded form behind its memorable name. For growers who enjoy unusual Venus flytrap cultivars and distinctive plant mutations, 'Buttcheeks' offers a fascinating addition to the collection.

Important: This Cultivar Does Not Catch Insects

The deformed traps are non-functional: they cannot close or catch insects. Choose this live plant for its unusual growth form, not for insect control. Like other Venus flytraps, it produces energy through photosynthesis and needs plenty of strong light for healthy growth.

During active growth, the supplier recommends lightly applying a diluted foliar fertilizer suitable for carnivorous plants to provide supplemental nutrients. Follow the fertilizer's dilution directions and the included plant care instructions rather than relying on captured insects.
