This is it! THE LARGEST TRAPS WE'VE EVER SEEN! Out of the thousands of flytraps we have growing here at FlytrapStore, DC XL grows the largest traps of any flytrap we've ever grown. The first traps in spring are usually the largest and can approach 2 inches in size on a fully grown DC XL flytrap. In addition to being ginormous for a Venus flytrap, DC XL is also an extraordinarily hardy grower, more than any other type we know of. DC XL is a handsome hardy monster flytrap, and we learn to love it more and more as we watch it grow over the seasons.

A giant monster of a Venus Flytrap plant. Grow one and judge for yourself! The "XL," in case it wasn't obvious, stands for X-tra Large. NOTE: The demand for DC XL is very high and supplies are extremely limited. We are propagating and growing DC XL as fast as we can to attempt to meet the very high demand.

Please note that the plant shown in the primary stock photo above is of a DC XL Venus flytrap, but it is not the exact plant you will receive.  You will receive a DC XL (genetically identical) potted in peat moss that has been propagated through cloning the plant in the photo.  The plant you will receive will be flowering-sized young to young adult plant.  Please see the secondary photo for a good example of the size of plant you can expect to receive.

Each order will ship with a detailed care sheet with a lot more information than is provided below.  But please be sure to read below so that you can know ahead of time if you can meet the needs of your potential future new Venus flytrap.

Care requirements (not hard to meet, but very specific and critical for the health of your Flytrap):

1)  Absolutely no terrariums nor humidity domes!  High humidity is NOT required for Venus flytraps, so don’t be fooled by other misinformation online.  Venus Flytraps should be grown outdoors in full sun or under very strong artificial lighting in an area with good air movement.  Failure to do so will result in an unhealthy plant at best and eventually a dead plant.

2)  Outdoor sunshine directly touching the plant for 4 or more hours per day.

3)  Low mineral or mineral free water must be used!  This usually means collected rain water, distilled water (you can find distilled water at any grocery store or convenience store) or reverse osmosis water.  Tap water and bottled water (other than distilled or deionized) will kill flytraps.  Boiling tap water does not remove minerals.  No well water either. 

4)   A dormant period in the winter months is required for long-term health of Venus flytraps.
