True to its name, Venus Flytrap ‘Mammoth’ is one of the most impressive large-trapped cultivars available. Well grown, mature plants can produce individual traps commonly measuring 1.5–2 inches long under optimal conditions—far larger than standard Venus flytraps.
‘Mammoth’ is prized for its vigorous growth and thick, powerful traps, which snap shut quickly and develop rich red interiors in strong light. Its bold size and classic flytrap form make it a standout centerpiece for any carnivorous plant collection.
Shipped Size vs. Mature Size
Shipped size: Plants are shipped young and established, typically measuring 2–4 inches across, depending on the season and time in the growing cycle. (typical trap size that is shipped is around 1" in length but patience and lots of direct sunlight along with optimal care will eventually produce the largest traps)
