Venus Flytrap Size Chart
Wondering how big Venus flytraps get? Whether you're just getting started or shopping for a collector’s giant, this handy chart compares Venus flytrap size by age, trap size and bulb size. Our flytraps are grown in South Africa and available in several size ranges, from baby bug-munchers to flowering-size giants
We stock Venus flytraps for beginners and exclusive collector flytraps - all grown with care, fully acclimatised to our local climate and shipped nationwide
Most Venus flytraps grow to around 10–12cm across, with actual traps reaching 2–3cm. Some cultivars can grow up to 15cm, with traps up to 4cm (or even 5cm!) in ideal conditions. But those YouTube videos of giant traps munching birds or sheep? Nu-uh... not real! 😉
