This one has a soft spot in my heart. If you're looking for a colourful showstopper and a true collector’s plant, Maroon Monster is the one I always recommend - and for good reason.

This 5-year-old plant is a once-off import from the world-renowned FlytrapStore in the USA. From all the red Venus flytrap cultivars out there, this one stands out above the rest. It grows slowly, sure — but when those massive, deep red traps appear in summer, it's 100% worth the wait. Every. Single. Time.

ℹ️ Quick FAQ: Why does it grow so slowly?

Maroon Monster is known for being a strong but slow grower. It dies back quite significantly in winter and takes a bit longer to wake up in spring, but it comes back with serious drama. Trust me — it’s worth the wait!

🌿 Winter Dormancy – What to Expect

Venus flytraps are summer-growing temperate plants. In winter, it enters a winter rest phase and may lose most of its traps and appear much smaller. Don’t worry — this is totally normal. It regrows strongly from its underground bulb each spring, and comes back even better if cared for properly

Only one plant available — and no restocks planned. This is a once-in-a-season opportunity to own an elite red flytrap with serious visual impact.
