A Giant Red Venus Flytrap with Serious Collector Appeal
Venus Flytrap ‘Red Purple’ is a sought-after giant cultivar originally from Triffid Park, Australia, known for its intense deep red colouration, impressive trap size and strong vigorous growth during the growing season.
This mature collector specimen develops rich blood-red interiors and striking red teeth in full sun, giving it a dramatic appearance similar to famous giant cultivars like B52 and Purple Ambush.
Fully Acclimatised for South African Conditions
This plant has been fully acclimatised outdoors in South Africa and is already well established. Unlike fresh imports, it is adapted to local growing conditions and seasonal changes.
Current Winter Appearance
The plant is currently in its natural winter dormancy phase, meaning growth slows down and traps become smaller during the colder months. Once spring arrives, it will wake up again and produce large vigorous summer growth reaching around 10–12cm across.
Collector-Grade Specimen
This is a mature, flowering-size collector plant — not a tiny starter division. A fantastic choice for growers looking for bold colour, strong growth and an eye-catching display specimen.
Shipping & Potting
This plant ships bareroot, with the roots carefully wrapped for safe delivery. It will arrive ready to pot up in your own carnivorous plant soil mix, outdoor bog garden or display pot.

Frequently Asked Question
Why do you use Pargo instead of PUDO?
We partner with Pargo because it forms part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are stored indoors at local businesses, protected from heat, direct sunlight and the weather until collection. It's an excellent option if you're not home during the day or prefer collecting your parcel when it's convenient.
To protect every order and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we use only Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted to transport fragile and temperature-sensitive plants safely.
- Just a quick heads-up: Since plants are natural products, you might notice some slight variations when unboxing your plants
- We do our best to make sure the plants you receive look like the ones in the photos, but keep in mind that seasons change and plants grow. Some leaves might age and die off, new ones might sprout and the plants may look a bit different over time
- Cultivo is a boutique-style store and 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. Some are once-off or limited releases, which means they are available only while stocks last. The labels are spot on, so even if the plant looks a bit different, we 100% guarantee it’s the real deal
- Also, all the photos you see are of our own plants unless we mention otherwise. We update images occasionally to keep things fresh. If you want to see updated pictures before you buy, just let us know - we’re happy to help!
