Venus Flytrap 'Red Purple'

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.

Quick FAQ

Why Pargo and not PUDO?

We partner with Pargo because it’s part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are kept indoors at local shops and businesses, protected from heat, sunlight and weather until collection — ideal if you prefer to collect at your convenience or aren’t home during the day.

To keep every order safe and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we deliver only via Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted for handling fragile and temperature-sensitive items.

• 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!
