Dionaea muscipula 'Cross Tooth Freak' - Venus Fly Trap

Dionaea muscipula ‘Cross Tooth Freak’ is an unusual Venus Flytrap clone known for its highly irregular marginal teeth, which may appear crossed, fused, twisted, or unevenly spaced.

This clone produces traps that vary significantly in appearance, with some showing relatively normal teeth while others display pronounced deformities. Trap size is generally small to medium, and overall presentation can differ markedly between individual traps on the same plant.

Trap Form & Appearance

The defining feature of ‘Cross Tooth Freak’ is its unpredictable tooth morphology rather than trap size or colour. Traps usually retain a broadly recognisable Venus Flytrap shape, but marginal teeth may cross over, fuse together, or develop asymmetrically. This variability is normal and expected for the clone.

Colour Notes

Trap colour is typically green to lightly blushed, with interior colour developing under strong light. Colour expression is secondary to tooth form and may vary seasonally.

Growth Notes

Growth is steady, with plants often producing a mix of normal and highly distorted traps. As with all Venus Flytraps, seasonal variation is expected, and younger plants may take time to fully express the clone’s most extreme traits.

Please note: ‘Cross Tooth Freak’ is grown for its irregular and unpredictable appearance. Images are representative of the clone type, and individual plants will vary significantly.
