Dionaea muscipula 'Dumplings' - Venus Fly Trap

Dionaea muscipula ‘Dumplings’ is an unusual Venus Flytrap clone known for its rounded, inflated trap shape and frequent trap deformities that give the plant a distinctive, sculptural appearance.

This clone typically produces small to medium traps that may appear swollen, cupped, or partially fused. Trap shape can vary significantly from one trap to the next, and not every trap will display the same degree of deformation.

Trap Form & Appearance

The characteristic “dumpling” shape is most noticeable during active growth, particularly in warmer conditions. Some traps may appear more normal at times, while others show pronounced rounding or irregular closure. This variation is normal for the clone and part of its appeal.

Colour Notes

Trap colour is generally green to lightly blushed, with interior colour developing under strong light. ‘Dumplings’ is grown primarily for its trap form rather than intense colour.

Growth Notes

As with all Venus Flytraps, seasonal variation is expected. Trap size and shape can change throughout the year, and young plants may take time to fully express the clone’s distinctive traits.
