Dionaea muscipula 'Bristle Tooth' - Venus Fly Trap

Dionaea muscipula ‘Bristle Tooth’ is a distinctive Venus Flytrap clone characterised by its exceptionally fine, hair-like marginal teeth that give the traps a soft, brush-like appearance.

Unlike dentate forms with broad or jagged teeth, this clone produces long, thin marginal lashes that resemble fine bristles. Trap size is generally small to medium, with the unusual tooth structure being the primary feature of interest.

Trap Form & Appearance

Traps typically retain a classic Venus Flytrap shape, with the fine marginal teeth creating a delicate, textured outline around the trap edges. Tooth length and density may vary between individual traps and across the growing season.

Colour Notes

Trap colour is usually green to red-blushed, with stronger interior colour developing under high light. Colour intensity may fluctuate with season and growing conditions.

Growth Notes

Growth is steady, with plants forming compact clumps over time. As with all Venus Flytraps, seasonal variation is normal, and the most pronounced tooth expression is often seen during active summer growth.

Please note: ‘Bristle Tooth’ is grown for its fine marginal teeth rather than trap size or colour intensity. Images are representative of the clone type, and individual plants may vary slightly in appearance.
