Venus Flytrap Akai Ryu is Japanese for "Red Dragon." This is a gorgeous variety of VFT that shows beautiful deep burgundy red traps and petioles throughout the year. Traps have golden green margins. Very young plants frequently show all red coloration. Juvenile or low lit plants may show some green color.

Royalties from each sale go to the endangered species conservation program at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

Healthy plant arrived well packaged.

I've made a few orders from Carnivorous Plant Nursery now. Every order and every plant I ordered came well packaged and healthy. This is no exception. The akay ryui is now sitting out in my bog garden, growing happily. It is like the plant did not even notice it was transported and transported across the country. Thank you CPN!

Adorable little plant

So happy to have purchased. It is small but that was anticipated. It is alive and well and we will be making more purchases in the future

Smaller than pictured and expected. All had black tips upon arrival. Did not make it.

Plants arrived as noted but very small. Also ordered another variety that had 1-3 roots per plant. None made it. Save your time and money. Honest opinion, if not a really experienced grower would be to get fully potted and mature plant at a local nursery if you can find them. Would not purchase again.

The best customer service

First time ordering from their site and was really excited for our Venus flytrap -Akai ryu. Well, Memorial Day weekend it showed up and was not looking good. I emailed them (thinking I would get an automated response, not expecting much from the communication). They not only responded on a holiday weekend, providing feedback on what to do with our original plant, but sent a beautiful replacement as well! I will definitely be ordering from them again and highly recommend!
