Dionaea muscipula 'Sonic'
Dionaea muscipula 'Sonic'
Dionaea muscipula ‘Sonic’ was first selected by Yuri Sarzi in September 2011 because it looked identical to Dionaea‘Cupped Trap’ (S. Stewart), but with dark red traps. In its second year, however, the plant lost this “Cupped Trap” appearance and began to develop dentate‑like teeth, although the traps were clearly atypical. When the plant finally reached full size and flowered for the first time, its unusual teeth remained distinct throughout the year. The teeth vary from long, with alternating shorter and thinner ones, to short, triangular teeth that resemble a mix between sawtooth and dentate. Because the traps are convex, they snap shut very quickly. In summer, the leaves can reach up to 20 cm in length.
Country of Origin: Unknown
Temperature: 18°C - 30°C; winter dormancy around 5°C–10°C
Care: Moderate
Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily), or bright artificial light
Humidity: Moderate to high (50%–80%)
Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.
Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.
Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.
A tissue culture vessel is a sterile, transparent container (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.
These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy and contaminant-free until they're ready to transition to standard growing conditions.
Quick Hardening Steps:
- Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
- Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
- Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
- Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
- Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
