Dionaea muscipula 'Lupinotuum' is a cultivated Venus Flytrap clone maintained through vegetative propagation to preserve its unique characteristics. This cultivar originated in horticultural collections where growers selected plants displaying stable mutations or unusual growth traits. Like all Venus Flytraps, it ultimately descends from populations native to the coastal bogs of North and South Carolina in the United States. 'Lupinotuum' is particularly recognised for being rare European cultivar valued for unusual red growth and collector appeal. Mature plants produce paired snap traps equipped with sensitive trigger hairs that enable rapid prey capture. Depending on light intensity, season and maturity, the traps may develop green, red, burgundy or orange pigmentation that highlights the distinctive form of the cultivar. Growth occurs as a low perennial rosette that expands gradually through division. The defining features of 'Lupinotuum' remain most stable when propagated vegetatively rather than from seed, making genuine clones highly sought after by collectors. Like all forms of Dionaea muscipula, the plant supplements its nutrition through the capture and digestion of small insects while requiring a cool winter dormancy for long-term health.
