The Venus Flytrap ‘Sawtooth’ is a unique selection known for its finely serrated trap edges and compact growth habit. This variety forms symmetrical rosettes with short, sturdy leaves that develop specialized traps used for nutrient capture. ‘Sawtooth’ is suitable for indoor containers, greenhouse environments, and controlled outdoor conditions. It grows best in nutrient-free, acidic substrates and requires clean water with low mineral content. Ideal for collectors, educational growing, and specialized plant displays.
