Adult Sized Venus Flytrap - Fly Trap - (Dionaea Muscipula) Carnivorous Plant 3 inch Pot

I got a beautiful, healthy, strong little Venus Fly Trap that was very well packaged for it's long 4 day journey to my doorstep. A bit smaller than I was hoping for but oh well. It even thoughtfully came with it's own pot and Sphagnum moss growing medium as well as easy to understand printed instructions. Which I think is the perfect starter kit for anyone new to carnivorous plants. Since I already bought organic soil specially made for carnivorous plants & a pretty teal pot. I separated two of the rhizomes to root/grow in the pot & moss it came with(Yes, they're both moistened with/sitting in a deep plant saucer with an inch or two of distilled water. Beneath a BRIGHT full spectrum UV reptile bulb as well) If it dies, it's my fault since it arrived perfectly healthy but I am giving it the best of my efforts, knowledge, and experience with carnivorous plants. Thank Joel, you're awesome and I'll be purchasing from you again!!

wonderful little plant and came with enough detailed instructions for anyone to be successful! followed those instructions and its been weeks now- plant is happy and thriving, and there are no more flies in the house. customer service is friendly and top-notch too.

I’m pretty upset about this plant because it’s expensive with shipping and so are most of the ones online.I felt the plant would have been okay if I ignored the instruction from the seller, but it had great reviews and everyone said ‘follow instructions exactly’ so I did (including reviewers who seemed to have a variety of other carnivorous plants). I unpacked the plant had distilled water ready, didn’t overwater, kept it near an air purifier and source of light for ventilation and the basics (not direct light to burn it). It basically shriveled up and is dying and I surmise it’s the potting medium which I thought would be fine. Yes, it’s a hot humid summer and it does evaporate or get taken up by the plant quickly. The water evaporates very quickly but it’s definitely not over watered either. I’ve repotted it a few times to see if height relative to soil would matter (but not too much because too much messing with it is stressful for the plant). In this setup, as recommended by the seller though, I just can’t comprehend how it would survive. The first 2 photos are of the plant currently, and I think its days are limited. The next 3 photos are a healthy Venus fly traps had last year, just to compare the potting mediums and sellers.Last year I bought a $5 Venus fly trap from trader Joe which appeared to be more of a cactus potting medium for succulents and that plant flourished and grew and needed to be repotted. The only reason I ordered this one is because I didn’t know the plants go dormant in winter so when I saw it dry out last fall 2024, I figured I’d killed it somehow and now that I know it’s just dormant, I though I shouldn’t have thrown the twig away and could have waited until spring for it to come back (like my poinsettia). So I sprung for the expensive Venus fly trap because of the reviews.I feel strongly had I put it in another medium it might have survived because this one’s seems totally dried out. But I ignored my gut and stuck to the instructions. This would make sense to me for another tropical plant like an orchid but I don’t think this fly trap was getting the moisture needed in this setup. I was hoping it would eat some fruit flies and after all the instructions most the traps have died anyway.I either received a faulty plant or this setup doesn’t work for the environment. I tried putting it in humid spots like a bathroom window with indirect light, I tried a grow light, basically everything except for a change in the potting medium.Terribly disappointed. Don’t buy this, it’s more work than a cheaper version from the grocery store. For $5 I had a healthy beautiful plant last year in a cactus potting medium and it flourished. I fed it a few live Asian beetles, but this plant isn’t healthy enough to feed any critters to.

5 stars for customer service and communication alone!!! This seller was super helpful and kind when I gifted this flytrap to my daughter on base in Virginia... However, they wouldn't let her have the package (probably because it said "live plant") and they returned to sender. I contacted him and he shipped another plant to me. It arrived very quickly. It wasn't a very large plant, but only had about 3 healthy flytrap leaves on it. Instructions were great though, and since I've followed his advice on care to a T, it has grown so well and doubled it's flytrap leaves!! My flytrap catches bugs naturally outside in full sunshine!Super happy with my purchase and would 10/10 recommend! 1st picture was 2 months ago when it arrived, 2nd picture was taken today!

I love this plant! It seems to be of very good quality. Unfortunately, one of the leaves arrived broken, and another one was already starting to die when it got here. Still, two of them look healthy and are thriving.

The Venus Flytrap arrived in beautiful condition two days ago, sooner than I expected (yay). I had distilled water ready to go. The directions are detailed (they need to be) and helpful. Because I am not a very experienced plant person, I hope I did identify the roots correctly. They are skinny and, for me, hard to distinguish from the sphagnum. Only mentioning in case this is helpful for someone else. I very much appreciate the care this company gives their plants and accompanying materials.
