Product Description
You will receive a live healthy adult size Venus Flytrap Plant. It comes with a 3 inch net pot, just like the one in the picture, moss appropriate for carnivorous plant soil loosely packed, and a full page detailed caresheet, written by an experienced Venus Flytrap grower specifically designed for beginners, explaining how to take care of Venus Flytraps. All you will need is a bowl or saucer to hold the Venus Flytrap's pot that it comes with and a little bit of water, a gallon or so of reverse osmosis or distilled water, and a sunny window or a place in the yard to put your Venus Flytrap's pot in. Humidity domes and year round warm weather are not necessary. Don't be fooled by other offers for Venus Flytraps that have them arrive in or with terrariums or humidity domes. These type of plants have strong light requirements and it is a myth that they need high humidity. The truth is that Venus Flytrap setups with terrariums or humidity domes almost always cause these types of plants to eventually die. They need to be grown in open air with containers that allow air to get into their soil and there should be little to block or diffuse their lighting. Venus Flytraps take about 2-3 years from seed to reach a decent size. A kit with Venus Flytrap seeds is not going to quickly turn into a Venus Flytrap about the size of the one offered in this listing. A beginner new to Venus Flytraps should be aware that if Venus Flytrap seeds are bought, even with a kit, that it will take at least 2 1/2 to 3 years, assuming it is grown correctly, to reach the size of the Venus Flytraps offered in this listing.

Do not bother going to the local store since these come in the mail so healthy looking and in such a short time they are already blooming and looking strong. I really recommend this seller! Obviously he cares for his plants and he is well versed in growing these unique Venus Fly Traps!!!

As a follow-up, though I followed Joel’s great directions, feedback and even provided additional lighting just for my VFT, my experience with it, unfortunately, lasted only a week or so, far less time than I’d hoped. I’m somewhat disappointed.
I received 3 healthy plants, 1 large, 1 medium and 1 very small, they were well packaged with plenty of moisture.
I followed the directions that came with it and did some research online. I only water it with water from our Reverse Osmosis filter.
The pictures attached are after 8 months. It is thriving and about to bloom! I had it outside during the summer and it caught multiple wasps and flies. I brought it inside when the temperature started to drop and it is still very happy.
Very happy with my purchase, will probably order some more supplies from this seller. The information provided with the plant and in his website was extremely helpful.
