Growth resumes in spring.

    My flytrap went dormant (I hope ) early in the season , I monitor it and can’t wait for spring, here in South Florida.

    I took advantage of the BOGO and got a great deal on 2 beautiful VFTs. Arrived in excellent condition and currently thriving in their new home.

    Excellent flytrap! It flowered as soon as I got it, and I decided to just let it do its thing. It’s beautiful! Packaging and shipping were also top notch.

    One month later

    Posted by Joseph Schiavo on June 23, 2024

    The flytraps arrived in healthy condition. I planted them in a good sized pot that sits in a plastic container to catch rain water and hold distilled water. It is one month later and they are doing well. I planted a rescue flytrap I purchased from Hone depot.

    Caught a giant mayfly that barely fit in the trap on the first night. The legs were sticking out in the morning. Now it's sending up a flower
