Dionaea muscipula Venus Flytrap
$10.95
See below for a full description.
A true American classic. Native to the coastal plains of North Carolina, this plant is often a person's first introduction to carnivorous plants. It's a small plant, rarely growing larger than 4 inches in diameter. As a U.S.-native, it grows best outdoors in full sun during the growing season. In fall, it slows down and prepares for winter dormancy. While dormant, it can withstand an overnight frost down to 20°F. Growth resumes in spring.

Overall Awesome
Flytraps arrived pretty quickly and they were beautiful. My 5 year old son was thrilled!! We have had such fun this past month watching them grow and “catch†bugs.

WOW!!
I had been looking for one of these for a while and couldn’t find a place that had nice healthy Venus fly traps. This arrived packaged well with no damage to the plant at all. Was still moist and plant arrived very healthy. Me and my boyfriend love to check on it outside and see which trap has a fly in it! Can’t wait to see how it grows!

Never Disappointed
First, I am enjoying the life of my plant! It arrived well packaged and it is currently thriving on rain water and sunlight. I have purchased from this company before and I have never been disappointed. I have purchased plants for a science lab and the students were excited to see the plants every time. Great plants to purchase for virtual learning. They will not disappoint!

Beautiful!
All of my plants arrived carefully packaged and in great health. The fly trap was small, as expected, and has at least doubled in size in the last 2 months.
