## 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.

Review: Already in love with my Audrey II - Such an awesome little plant and something I’ve always wanted. It arrived green and healthy and larger than I expected. It was very well packaged but I have never received a plant in this way. Assembly required. I wish it was already potted but instructions are detailed and seem to be easy to follow. There was a diagram on how to repot it which is great since I don’t have a clue. The seller provided contact information for questions or concerns which is reassuring. Although I was happy with this I will definitely use distilled water so have some ready for yours when it arrives. Minerals and chlorine in tap water can be deadly. Be sure and use it to soak the moss before planting. I also ordered some carnivorous plant food spray also from desertcart until I can get to a pet store for crickets or whatever Audrey II can eat. She will need about one bug a week. Since she will be grown indoors I will be using a full spectrum grow light for at least 6-7 hours a day kept 4 to 6 inches above her and providing darkness at night while maintaining high humidity by placing her pot on a tray pebbles with water keeping the roots above the water. I don’t think my 60+ years of gardening experience is going to help me with this little girl but with some patience and love we will fine. Hoping for a healthy and happy Audrey II. Update 5 days later. For me having to pot this plant in moss instead of potting soil even with detailed instructions was stressful since I as afraid I would harm the tiny roots but thankfully although not looking quite as robust she is still green and thriving. Today I received another fly trap from a different seller in a 2” pot with good soil that I can simply repot in potting soil suitable for a fly trap when needed which is so much better. If I purchase another flytrap I will have to know from the listing how it will be potted when I receive it. For that reason only I would not purchase from this seller again.
Review: 5 stars hands down⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great experience! - It’s extremely evident that the seller truly cares about the plants they sell. I was expecting my fly trap to be dead upon arrival, as my area is experiencing extreme weather conditions with temps dropping into the -30s with wind chills. This was NOT the case. My plants arrived perfectly healthy, wrapped in plastic with the root ball wrapped in a moist paper towel. There was also a heat pack (think of something similar to a hand warmer) that helped keep my plant alive. Also included with the package was the pot, moss, and 2 pages front and back of detailed instructions not only on how to set up a Venus fly trap- but also other important information on them as well. 2 days after planting, my VFT’s traps began opening. To my astonishment, it appears one already had a bug in it. That’s right. The seller even went as far as feeding the plant before shipping it. I absolutely would do business with this seller again and admire the care they put into their product!

### ⭐ Died immediately - potting mix questionable
*by S***M on August 21, 2025*

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.
