Large Size King Henry Giant Venus Flytrap (Fly Trap) Carnivorous Plant with 3 inch Pot

My 8-year-old son had been wanting a Venus Flytrap forever and after looking locally to no avail, I decided to check Amazon. Our little guy arrived super healthy, quickly, and with great care instructions. We didn't have the necessary DISTILLED water on hand--we had only Wal-Mart store brand bottled water which is "purified by distillation and reverse osmosis." We are rural and our little convenient store also had ZERO distilled water. So, we picked some up the next day. We've had our Venus Flytrap for about a week now and it's doing GREAT and the 4 of us have really enjoyed it. We fed it the first time 3 days post transplant and were amazed how the trap closed right up. We were planning on feeding it another fly again this week (1 a week, per instructions), but I noticed this morning it has already fed itself again! :) Again, super cool little plant. Hubby told me I should order another.

Arrived healthy in November. Expectations about size surpassed satisfaction. Shipping was faster than the estimated arrival date. Would trust to get all my carnivorous plants through him, (so don't ever retire!!)

There were too, too small like "just born', extremely delicate. I did everything they say as far as taking care of the plant. The tiny little plants are dead. I did no were so difficult to grow. Distilled water, a lot of sun and they have to eat otherwise they will die. I bought them because I had little black flies. Evidently they did not eat the flies whatever the motive was. And, as they suggest, to buy insects to feed them, was not for me. I did not know they were so complicated to grow. I just wanted a plant to eat the flies. I don't have the time to feed plants buying insects.

Pros:Arrived Quickly and in great condition (no dead leaves / stalks etc.)Great instructions on how to care for this special plant (I live in Florida, so cold temps are not generally a problem)The day after I planted it all branches/stalks were upgright and leaves open (branched out and up in a single day)Cons:None really. One thing to keep in mind if you have purchased and it has not yet arrived. Be careful when opening the box and DO NOT throw away the packing material... it is special moss that must be used to pot the plant (I opened the box and dumpted the material in the garbage... then read the instructions and promptly dug it back out of the trash).

Plant arrived healthy was dead in 2 days

Oh my goodness we love it. My son is learning about this in school and became obsessed. The plant arrived healthy with great instructions. We will probably get more! Thank you!

They died, 2, days

My plants arrived in good condition. I am hoping that they perk up a bit - just received them yesterday. They are so easy to plant! Love these!A few days later - these plants definitely catch flies! The dark spots in the front two pods on the left are flies. My two plants caught five flies total in the past few days. Both plants also have new pods growing out of the moss!
