Growing Plants Was Never This Easy

Your venus flytraps will easily grow big and strong, feeding on delicious insect treats and ample sunlight. The deluxe terrarium is able to trap and contain enough humidity to give your plants a boggy environment and make them feel comfortable, away from their natural habitat. Fresh air will circulate freely through the terrarium because of the vents provided in the lid. This will prevent the growth of mildew or other fungi.

Glass terrariums aren’t good for carnivorous plants because they heat them up to high levels when kept in direct sunlight. The deluxe terrarium will keep your green pets in a natural, boggy environment even when kept on the window sill. All you need is a sunny spot and pure water free of leaching minerals. Flytraps like winter dormancy when their leaves dry up and go black. They will regrow right back every spring. 

Teaching Kids About Evolution

Venus flytraps modify their leaves into trapping structures. They need to do so in order to survive. These plants appeared in wet, marshy areas where the soil didn’t have enough nutrients to support the needs of these plants. To make up for the scantily available nutrients in the soil, these cool plants had to evolve and construct insect catching traps.

You can examine their unique trap structure while they wait for innocent flies to drop by. As soon as a fly lands inside the trap, they will get shut inside, and slowly digested by the merciless plant. You can easily watch their trap in action by giving them treats. Be careful not to overfeed them or stimulate the trap without providing a treat. A trap can only close and open so many times and poking it just to watch it work isn’t good for the plant.

Everything You Need To Grow Your Plants Bigger

Sphagnum peat moss has been provided with your kit. It is an excellent soil-mix to grow your venus flytraps in. The deluxe terrarium along with the peat moss will ensure that there is no damage to their roots due to dissolved minerals. Keep rainwater, distilled water, or reverse osmosis water ready to welcome your venus flytraps and for future watering.

It takes up to 3 years for carnivorous plants to grow into full-grown adults. But all the carnivorous plants available in our online shop are already in their prime and ready to catch their prey. Your meat-eating plants will arrive 2-3 inches tall, which is considered adult-sized. They’ll continue to grow to their full length with your help.
