Venus Flytrap Terrarium Kit

With the Venus Flytrap Terrarium, you can keep these bug devourers as green pets and entertain yourself with their insect-craving antics.

  • The kit includes a live Venus flytrap plant, 4.5″ diameter terrarium, sphagnum peat moss, and instructions.
  • These plants ‘trap’ their prey with a clever hair-trigger mechanism. Once trapped, they are slowly digested. Your flytrap will have at least 3 such traps, ready to snap and trap a bug!
  • Terrariums come in an assortment of bright colors.
  • Growing to this size takes almost 3 years, so this is a best seller compared to kits that come with seeds.
  • LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED! Please do not order if it’s below 40°F or above 85°F in your area. Our live arrival guarantee will be void if ordered during these temperatures.
Recommended for ages 4 years and up, with adult supervision
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD — Small parts. Not for children under 3 years

Description

Venus Flytrap Terrarium Kit is a novelty which allows you to own a plant as a green pet. It’ll give you all the satisfaction of having a pet but without the hassles that come with it. Venus flytraps take up to 3 years to grow into adult plants from seeds. This starter kit takes away that waiting period so that you get an active plant which you can keep and grow bigger.

Your Venus Flytrap Terrarium Kit Will Contain

  • Venus flytrap plant
  • Terrarium with 4.5 inches diameter
  • Sphagnum peat moss
  • Kit Instructions

Easy to Maintain and Look After

Flytraps require a little extra attention than other carnivorous plants. They need a high humidity environment and plenty of sunlight. Venus Flytrap Terrarium Kit makes sure that these needs of your green pet get fulfilled. It comes with a robust 4.5” diameter terrarium, which has been designed to maintain a comfortable level of humidity for your flytrap. The plastic terrarium also traps enough sunlight to keep the Venus flytrap warm. And, unlike glass terrariums, this boggy habitat doesn’t allow your plant to get burned down.

The ventilated lid of the terrarium allows a fresh draft of air to reach your pet flytrap. This prevents the growth of mildew or other fungi. Sphagnum peat moss helps in creating the same soil conditions that Venus flytraps find in their natural habitat. Flytraps do go dormant during winter when their leaves dry up and go black. But they regrow right back in spring.

Watch It Snap and Trap

Venus flytraps need to devour insects because the soil in which they grow lacks nutrients. They have a snap trap which is triggered when a bug lands on the sensitive hairs inside the trap lobes. Your kit will come with a flytrap having at least three such traps, ready to engulf a gullible insect. You can watch the snap trap in action either by placing your green pet in an area with lots of flies or giving it a treat in the form of frozen flies.

This snap trap is unique to Venus flytraps. Other carnivorous plants use other trap structures to catch their prey. Keep in mind that false triggering of snap traps are harmful to Venus flytraps. Every trap closing requires energy. In order to fend off any accidental triggers, a lid has been provided for the terrarium. When your flytrap outgrows the terrarium you can take the lid off so that its growth isn’t hindered.

Grow It Bigger

Venus Flytrap Terrarium presents an amazing opportunity for those looking to begin their journey into the world of carnivorous plants. Your pet flytrap will be a healthy adult, 2-3 inches tall when it arrives and it will continue to grow to its full length inside the terrarium. Growing flytraps to this size from seeds takes about 3 years. With this kit, you can conveniently skip that waiting period and get a plant that’s ready to trap some tasty victims.

Make sure that you provide enough sunlight to your Venus flytrap and keep watering it. Use rain water, distilled water, or reverse osmosis water to keep the roots of your flytrap healthy and promote its growth. As you care for your green pet, you’ll learn what works best for it, and also start to understand this miracle of nature better.

    Directions for care were somewhat confusing, but got it figured out and the plant is doing great!!!!

  2. 4 out of 5

    Plant was in good shape when it arrived. Although it was bigger than the container so I will have to find a larger one soon. My only complaint is they did not send enough peet soil to cover the whole root system.

    This plant is really cool! I was a little unsure how a live plant would be mailed successfully but they have it down! Item was accurately described & item arrived as promised.

    Arrived alive and weeks later it’s growing bigger.

  7. 5 out of 5

    The flytrap was easy to care for and is growing bigger every day and that it’s still going strong

  8. Arrived quickly and in perfect condition! It has settled in quite nicely over the past couple of weeks and is a brilliant green (trap from this seller is on right in photo). It has grown in size rather considerably since arriving, and arrived with almost no dead matter needing removal.

  9. Such a cute Venus fly trap! It has at least six suckers on it and is planted in the greatest planter for this kind of baby VFT! Directions included are awesome too! Would be loads of fun for kids or for yourself! I am loving mine!

  10. I live in Minnesota and was unsure of ordering a tropical plant through the mail, but this exceeded my expectations! Packaged exceptionally-well, and very easy to set up. The terrarium even came in my grandson’s favorite color (purely by accident!). Love, love!

  11. Love it!!! Arrived very fast, packaged nicely. The plant arrived healthy, and is now living on my porch with all my other plants.

  12. My plant came in the mail, had to snip a few black traps. It’s as healthy as a plant in a box can get. It will bounce back nicely. Added a little of my peat moss mixture to it and it looks good! Thanks ❤️

  13. Such a great plant! Everything was packaged beautifully, the plant was in excellent condition, and the instruction/care guide was perfect! The only thing I didn’t understand was if I should leave the extra water in the terrarium after the moss tablets had soaked for an hour. I left it in, so hoping I did it right lol. Will definitely be purchasing from this shop again!

  14. Very satisfied with my order!!! It was my first time ordering a live plant, so I was a little worried about it, but everything was perfect upon arrival! The plant was healthy and it came with very good instructions on how to pot and care for it.

  15. My plant arrived happy and healthy with easy to follow instructions! A great new addition to my plant family. Thank you!

  16. I love it! It arrived promptly and healthy, came with very informative directions and care information. My kids love to show it off to their friends, but the plant is kept safe because it came with a terrarium lid that keeps tiny fingers from messing with it.

  17. I bought the plant as a birthday present for my son he always wanted one. It comes super carefully packed and with all the things you need to set it up. They even included instructions on what to do and how to care for it. I contacted them to ask something and they responded kindly and right away. My boy was very happy with his plant. I recommend this shop 100%.

  18. Can’t believe how easy it was to set up. Arrived alive!!

  19. Package came quickly and was packaged very well. Great instruction guide for setting up the container. Very happy with this purchase

  20. The plant came fast and healthy. Nice package and great instructions! Thank you! Looking forward to watching our plant grow

  21. Instructions were great. Plant arrived quickly and was super happy and healthy.

    The 5/5 says a lot. I would be just repeating what others are saying. It was so much fun putting it altogether.
