This introductory collection of carnivorous plants is specifically selected for beginners and includes three of the most popular and easy to grow carnivorous plants. The Venus Flytrap is world famous for its actively moving traps. A Pitcher Plant, such as the Purple Pitcher Plant, is very curious with no moving parts but a pit fall trap that catches more insects than most carnivorous plants. Sundews grow a cluster of tentacle-like glistening traps that move slowly to snarl and engulf their prey.

These temperate, North American natives all grow in the same conditions, and are some of the easier carnivorous plants. Outdoor growing is ideal. If potted, they will do nicely in a small tray on a well-lit window sill during active growing months. During winter months plants should be allowed dormancy and will resume vigorous trap production come spring.

You select the size: small, medium, large, when available. For size and care information refer to the specific plant pages.

If ordered during winter months, plants may be sent that are dormant rhizomes, corms or hibernacula, trimmed of old traps. They will be true to size, but may not be showing their full forms. Given good growing conditions, they will emerge true to the size descriptions.

Terrarium kit carnivorous plants are shipped bare-root, wrapped in damp sphagnum moss. Photographs are representative of species, not the plants shipped.

So beautiful and healthy

I cannot believe the quality of these plants. I had gotten one from another place and these make that one look so scrawny. I just so happen to have a four year old visiting. He is fascinated with them. I will be ordering another set for his upcoming birthday.

Undersized plants, poor customer service

I ordered 2 of the starter sets and while the pitcher plants and Venus flytraps were the promised size, both sundews were smaller than advertised with one being markedly smaller than the other. I would not have cared had they both survived, but unlike the other plants which bounced back very nicely from shipping the runt sundew held on for a couple of months before dying at which point customer service refused to provide a replacement. That is certainly their prerogative, but if you get an undersized plant apparently the "Live & healthy arrival guaranteed." is only valid for 48 hours so complain immediately instead of waiting to see if the undersized plants survive.

A new addition to our family

Shipping was fast and the plants came well packaged. The plants are thriving, my whole family loves watching them grow and we all take turns feeding them. My daughter already wants a set all to her own.

apparently stupid
no soil no pot just paper towel and an fu

why in a starter kit is soil and a pot not included like in the pictures you should advertise your plants as you sell them not the mother plant

A new startup.

I am new to these plants. They arrived in very good condition. They are very small but so far they are doing good. I am excited for them to get big and start eating.
