I searched all over for a place to buy a Venus fly trap from. My wife and I talked about it on and off for a long time. Every time I got on and searched for anything related to the purchase and/or care of the plant(s) Carnivorous Plant Nursery popped up. It took me a while to pull the trigger on the purchase and my immediate reaction to Carnivorous Plant Nursery was great. I reached out to Colin in advance of the purchase, when the purchase was made, and again when the VTP I bought looked like it was dying. He immediately responded and was so willing to help. After going through the environment I have the plant in at the house including the soil the VTP is in I decided to buy the recommended soil sold by the nursery. Which I have since seen an immediate turn around on the health of the plant. What this entire review boils down to is that Colin was amazing and I cannot say that enough. Very happy with him and the outcome of my Venus Fly Trap that I named Gretchen before we even had the plant here at the house. My wife and I laughed and adored when Colin responded to me saying that "Gretchen needs this and that." As if the VTP is actually a pet of mine, lol! I am happy with the experience and have seen success with the plant come back to life with the products and help from Carnivorous Plant Nursery (Colin specifically). Thank you for everything! If I decide to buy more insect eating plants this is where I'll be.
