About this item

  • VENUS FLY TRAP PLANT: A gorgeous specimen of a Venus flytrap, Dionaea muscipula ‘Big Mouth' is a cultivar selectively bred for its large size. This Venus flytrap is safely within the top 3 largest varieties currently in cultivation. In addition to its massive traps, Flexx is a fast grower, and frequently clumps due to its in-vitro origins. – One parent plant frequently turns into many plantlets that can be separated into their own pots to build your collection.
  • LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE: Unlike other Venus Fly Traps that you must raise from seeds, these plants have already reached maturity and are preserved during the shipping process. Enjoy your plant as it continues to grow. Each plant comes with a live arrival guarantee: if your plant arrives dead or damaged, please contact us immediately and we will replace or refund your order.
  • DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS: Our website contains detailed step by step instructions as well as videos to help you succesfully grow your plant to its fullest potential.
  • BAREROOT- We ship our plants bareroot with a 3" plant pot and venus fly trap soil to ensure the plant can thrive during shipping. Unlike shipping prepotted, where the plant is expose to violent shipping conditions, we make sure the plant is perfectly comfortable for transportation. Be sure to have distilled water on hand before you plant arrives.

Product Description

Carnivorous plants are plants that derive some or most of their nutrients (but not energy, which they derive from photosynthesis) from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, typically insects and other arthropods. Carnivorous plants have adapted to grow in places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs. The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina.[3] It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids—with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves, which is triggered by tiny hairs (called "trigger hairs" or "sensitive hairs") on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap prepares to close, snapping shut only if another contact occurs within approximately twenty seconds of the first strike. Triggers may occur if one-tenth of the insect is within contact. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against wasting energy by trapping objects with no nutritional value, and the plant will only begin digestion after five more stimuli to ensure it has caught a live bug worthy of consumption. Although widely cultivated for sale, the population of the Venus flytrap has been rapidly declining in its native range. The species is currently under Endangered Species Act review by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

Customers are mixed about the health of the plant seed. Some mention that it's thriving, while others say that it died and withered within a week.

"...I also gave it only distilled water as instructed but it still died." Read more

Arrived beautiful & Healthy!
Maybe he ate too many flies at once? I don’t know, but I followed care directions carefully & trap by trap turning black, it appears completely dead. I’m cautiously optimistic it comes back? Not likely. Was SO ROBUST & HEALTHY on arrival. Should I have put a net dome over, so that the plant wasn’t digesting 5 trapped flies at once?

2.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointed
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2023
The Venus fly trap plant (right in the photo) looks healthy enough. Came with a couple of heads on it, but is much much smaller than I expected from the pictures. The packaging was also a bit of a mess. But I do appreciate the pot that came with specific care instructions.
