Customer Reviews
One of the traps on my Venus was already black when I got it at delivery place. Please read the care instructions carefully before you buy the plant so that you can buy the carnivorous soil with the plant if you only buy bareroot. And it only uses distilled water or rain water. I've been trying to care well for my venus flytrap but one of the other traps is also starting to die. Please read carefully how to care for a Carnivorous plant before you buy one because they need different care than other plants and soil. Other than that service of Cultivo was fast and efficient.
Well packed. Only one trap disn't make it
