Venus Fly Trap, Grow Your Own Venus Flytrap in a 100% Self Sustaining Glass Terrarium, Maintenance Free, Easy to Grow, Healthy Growth Guarantee

My first plant was DOA, it was really cold when I ordered it&it was left in mailbox overnight with no heat pack. But I requested a refund & was sent a new plant with a heating pack. It has flourish & I just removed it from glass jar. I seen alot of people inquiring on removal without damaging the trap. I took the jar, wrapped it in a towel& let it hit the floor. It made a pop noise& waalaa, plant was free& glass contained. Rinsed it with warm water, now its drying before I put it in its new home..

I just unboxed my little flytrap . It looks very healthy. And yes, it's teeny: that's the point! If I wanted a big one, I could have gotten that at my local nursery. The pictures clearly show its adorable teenyness.But that part is pretty much exactly what I expected. What I didn't expect was the level of customer service they give. My order was supposed to be delivered a few days ago. Well, it was delivered, all right -- but even the Postmaster can't figure out who it was delivered TO. Definitely to someone on the wrong side of town, though. (USPS, you had one job!) I'm trying to get some results filing forms with the USPS, but meanwhile, I contacted Bloomify to ask them to poke the USPS from their end, as frequently the shipper gets better results than the recipient when trying to track lost packages. Well, they did a lot better than that -- they sent me a whole new plant (by UPS this time!) even though it was no fault of theirs that my original one was mis-delievered to some random person who wasn't honest enough to give it back to the Post Office. That is service above and beyond. Once I move (I really don't want to haul any more plants than I already have, including an 8' ficus, halfway across the country!) you'd better believe I'll be ordering some more plants from these folks. Jewel orchids in particular come to mind.

Plant did great inside the glass bottle. Once it was to the point of being too big for the bottle I transplanted to carnivorous plant soil. I removed using the tweezer method, got the plants out and separated into about 8 little plants. rinsed the roots to get off all of the gel, planted and it looked great for a couple days. On day 3-4 half of the plants turned black. and by the end of the 1st full week, I only had 1 very tiny plant left.As of writing this, its been 3 weeks and I still have only 1 very tiny plant left, and the 'mouth' has not opened for feeding, not sure if it will or if it will eventually just die too.so sad :(

Ever since I was young, I've wanted a carnivorous plant. They're such fascinating species, plants that can eat animals! And the most famous is the Venus fly trap, no question.When I saw I could buy a mini Venus fly trap in a bottle that I didn't need to do anything to take care of it (for a few months, at least), I pressed "Buy" faster than I could blink. The jar came intact, with some instructions telling me to keep the plastic film on and never pull open the cork, as it will cause mold to invade the bottle. I obeyed, and watched the plant grow visibly bigger and bigger each month. After five months, the plant started to turn brownish and it seemed it was getting far too big for the bottle, so I contacted the company as to how I should proceed from here.The company replied quickly with a new set of instructions, telling me how to repot the plant. I quickly bought forceps, carnivorous plant soil, distilled water, and a self-watering pot to prepare the plant's move into a new home. I used the forceps to carefully pull the plant out of the jar, then I washed it thoroughly to clean any biogel off, as per the instructions given. Then I put it in the new pot full of carnivorous soil, watered the top with distilled water, filled the bottom tray with more distilled water, and covered the top of the pot with saran wrap to keep the conditions humid.To my great dismay, the plant turned blacker and blacker with each passing day. Within a week, it was completely black, and when I touched it, it crumbled into the soil. I had killed my first carnivorous plant. It would not be the last, as this happened to the sundew plant I had purchased from the same company, which I transplanted into a second pot on the same day as the Venus fly trap. Unlike the Venus fly trap, the sundew was perfectly healthy and green, but it too, died within a couple days of repotting.I contacted the seller and they graciously sent me two replacement plants. Currently, my new Venus fly trap and sundew plants are growing safely in their jars, but I'm dreading the day when it comes that I'll have to move them into new homes, because it's likely they won't make it, and they'll end up joining their predecessors in their earthy graves.5/21/2022 Update: My replacement plants both died again after repotting. I give up on growing carnivorous plants, at least those from this brand. It seems they're too dependent on the special gel to grow, and without it, they die promptly afterwards, if the conditions aren't perfect.
