Grow Your Own Venus Fly Trap: Just Add Flies!

Enter the mysterious realm of a true oddity-a carnivorous plant. The book that comes with this kit leads you on an absorbing journey from a contemplation of how the flytrap works without muscles or nerves to the care and feeding of the plant. Scientists as well as everyday gardeners are fascinated by this natural wonder, which-despite its primeval exoticism-is actually indigenous to the southern U.S. The kit contains Venus Flytrap seeds, mini planter, peat pellet, sand, sealable plastic bag for a terrarium effect, and the 32-page guidebook. The plant doesn’t actually grow as fast or as large as the most famous Venus Flytrap-“Audrey” in Little Shop of Horrors-but that’s good news for the pets in the family.
