    So it's been YEARS since I've gotten into the hobby. I went to Walmart and they had VFT near the register. From what I seen they actually looked pretty good! The leaves were short and traps were dark red. I after about a week I still seen a few sitting there and they still had their dark red...

    Newbie from New York

    Hi there I'm Jessica! I'm new to the wonderful world of carnivorous plants. I currently have two Venus fly traps, a few mixed sarracenia, and one nepenthes. Most are from Lowes, but all are doing very well. I look forward to talking to you all, and learning as much as possible.

    Bugs Found in Sphagnum Moss

    Hi, I was looking at the spaghnum moss of my venus fly trap, and I noticed that there were these tiny bugs crawling around in it that were no bigger than the head of a pin.

    Newly reborn carnivorous plant nerd

    Well, I just received a new carnivorous plant as a house warming present from my parents. I have had past expirience with Venus fly trap, and cobra lillies. But when we saw the mysterious Nepenthes pitcher plant, we just couldn't leave it behind! I have drooled on them before at an exotic...

    Desk Top VFT

    I'm wondering what is the best way to grow a Venus Fly Trap in a typical college dorm, preferably on a desk in a pot with a desk lamp. I don't know how much light I'll be able to access from the window and want to cover my bases. Can anyone recommend a desktop grow lighting solution for my VFT...

    aphids will not go away.

    Hi, I have aphids on a venus fly trap and I was told to use rubbing alcohol to kill them. I did that, only there are still aphids! I have even submerged the plant in water for a day and still nothing! I have tried neem oil and nothing. I'm starting to think that these aphids are like...
