Got a green thumb? Then you’ll want to get ahold of the Grow Your Own Venus Fly Trap. This is the stuff old horror movies were made of and here you can have one of these carnivorous plants right in your own home! The Venus Fly Trap is a native of South Carolina, USA. It lures, captures and consumes real live flies! Might want to watch those fingers!
Grow Your Own Venus Fly Trap, no we're not kidding. There are very few examples of veg being able to get its own back against all of us fauna, and the Venus Fly Trap is probably the most famous. It may seem strange that of all the meat a Venus Fly Trap chooses to eat, it picks flies, yuk, still we guess they're easy to catch. You don't often see a plant bringing down a bounding gazelle now do you - even if they do taste better.
Their natural home is South Carolina in the USA, and they can be a challenging plant to grow indoors as conditions must be as close as possible to their natural habitat (mossy and marshy surroundings), in order for the plant to thrive. The kit comes with a mini plant pot, seeds, a compost pellet, and of course detailed instruction on how to raise your seed into a fully fledged carnivorous plant.
