Not difficult to care for, just very specific care instructions. If you’re willing to do the research it will be worth it

good for getting rid of dead flies in a nicer way than just binning em! it's been super nice to have my venus flytrap but don't expect any massive growth or a big plant when you grow it, still i think it's a great plant all in all :)

definitely attracts some bugs insides, and leaves brown if not fed or fed too little and wasted too much energy, but other than that it’s rly easy to take care of!! and it’s so cool and i love it!

Despite a rocky start, the wrong type of water and the wrong soil so I can’t transplant to a bigger pot it’s survivor. After using distilled water and soaking and draining off the excess this plant is surviving. Getting the pink in the ends in the open areas it appears to be growing. I’m looking forward to learning with this plant.

pretty easy to care for but it can be scary when the heads die (which is normal)

keep on top of watering as much as possible, feeding doesn’t need to be regulated as much

I like to keep them with my other plants because it will eat all the pests bothering my plants, and I feel like it’s more natural then getting pesticides:)

Love this plant!! Came in a little box with everything I needed off Amazon. I digress, I thought it was toast.
Repotted as the seller recommended, following the information to a T. In two weeks I have 6 new traps coming up. All of the traps that had been tripped to close in the travel have opened. This is quickly becoming my favorite plant. I can’t wait to “feed” him!

Fairly difficult to grow without lots of research. Very sensitive to their environment and very particular about their soil and water quality. Also requires a huge amount of sunlight.

They’re super low maintenance once you get their positioning right. Just loads of indirect bright light, the right soil, and not quite letting the soil dry out before the next water.

It’s only a pest magnet because it eats the little buggies! 10/10 would recommend getting!
