I’m planning to get a Venus fly trap, but I haven’t decided where I’m going to get it from. I see them at stores like Lowes and Home Depot, but they don’t look like they’re in good condition. Am I better off ordering online?

Bought my very first venus flytrap today… Everyone, meet: Audrey II 🌱🥹💕
He just doesn't look well. Any advice? I'm only a couple of months into carnivorous plants.
Why oh why is there no dew? Received it 5ish weeks ago. Only water with RO. Looks like it’s getting new growth but no dew! I’ve watched gnats walk across it and fly away! 😒
I got my hands on a Nepenthes Globosa x Ampullaria Variegated hybrid! I can’t wait to watch this little guy grow 🥰 added a pic of the mature form as well!
The new pitcher has been growing so much faster than I expected!
Pitchers popping up like crazy! 🥰
My newest Drosera😍
Hello, I have Venus Trap seeds but im contemplating in waiting for Spring to start planting them due to the dormancy phase looming later this month. I’m not keen on tricking nature and have it sprout earlier to then put it to sleep. Indoor light, 50/50 in Perlite and Peat Moss, and distilled water ready to go. Im open to opinions for anyone who experienced this hesitation before. Thanks in advance!
Ping repotting day today! Split a couple of pings that had pups and potted them up into their fresh new homes. Excited to see how they develop over the next few months
A majority of the petioles are browning at the ends now. The plant has some flowers that last closed a couple weeks ago but the stem of the flowers is still mostly green. What stage is this plant in now? Is it still healthy? Thank you.
My plants are outside this summer, it's my first time doing that and I wondered what temperature should I be bringing them back inside at? B - OH
This is my first time owning a VFT 🪴 I have only had it for a month (always indoor) and it just keeps on growing! Guessing it’s happy 😊 Though with winter coming means it’s dormancy season (I’ve been tolled between Nov to Feb) is almost here. Some people were saying to keep in the fridge but with the size of it, i’m not sure I want it in the fridge 😅 Any tips on how dormancy season works with these ?
I have heard about this "winter dormancy" period for Venus flytraps, does anyone have tips for this? ( first time having a Venus Flytrap before😅)
OUR PING FINALLY FLOWERED!! 🥹🖤
My pinguicula bloomed overnight 🥹💜🌸
I think it is too cold for my fly traps to be outside…hope do i winterize?
