# Venus Fly traps! I've always been fascinated with Venus fly traps!…

_Posted by Horse Lover🐴🐈🏜🤠 on 2024-11-12_

Venus Fly traps! I've always been fascinated with Venus fly traps! The first I got came from lowes and was on its Last leg, but I gave it tap water not distilled and it quickly died. Secondly I bought a seed staring kit and used distilled water and took very good care of it, yet they never came up. Long story short where can I get good cheap Venus fly traps or cool carnivorous plants? It's oki if they need a little help but I don't want them to die!!! And ofc the cheaper the better! I would also be up for seed staring kits if they actually come up 😊! THANKS!!

If you want to buy carnivorous plants online there are many options, here’s some that I frequently use and highly recommend!: California Carnivores, Carnivero, Predatory Plants, Rainbow Carnivorous Plants,  
and Curious Plant. Those are the biggest nurseries and will have pretty much whatever carnivorous plant you’re looking for!

Ideally buy from online place like California Carnivorous or Predatory Plants. The ones in Hardware or TJs are usually on their way out, unless you catch them just as their delivered. And then you'll want them in super sunny spot, and a tray about 1" deep of DI water at all times. And they will go dormandormant during the fall/winter
