Dionaea muscipula (Venus fly trap)
Dionaea muscipula the Venus fly trap is happiest with a nice juicy fly between it's fangs! These are not difficult plants to grow as long as a few rules are followed the first is that traps must not be made to close empty, which of course is the magic of these plants, but each leaf will only close a limited amount of time and then die off so making it close without that juicy fly is basically starving it to death, so you must go fly hunting and feed them if you want to see them perform this trick! Keep them damp at all times , wetter in the summer and in full sun, if you live in a hard water area use rain water. If you don't want seed ,don't let them flower as it will weaken the plant.
Plants are supplied in a 9cm pot
Nepenthes compost
Nepenthes compost - Nepenthes like a slightly more open medium than other carnivorous plants . This is the what you need !
sold in a 3ltr bag.
Sarracenia Purpurea
The hardiest Sarracenia, growing along the east coast of North America and into Canada, it keeps it’s pitchers in winter, with a new crop joining them in the spring. This plant even eats slugs! Small ones, but a large slug will eat it so it works both ways, but at least the plants are fighting back. Supplied in a 1ltr pot.
Sarracenia ‘ Jedi’
Sarracenia 'Jedi' has dark red pitchers that curve smoothly at the top to give it a neat tidy shape . As with all Sarracenias it likes a wet , acid, low nutrient medium to grow in. Full sun will be the perfect place for this chap , too much shade would make him weak and leggy. No need to feed him he'll catch all his own grub, if you keep him on a windowsill he'll keep your kitchen fly free!
Plants are supplied in a 1ltr pot and will be cut back during the winter.
