Know before you buy
The 'FTS Flaming Lips' is a specific cultivar bred for its unique aesthetic, characterized by distinct coloration along the margins of its traps. It offers a more specialized look compared to the common wild-type Venus Flytrap.
Yes, the plant is shipped established and already potted. You can place it directly in your growing space upon arrival without needing to repot it immediately.
This cultivar requires significant light to maintain its vibrant color and healthy growth. It should be placed in a location that receives several hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight daily.
While Venus Flytraps are carnivorous and benefit from insects, they do not require manual feeding to survive. If kept outdoors, they will naturally catch their own prey, but indoor plants can occasionally be fed small, live insects if desired.
Venus Flytraps are sensitive to minerals found in tap water. It is best to use distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water to keep the soil consistently moist.
