Description
Size and packing method: Small plants are about 1 inch in diameter and produce juvenile traps, medium size plants are about 2 inches in diameter and produce traps around 0.5 inches across. Plants are shipped bare root, carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. If selecting with soil mix, you will receive two cups of our prepackaged Carnivorous Plant Soil Mix in addition to the bare root plant. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot.

Soil: Carnivorous Plant Soil Mix, pure peat, or peat-sand mix
Feeding: Feed bugs, dried bloodworms, or fish food every 2-3 weeks, only use fertilizer if you have plenty of experience growing carnivorous plants

Seriously beautiful plant – the roots were about 6 inches long! Some traps were still open despite going through shipping. Really couldn’t be more pleased.

Received a beautiful medium, DC-XL, one trap is at least an inch long already. This is my first VFT, I’ve read tons on them and I hope I can do right by it. Thanks Curious Plant!
