Venus Fly Trap, Grow Your Own Venus Flytrap in a 100% Self Sustaining Glass Terrarium, Maintenance Free, Easy to Grow, Healthy Growth Guarantee

Edit: Promptly after posting this review I was contacted by the seller and sent a replacement immediately. I absolutely LOVE my replacement Venus Fly Trap. Although my initial review was extremely negative, the sellers customer service and willingness to help solve the problem is worthy of my recanting everything I said before. I would just warn anyone looking to buy this, to completely follow the sellers instructions that are included in the package. I do have to say I was a bit upset when I wrote the previous review but after receiving my new Venus fly trap, I completely vouch for this product. It’s the perfect way to keep a plant alive if you don’t have a green thumb. Never open the cork because it will be contaminated and mold WILL grow. I also recommend keeping the heat seal on it as well for added protection. The seller seems to always be willing to work with you so if something does go wrong, I recommend contacting them before posting a review or if you posted a review, making sure to update it cos these guys really do deserve five stars. They go out of their way to immediately offer you a new product or a refund. The least I felt I could do was update this review. Old Review: I was so excited about this only to be extremely disappointed. I really wanted to LOVE this but I'm so let down. The gel medium isn't even gel at this point and the liquid is covering the entire plant. The roots aren't even submerged in the liquid, it's practically upside down. I don't know what to even do at this point cos it seems too young for me to take it out of the jar and plant it. And that's not the reason I bought it in the first place, I finally wanted to have a Venus that would survive and this seemed like the best way and to also have a cute and quirky decoration. I don't know if I could recommend this to anyone because what I expected isn't what I received at all. This isnt a good product at all.

I got my tiny fly trap in March, and stuck it up in the windowsill of my kitchen. I was blown away when I saw how much it had grown in such a short amount of time! I have done nothing but put the little guy in my windowsill. Such a great purchase! Hardy little plant that has everything it needs to thrive right in that jar! The size is incredible as well. The entire jar is about as long as my finger! It's really a cute little plant and would make an incredible gift. Update: it's been almost 6 months since I bought this plant, & I'm still ecstatic about this purchase! The plant grew so much that I had to remove it from the bottle, and it had a ton of babies! I now have an entire collection of venus fly traps just from this one plant. I like it so much I just had another one delivered today, and ordered a 3rd that's on the way. This purchase has turned into a hobby for me, & the plant I received today is equally as nice as the first one I bought. I will continue to purchase from Orchid Gene! The second photo is a few of the babies I have now. I've got 8 total, & it all started from that tiny plant in a bottle! :)

Gel and plant turned completely black after growing well for two months. No change in location or temperature to cause distress. I did not open or disturb the cork in any way. Cute while it lasted.

This is pretty neat. Except the humidity fog the glass but the first week we watched it kind of unfurl. I like it a lot, thank you 😁

Product came in perfect condition, very healthy, grows very fast

I've done my best to wait for the full cycle to be completed prior to leaving my review. I ordered two of these particular domes along with a nepenthe, and two sundews. This review is for the Venus Flytrap products in particular. Primary Issue: Venus Flytraps have very distinct behaviors -- one of which is that when a VFT will often bury itself deeper within its environment if under certain conditions. One of the domes was breached, two of the traps I was sent ended up burying themselves deeper into the gel solution, which appears to be a major flaw in the design for these. While the seller was great about replacing them without any hassle, these VTF domes seem to have ~30% failure rates. Note: The attached picture shows what I'm describing. The first time it happened I thought it was a fluke and the seller replaced it no problem, then it happened two more times. Once they grow to this size is where the real problem comes in. The transplant guides on Bloomify show someone yanking clusters out aggressively with a pair of tweezers and saying 'plant the ones that still have roots.' The problem is that the biogel they're using once the dome is breached molds within 72 hours. If any of the gel is left on any of the plant, the substance can and will mold -- resulting in the plant dying. The picture I've included separated into 5 different clusters, and about 15 smaller clippings. The gel itself is very difficult to get off -- I've transplanted three of the VTF domes in an attempt to save them after this happened -- Two of the failed domes survived completely, but after an invasive recovery operations, I was able to save both of them entirely. The last transplant I did (from the picture included), 3/5 of the clusters made it past five days, the other two died from the mold+biogel issue. From the clippings, 3/15 have begun growing additional clusters. All in all the project was successful, I've netted about 9 new traps and two of the entire clusters are continuing to expand after transplant. The overall price tag was ~$30. These products absolutely work, but they need additional documentation, video, instruction, and examples of what to do and not to do if you're going to be successful with them after 30 days. If you're planning on buying one as a gift, set the expectation that it's eye candy for 1-2 months, and that the actual transplanting is *NOT* for the faint of heart.

Very cute just waiting to see the growth.

This little plant brings serious JOY to my every day!! I got it to put in a gift exchange for Christmas but I love my AUDREY plant so much I couldn't give her away. It is amazing to be able visually SEE her growth every day. I am convinced she loves me talking to her and that helps her grow. Worried about transplanting her bc I love her so much and do not want her to die. She is the perfect size for the price and she has ZERO maintenance. HIGHLY recommend!!

I've had it 6 months, followed all the instructions, but no growth of any kind
