FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

So I was online looking for CP suppliers when i found this:

They have a HUGE selection, and their prices are REALLY low. I don't want to get ripped off, so has anyone bought from these guys?

I've never ordered carnivorous plants from them, but I have ordered other plants. They sell very healthy plants, and yeah try have good prices.

They*

They sell starter plants so they will be small but healthy.

I believe that they get most of their stock from Agristarts 3 or other large tissue culture labs that sell lots and lots of plants at very low prices (like 50 cents per plant for flytraps). For this reason, and because they are a huge retailer moving a lot of stock, they can offer extremely low prices.

I've never ordered from them myself, but I believe I have seen a few people post about ordering from them and they have had good experiences.

I'm thinking of buying some plants from them, because I can just grow them out, rather than buying them already big. (and of course, they'd be more expensive then)

I've ordered Elephant Ears, Nepenthes, Sarracenia, and Dionaea from them. Like Matt says, they usually sell smaller plants that seem to be fairly fresh out of TC, so they're usually not full-sun ready. Apparently, they've got a large enough stock of King Henrys that they are now selling them at monstrous sizes: http://www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/king- ... 21583.html
I bought 10 King Henrys off of them last year; all were fresh out of TC; this year, they have all blown up and divided frequently. The Nepenthes were small and pitcherless, but they have done well for being grown by a Newbie. Some of the traps that purchased from them did not seem very healthy. I never bothered to complain, though. The Cupped Traps I bought from them sucked, but it may just be the cultivar itself that is to blame. The Elephant Ears haven't exactly lived up to their reputation; but again, the paleness of my green thumb could have been a factor as well. Also they generally ship their CPs in pots; but they are very tiny pots; like 1.5 to 2.5 inches. So you want to have some growing medium on hand when they arrive.
Overall, I recommend them for their tremendous prices; in fact, I noticed that they have a couple varieties of Pings available; I may just indulge myself again.

You can also find them on Ebay, I've greatly considered buying from them before. They seem to have very good reviews. Depending on how many items you want their shipping prices from Ebay may be cheaper then the $10 Flat rate they charge on their website.
Here I copy and pasted their Ebay shipping prices for you :]

I have bought a lot of plants from them.
They were all good. He's a decent supplier and the prices are good.
Relatively decent shipping time.
No complaints from me about them. I'm fairly picky as well I must admit.
I have ordered bananna plants elephant ears sarracenia flytraps and nepenthes. I ordered my last order in April of this year.
I haven't lost a single plant from them. They are growing like crazy and well worth the costs involved.
I didn't have any acclimation problems either. They are a bit soft but not so soft that the neps didn't pitcher within a month.
I just threw them in a bright windowsill and off they went.
The flytraps and sarracenia went directly outside and have thrived.
The king Henry plants are huge
Here's mine I got it from them in my April order so it been growing for awhile in my care

Aki Ryu from the same order
