FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

all i have to say is wow. i cant believe that my order i placed for 2 vfts (FTs crimson sawtooth, and Czech Giant) from FTS is already out for delivery and coming today. I ordered it monday afternoon! Everyone was right for the best service, and plants you have to go with the FlytrapStore!...Pics to follow

Comments like yours should be put on the homepage, it will certainly proove that the FTS is one of the best out there!

Plants arrived this afternoon in awesome shape. i took my lunch hour at work to go and get the plants from the mail. the fts crimson sawtooth is actually bigger than i thought since they are still young plants and great coloration!(my new favorite, 'red piranha' down to number 2) the czech giant is well.. giant lol it has lesser coloration than i thought it would, all traps are green (probably to do with the shipping, Matt/Steve?) but i think they should start to color up real soon, with duh duh duhhhhhh... dormancy coming up lol. sorry no pics yet, im charging the batteries to my girlfriends camera now, so probably tomorrow. Overall A++ thanks again guys!

The Czech Giant Venus Flytraps in my greenhouse in New Mexico, where your plants were shipped from, are all still young plants putting their energy into quantity rather than size of leaves. The traps are not nearly as big as they will be as the plant matures. Traps are usually more colorful when they are hungry, but the Flytraps in my greenhouse are all extremely well fed because of the huge number of flies. The Venus Flytraps in Matt's greenhouses in Oregon are often more colorful than the exact same clone in my greenhouse. Under your care and in your conditions, the same clone from Matt or me, regardless of how different they may look when you receive them, would appear more and more alike as they experience the same growing conditions.

What you received were a partially mature FTS Crimson Sawtooth (larger than most plants ordered in the "young" size), and a young but vigorous Czech Giant that will show its most fully realized characteristics under your continued good care.

Yeah this place is absolutely amazing...

They deserve every customer service award that is available to them

I honestly dont think ive ever heard such good recommendation on a store!

cool!

ur czech thing has many healthy leaves too

those pics were taken with my blackberry. i took some pics of my plants with my girls camera..finally lol.they should be in my profile picture album.. they are a lot less blurry. Yeah the Czech Giant is healthy and dividing like crazy, and so is the FTS crimson sawtooth, but the sawtooths divisons are quite small, and i dont think that they have a big enough root system to hold their own yet. i will most likely divide it up when its time to put them in the fridge for the winter months.
