Hah, cool!

Congratulations!

I just want to say that some parts doesn't say how much soil comes in a bag.

It was funny how the silica sand was so expensive and I thought you purposely overpriced it. But then I was like... Right....... The shipping. Silica sand is really heavy... Ahaha...

Also I don't understand the chart for plant sizes, if it's in inches, which part of the plant measures?

Congratulations Matt. I think it will be big.

Any plants to offer Ventrata in the future?

I'm not sure I understand. You choose the size you want, either a quart or gallon sized bag.

The shipping is included in the price of the silica sand too, where it's not for the other media. That's why it appears so much more expensive.

I'm not sure what you don't understand. The part of the plant being measured is stated in the sizing chart. Sizing chart is here:
http://www.flytrapcare.com/store/sizing-chart
for Venus fly traps, it's the diameter of the plant (i.e. Small = Around 2 inch diameter). For Sarracenia, it's the height of the pitchers (i.e. Small = Pitchers around 3 to 4 inches tall).

Nice job Matt. Good luck with this store, and I hope you get lots of sales.

Are you planing on adding any different types of VFT cultivars?
How far off in the future if you are?
Also was there someone else you were working with to add plants to the store? I seem to remember seeing somthing about someone in a recent post.
Just another idea you could say how many plants you have left instead of just (In stock) (Out of stock)

Did you change the forum format? It's being weird on my browser at least... I don't like it. It's like everything is bigger and when i scroll stuff blurs together and the text messes up and overlaps itself. Maybe it's just me?

PS I read through the store's pages and couldn't find anymore typos. I'll let you know if I do.

Yes, I actually have quite a few entered into the database already, but I haven't made them visible on the site yet. I've thought about making them visible so that people get get on the notification list. I'll probably make them visible in a couple of months when I have a better idea of which and how many of each plant I'll have available in the future. I should have many more cultivars available in the spring time.

Yes, Jason and I are still trading cultures, but he's going to run his own store.

Good idea. I'll look into doing that.

No, I didn't change anything on the forum. That's a weird problem that you're seeing. Sometimes when my cats walk on my keyboard I'm surprised with oddities like that

Thanks again for proofreading the store. I appreciate it. I'm happy to hear that you haven't found any more.

Oops, isn't diameter the same as width? If it is, I don't get how you measure the plant.

Ahaha I never knew your cat walks on the keyboard!

From the farthest trap on the left across the middle to the farthest trap on the right. Google search = "Diameter"

Oh, okay. Thanks for the information.

Congrats Matt!
