FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I was at Albertsons today and was surprised they had some fly traps. The thing is, they weren't your typical lowes nothing too exciting type of trap, they were thriving! Some had gone to flower, some had large traps, some had small ones, but they were all incredibly good looking. Lacking self control I picked one up. Anyone else on here ever get good finds at stores or did I just really luck out? I just got a new rescue plant for $1 from Lowe's too, about to be thrown out. Not looking to great but I think it'll pull through.

Yep these are the the Rocket Farms plants, very vigorous and will divide and flower like crazy.

Look very healthy

I'm jealous, I have still yet to find any rocket farms plants around at any of our random box stores!

I did pluck 3 $2/ea lowes almost dead boys a couple months ago they are doing nicely now!

Depending on where you live that may be why. I believe Rocket Farms to be in Half Moon Bay, CA. It wouldn't make sense for them to ship to say, Florida as an example. I live in Southern California and I came across them for sale one time in the past 5 years looking.

yep that was my assessment on it after trying a variety of different stores to see what I find, one of the wal-mart does get fly traps from time to time but its a random they get them when they get them so just keeping an eye back there occasionally if anyone got them I think it would be them

its not like I *need* one they just seem to be a nice looking plant!

A few days ago i bought also a new venus fly trap
It was the best looking one that if ever seen in my erea
Once in a while you find a nice looking one

Where I get mine are always healthy, so far lol. Really healthy nice plants, with nice healthy moss. And pacaged really well

Were i bought it al of the fly traps, sarracenia and nepenthes were dying because they stand in the shade and al they dont give them good care they think that a fly trap is tropical plant
Al of the fly traps were green but the one i bought had still red traps in no full sun.
Thanks

Happy growing

Dave

Yea i know right
The funniest thing is if the one in side gets triggert the other one eats the other trap

Lol. That's mad ha ha, so is it growing out of other trap or a separate one grown into it lol
