The name is Six.

I come from Antwerp, Belgium. (Europe)

A few months ago I found a new respect for life. Yesterday I bought my first plant in my entire 26 year old little life. And it's a Venus Flytrap! I'm very intrigued by the plant and will care for it as if it was my very own child.

I want to say a thanks in advance for all the wisdom on here that I will come across.


Greetings,
Six.

There she is, my Venus Flytrap. :D

I did not know they also sold them there?
I got mine in Grobbendonk at someone who has it as a hobby.
But maybe I should take a look! Because I get my turf at Leo Nagels. ^^

Welcome btw.

PS: How much did you pay?

Yes, go take a look m8. They had about 7 Venus's left I think.. I picked the most healthy looking of course :P
I paid 4,50€ for it

Thank you for the welcome! :)

Ps: They also have Nepenthes there.. I think it's the right name, not sure. The hanging flesh-eaters
