Hi there!

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post my plead for help!

I've started to grow a VFT from seed. It's about 8 weeks old (pic attached). Could anyone tell me if it looks 'normal' and how long it may take to actually take 'VFT shape' with mouths?!

Any help / advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Mike

Uuuh, they look more like sunflowers...
Whatever they are, you'll be waiting a long time for them to look like Flytraps....

They look like a certain plant that people ingest in some way to enjoy....

This is what I was thinking but it was as part of a 'grow your own venus flytrap' kit - and my colleagues looks the same! I think we were diddled!

I'm sorry to say, whoever said those were flytraps scammed you.
