I was just wondering if they were any cultivators that beginners should avoid. By that I mean ones that grow slow, don't develop healthy traps, don't get very big, or die easily. Thnaks in advance

I agree with stitz,

However you can grow all of them, wacky just grows a bit slower.

Get a pink venus or a jaws.

I guess Cudo might be a bad choice for a beginner.

Cudo would be the only easily available flytrap that I would not recommend for a beginner. Most of the rest, including Korean Melody Shark and Wacky Traps, have been fairly easy and strong growers for me.

ok so I should stay away from cudo and wacky? When you order the 5 plant mystery box at the Fly Trap store how often do you get these cultivators?

You really don't need to worry about this Wacky grows fine and Cudo could cost over a $100.

For me, most are fine for anyone. 'Cudo' i only slightly feel it's slow growing.
