FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Last early fall a friend gave me some vft seeds and I sewed them. I thought that one of the seedlings was doing exceptionally well, until i found out it was absolutely not a vft. Now I’m wondering, a) what on earth is that big plant (its done well in vft conditions ie. no nutrients and high humidity) and b) are the little plants next to it actual vfts? I have many more of those little ones growing. Thanks everyone

No idea that the plants in the photo are, but I don't see any sign of carnivorous plants in the pots.

None are venus flytraps. Flytraps look like flytraps from the moment they sprout.

Man, that’s really lame. Thank you for the information . On the bright side, over the last 6 months of growing these imposters I’ve learned a lot about how to take care of REAL vft!

That's a good positive spin on things! Now you're ready to actually get a REAL Venus flytrap!

My plant identifier says its a Dock plant. Part of the buckwheat family.
