FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

An 'Akai Ryu', 'red burgundy', 'royal red', or 'jaws'? I only have 1 VFT right now so I'd have to just buy it. Alternatively, if anyone has seeds, I'd be interested in trying that too. I think I may have found a new hobby. Thanks,

Dave

Seeds are mostly not for begginers its better to pick a mature plant oh and the seeds from any kind of plant will not look like their parents they will still have some genetics though hope this helps

also this plant exist is through cuttings and all that stuff

I have a ton of Red flytraps on my grow rack right now. Several of them are large enough that they're ready for new homes. If you'd like, I could add one to the store so you could purchase it. Would you prefer to get it potted or bare root?

Matt PLEASE!!!! I need a red flytrap!! Please add some to the store!! I ordered an Akai Ryu from somewhere else but from what i heard, some people have had problems with them. What kind do you have?

well, potted would be better for the plant, right? If that's the case I'll do that. And I'm curious--if you self-pollinate or mate identical strains, why would the progeny be different?

They're all unique seed-raised plants.

Nah, it won't matter in this case because I have to uproot the plant to get it out of the pot it's in right now because it shares a pot with three other plants.

Yes, you can self-pollinate a red flytrap and end up with green babies. Self-pollinating a flytrap doesn't produce babies that are identical to parent plant.

OK, your guys' wish is my command I'll add a couple of bare-root red flytraps to the store. If you prefer a potted one, let me know.

great, thanks!

THANKS!!!!! Would potted and bare-root be priced differently??

You're very welcome!

Yes, there is a price difference between the potted and bare-root options. Because of the added cost of the pot and the amount of time and extra materials required to package it properly, the potted option is $3.50 more than the bare root option and the shipping is quite a bit higher as well due to the extra weight of the soil.

If you'd prefer a potted one, I could do a quick check of my inventory. I think I have a red potted flytrap sitting somewhere in along with all of the TC babies.

Well, whatever is easiest for you. I have supplies for potting it myself so that might be fine.

Anyone else with a red variety? Im looking for something too. This is my first VFT.

I believe there are some in the FlyTrapStore here. Also, I will have some from seed in a couple of months. They will be tiny seedlings.

I have three of them potted and sitting on my grow rack. If you're interested, I could add them to the stock in the store.
