One of my kids Christmas presents was packed in this, and I thought it would make for a great Venus fly trap planter. Any recommendations on what to plant together? Preferably budget friendly. I will punch in some drainage holes. The planting area is 8in x 12in.
Thanks!

It doesn’t really look deep enough to me. VFTs need at least 5/6 inches deep soil or deeper.

It might not be the best for vfts but it would do just fine for Urts or Pings.

They may be referring to Utricularia and Pinguicula.

With holes drilled you could use it for seedlings including VFT and sun dews. But after a year or two it will be too shallow.
