Venus Fly Trap 'Dente'
Information below is only the potential the plant has. Each listing is for one plant. The "starter plant" you are buying is one plant actively growing in a 1.5 inch deep pot and is smaller than the plant pictured.
The Dente fly trap has unique saw-like or tooth-like edges on the trap margins. It has hinged leaves with three or four sensitive hairs in the center of each lobe. When an insect touches the hairs, the hinge mechanism is triggered, and the leaves close rapidly to trap the insect.
Average mature height: Under 6 inches
Light: Full to part sun
Soil: Grows well in peat, peat/perlite, or sphagnum moss (Try ours here.) Place a tray of water underneath to keep the plant wet.
Zones: 6-10
GOOD TO KNOW
Damaged leaves? Venus fly traps are perennials that form bulbs. Sometimes in shipping, a leaf or two will die back. Leaves turn black when they die back, but the bulb is still healthy.

WE GUARANTEE LIVE DELIVERY.
We have sent thousands of plants safely to their destinations. However, please let us know if there are any problems with your order by sending us and message with a picture of your plants. We will send replacement plants if damaged. Make sure to check temperatures because we do not guarantee plants shipped to cold places.
SPECIAL WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS.
Many plants go dormant in the cold/dark months and we may ship plants while they're dormant. However, the plants are still alive; they're just working on their root systems. It is normal and healthy for plants to go dormant. It helps ensure they have a long, happy and healthy life. If you receive a plant without leaves, or a pot of dirt, don't worry. Your plant is just dormant and will show new growth in the warmer spring months. If you're not sure if your plant is dormant, message us and send a picture.
CHECKOUT.
Do not leave notes or special requests on your payment as we will NOT see them. If you have questions or a request, please message us directly.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How big are the plants?
A:
They are usually shipped in 6 oz. pots. In order to give you the most value for your money we try to keep
our plants between 2.5 and 6 inches high
because they will grow rapidly to full size after you receive them. This affords you the greatest value for your money and keeps your shipping costs to a minimum. Sizes vary by variety and are usually indicated in the ad. In order to get your plants to you in a timely fashion we will in rare cases ship plants that are smaller than indicated. These plants are an exceptional value and will soon grow to the size indicated and beyond.
Q: How long will it take to receive my plants?
A: Plants.
Our goal is to ship plants within 5 – 10 days after we receive payment (or check clears.) 95% of shipments are within that time frame with over half being less than 10 days. (If your plants don’t arrive in this time period please email us if we haven’t emailed you first.
Q: How can I know when they will arrive?
A:
You will be messaged the day they are shipped. The message will contain a confirmation number with instructions for tracking and confirming at USPS.com.
Q: What if I’m not pleased?
A:
We are confident you will be pleased with your order, but sometimes we make mistakes or a package is damaged in transit. For whatever reason, if you are not pleased with your order, please message us with a photo of your plants, and we will resolve the issue.
