Does anyone know where to find a venus fly trap

Answer 1

At any reputable garden centre

Answer 2

Lowes, Wal*Mart, pretty much any garden center.  You can also find them online.  Here is everything you will ever need to know about raising carnivorous plants as well as some websites with great information and places to order:

Things you need to know to get you started in the right direction.. You can keep them outside in full sun or in a terrarium, but I recommend that you not keep them in thier origional container because their roots need room to grow and there is not enough air. Also, if you are going to keep them in a terrarium then make sure you do not put the terrarium in direct sunlight. What a lot of people do not know is that carnivorous plants do best outside in the open air and in full sun. They are cold tolerant down to 20 degrees and actually need to be winterized and go into hibernation in order to do well next season. If your temps drop below 20 then you can keep them in an unheated garage or garden shed. If you keep them in a terrarium then you can force them into hibernation or dormancy and I will give you the site that explains how to do this. As for watering, carnivorous plants are bog plants and their soil needs to stay moist all the times. If you grow them in a terrarium this should not be a problem, however, if you grow them outside you will need to place them in a saucer of water and make sure you keep the saucer full at all times. As for feeding them, check out the expertvillage video I've included and it will answer all your questions.

carnivorous plant NoNos:

No meat of any kind. Meat rots and it will kill them

No force feeding or playing with the traps trying to get them to close.

No fertilizer of any kind. Pot carnivorous plants in a 50/50 mix of peat moss and perlite only.

No straight tap water. Use filtered tap, aged tap or distilled and rain (preferred)

Here are some sites that will help you with just about everything you need to know about growing carnivorous plants. Good Luck and have fun.

Answer 3

You can sometimes find them at Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, or a local hardware store. If none of those stores have them, you can find them at almost any nursery. Just call a few local nurseries near you and ask them.

However, most of the plants that you find at the local stores and nurseries will be sick and on the verge of death unless they just arrived at the store.

I have ordered some plants online and I have been very happy with the health of the plants. Specifically, flytrapshop.com has excellent plants.
