FlyTrapCare Forums

Hi! I've been ordering from PetFlyTrap for a long time, but since I moved recently and am having to have pretty much a fresh start, I have been wanting to see if there was any better platform to use. Thanks in advance!

The first place would be The Flytrap Store, sponsor of this forum.

What plants are you interested in? I realize that you said "in general", but some stores are better stocked in particular species than others.

I am particularly interested in for Sarracenia, and Sundews at the moment.

I'm really trying to get together the stuff to make a bog garden for the summer.

Welcome to the forum! Well, there's a lot of growers in this forum that sometimes have extras they want to sell at some very fair prices. You might make a post asking if anybody has the specific plants that you're looking for.

www.flytrapstore.com/store that hosts the forum is a very reputable grower and seller...they're a longtime grower, very knowledgeable and have some really nice plants.

Thanks Intheswamp! I'll be on the lookout for sales and will try out FlyTrapStore !

Plus go to the seed bank and get some free seeds there.

Definitely give The Flytrap Store a good look. They have a lot of flytraps, but I've also purchased some nice Sarracenia from them.

If you don't see what you're looking for there, try Flytrap King. It's an ironic name because he only offers two types of flytraps for sale but lots of Sarracenia, both species and hybrids. The nursery is located near Asheville, North Carolina, so it's a quick trip from there to your location.

Thanks!!

I have no idea how I didn't know about this place already, but thanks for the day trip idea. And just as I'm getting ready to build a water table, no less.

For Sarracenia I would also recommend checking with Mike Wang, though his inventory could be a little overwhelming if you're just starting out. For Drosera I know the seed bank has already been mentioned and it is absolutely a great resource, but personally I would instead second this recommendation to get some experience with adult plants before trying to grow from seed (not that there's anything wrong with attempting seeds of course, there's plenty to go around):

Blue ridge exotics is also in Asheville, NC. Thats only 60miles from me when i order plants i get them the next day in the mail no shock at all.

Well I see that what I originally put here has all ready been recommended.

So I'll point out this fellow. If you're looking for young seed grown sarracenia crosses, then try https://americanpitcherplant.com/collections/all
FYI all of the plants he sells are under growlights.

My flytraps came from Matt and Leah’s store, as others have mentioned - support them for this wonderful forum.

My Sarracenia typically were Mike Wang, Sarracenia North West, or from members on this forum.

My Nepenthes usually from Carnivero, Manny Herrera, Florae Collaborative, and Dean Cook’s Carnivores .

I’m sure I’m forgetting some, but hope that helps some.

That helps a lot! Thanks!

You left off sundews: John's Carnivorous Plants and Rainbow Carnivorous Plants. And once you know what you're doing: Insectsinside Nursery.
