Venus Flytrap Terrarium

Edit: Promptly after posting this review I was contacted by the seller and sent a replacement immediately. I absolutely LOVE my replacement Venus Fly Trap. Although my initial review was extremely negative, the sellers customer service and willingness to help solve the problem is worthy of my recanting everything I said before. I would just warn anyone looking to buy this, to completely follow the sellers instructions that are included in the package. I do have to say I was a bit upset when I wrote the previous review but after receiving my new Venus fly trap, I completely vouch for this product. It’s the perfect way to keep a plant alive if you don’t have a green thumb. Never open the cork because it will be contaminated and mold WILL grow. I also recommend keeping the heat seal on it as well for added protection. The seller seems to always be willing to work with you so if something does go wrong, I recommend contacting them before posting a review or if you posted a review, making sure to update it cos these guys really do deserve five stars. They go out of their way to immediately offer you a new product or a refund. The least I felt I could do was update this review. Old Review: I was so excited about this only to be extremely disappointed. I really wanted to LOVE this but I'm so let down. The gel medium isn't even gel at this point and the liquid is covering the entire plant. The roots aren't even submerged in the liquid, it's practically upside down. I don't know what to even do at this point cos it seems too young for me to take it out of the jar and plant it. And that's not the reason I bought it in the first place, I finally wanted to have a Venus that would survive and this seemed like the best way and to also have a cute and quirky decoration. I don't know if I could recommend this to anyone because what I expected isn't what I received at all. This isnt a good product at all.

I got my tiny fly trap in March, and stuck it up in the windowsill of my kitchen. I was blown away when I saw how much it had grown in such a short amount of time! I have done nothing but put the little guy in my windowsill. Such a great purchase! Hardy little plant that has everything it needs to thrive right in that jar! The size is incredible as well. The entire jar is about as long as my finger! It's really a cute little plant and would make an incredible gift. Update: it's been almost 6 months since I bought this plant, & I'm still ecstatic about this purchase! The plant grew so much that I had to remove it from the bottle, and it had a ton of babies! I now have an entire collection of venus fly traps just from this one plant. I like it so much I just had another one delivered today, and ordered a 3rd that's on the way. This purchase has turned into a hobby for me, & the plant I received today is equally as nice as the first one I bought. I will continue to purchase from Orchid Gene! The second photo is a few of the babies I have now. I've got 8 total, & it all started from that tiny plant in a bottle! :)

I bought this for my grandson’s 8th birthday he loves plants and also catching bugs I figured it would be perfect for him. Unfortunately it looked like it was previously opened and came in a plain brown box with just the plant and nothing else no heat pad no instructions at all, just the little plastic bottle with the plant. Unfortunately he saw it so I’m unable to return it. I am very, very disappointed ……NO STARS

Cute, but I wish the bottle was bigger so I could keep them in there longer since it seems they have a low survival rate after transplantation. Mine were healthy. I still love them..

Arrived in beautiful and healthy condition. I did make one mistake when I unboxed this plant, in that I immediately and instinctively opened the cork in the bottle, which I forgot that you are not supposed to do. I reached out to the seller right away, fortunately, who told me that it should be okay so long as I put the cork back in to seal the mini terrarium back up, but they will send me another plant if I end up with mold or any other issues as a result. This plant is having some condensation I notice, so fingers crossed but either way, the seller gave me great confidence in the product and that they stand behind their plants! RECOMMEND

I've had it 6 months, followed all the instructions, but no growth of any kind
