Grow Your Own Carnivorous Plants Growing Kit
Grow a trio of carnivorous plants with this children's growing kit. Carnivorous plants use various means of trapping and then digesting unfortunate insects - gruesome but fascinating! Grow:
- Venus Fly Traps - use hinged leaves to snap shut and imprison flies
- Trumpet Pitcher plants - lure flies into their long trumpets where they fall into a liquid in the bottom of the trumpet and are digested
- Sundews - attract small insects to their leaves with glistening droplets of sticky glue. Insects get trapped and digested!
Kit contains - three packets of seed; three plant pots with lids; specialist carnivorous plant compost; three plant markers; full growing instructions.
Carnivorous plants need a little more care than the average houseplant, particularly when it comes to watering. They are found in wet, boggy habitats, so they need to be kept wet all the time with rain water.
