See the Sticky Trap in Action

Drosera capensis develops sparkling, sticky tentacles that can hold small flying insects once the plant is established.

Three Plants. Three Trapping Styles.

A captivating grow-at-home project for plant lovers, curious kids, and anyone who wants a closer look at carnivorous botany.

Sticky

Cape Sundew forms dew-like adhesive droplets on delicate tentacles.

Snap

Venus Flytrap develops hinged traps that close when triggered.

Pitcher

Pitcher Plant grows tubular traps that lure small insects inside.

Choose Your Variety

Pick one variety at checkout. Each option contains seeds for the selected plant—not a mature plant.

Cape Sundew

Drosera capensis — the iconic sticky-leaf sundew shown in the product demonstration.

Venus Flytrap

Dionaea muscipula — famous for dramatic jaw-like snap traps.

Pitcher Plant

Sarracenia — grows upright, hollow pitchers with an ingenious trapping shape.

A Better Start for Tiny Predators

Carnivorous plants are rewarding, but they need a different routine than ordinary houseplants.

Use the Right Medium

Surface-sow in a low-nutrient carnivorous-plant medium. Do not use standard fertilized potting soil.

Choose Mineral-Free Water

Use distilled, reverse-osmosis, or clean rainwater to keep mineral buildup low.

Give Bright Light

Provide strong light appropriate for young carnivorous plants while keeping the growing medium moist.

Expect a Patient Grow

Germination and maturity take time. Some varieties may benefit from cold stratification before sowing.

Trap small flying insects such as gnats, tiny flies, and mosquitoes when they contact a suitable trap.
Catch some small crawling insects when the insect size and trap type are a match.
Create an endlessly interesting windowsill display without sprays or electronic traps.

Growers Are Watching Closely

Realistic moments inspired by the patient, hands-on experience of growing carnivorous plants from seed.

“I liked that this is just the seeds—I used my own little pots and mix. It made a fun weekend project and the packets were easy to keep separate.”

Megan R.

Three mature carnivorous plants on a windowsill

“Watching all three grow into completely different shapes has been the best part. The sundew is especially wild when morning light hits the sticky leaves.”

Jordan P.

Family carnivorous plant growing project

“My daughter and I planted these together and now she checks them before school. It’s a simple little project that turned into a real science lesson.”

Chris M.

“The Cape sundew finally started making those sparkly drops and caught a tiny gnat by itself. That moment was worth the wait.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly arrives?

You receive seeds for the variety and pack option you select. Soil, pots, growing medium, and live plants are not included. Seed count is not specified.

Which varieties can I choose?

Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis), Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), or Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia).

What should I plant the seeds in?

Use a low-nutrient medium made for carnivorous plants. Ordinary fertilized potting soil can harm them.

What kind of water should I use?

Distilled water, reverse-osmosis water, or clean rainwater is generally preferred because these plants are sensitive to mineral buildup.

When will the plants start catching insects?

Only after successful germination and enough growth to form functional traps. Timing varies by variety and growing conditions, so patience is part of the project.

Will they catch mosquitoes, flies, or crawling bugs?

Mature plants can naturally trap small flying and crawling insects when the insect size and trap type are a match. They do not guarantee complete household pest control.
