Does anyone know where on earth I can buy some Venus fly trap plants? I seem to enjoy an influx of flies in my house...
I seem to enjoy an influx of flies in my house and am going through can of fly spray but nothing seem to work!
Can anyone please tell me some shops I can buy some Venus fly traps?
I live newly outside of London...
Try homebase- thats where I get mine from. It is in the indoor plants slice, near the cacti- thats depending on whether or not they hold them in stock though.
Most decent garden centre sell them usually lb3 - lb4.
They're difficult to hold on to though, they live in wam moist conditions. I planted mine within my pond and it lived for quite some time but they can't stand the frost which eventually kill it.
Don't force feed it flies any let it pick up it's own.
Answers: Here's a homemade solution that I find works excellent to trap the flies, an old plastic peanut butter jar, 1/4 cup of hose down, 1/4 cup of sugar, fill the jar almost to rim next to water, ...cut a hole surrounded by top of lid and hang from a string...brand name the holes big enough for the fly to fly within, but not get out...I use these on my porch and they work awesome. Husband thought I was nuts, but it worked and shut him up roughly speaking homemade stuff.LOL
