Venus fly trap is gorgeous!

After a disappointing experience with another Venus flytrap seller, I discovered Little Shop of Horrors.

The price of the VFT was very reasonable. It's clear that the team grow and ships their plants with care. I wish I could share a photo of the VFT plant and its packaging here - I was so impressed!

Thanks so much. :)

Fabulous plants

I ordered the little trough of horrors, so far the pitcher plant is my favourite but the sundew is catching loads of those little fruit flies for me. So many people have commented on how good the trough looks. Now all I have to do is keep them alive 😬

Excellent delivery time

Excellent delivery time and loads of information on the plants. I purchased the trough of terror as a way of naturally keeping midges down in the summer hopefully this works.
