Where can I buy venus flytrap seeds in store, not online?

okay so I've looked through the website for questions and everyone says walmart. to be honest walmart and department stores, even ones that have garden centres, do not know how to care for carnivorous plants, and if you buy one from there it will likely die. Also, I want SEEDS, not the flytrap plants, so please don't tell me to go to walmart or home depot to get the plant. I am cultivating FROM SEEDS. thanks.

Reply:Im in australia and we can get them down our local nursery. If wallmart sell them and they look healthy it will be ok to buy. VENUS FLYTRAP need to be planted in peatmoss and continuously be damp ( never dry out ). Thats how a lot of people loose them. If on a well lit window sill or under a patio with part shade part light it should thrive. Also grab some good fertiliser. Don't rely on the plant to catch bugs to fertilise itself.
Reply:See if there's an independently owned nursery in your area. You're much more likely to find unusual seeds and plants at a mom and pop place than one of the chains.
Reply:I work at a garden store, and we do not bring them in becuase they are so hard to germinate, and they are so expensive. When a customer came in wanting them, we would order them online anyway. So if you asked a store to order them, they'd double the price when they sell it to you. So you're better off buying online as far as price.





What you could do is see if there is a carniverous plant specialty grower in your area (they are rare and far inbetween, though), and give them a call.


If not, call a specialty garden store (not wal-mart or home depot) and see if they can order it. But I garauntee you are paying more than if you bought them online yourself.





Also, if your plant always dies, are you sure you are caring for it properly?
