This is a great kit to make your very own container planting of a few different kinds of temperate carnivorous plants. These plants will enjoy being grown outdoors, in many areas and will catch tons of flies, yellow jackets, and gnats. Our kit is great if you are new to carnivorous plants, want a showpiece for your garden, or just want to get planty! And, we will ship this kit for free!

If you order this kit in the summer, it’s best to place it in full morning sun outside, where it will be protected from the afternoon sun a bit, just to reduce the shock to the plants. By the next year, they’ll be fully acclimated and will not need as much protection.

We send you a 12 x 5 inch terracotta plastic pot, XX-large water saucer, two bags of peat and perlite mix (premixed), a little long-fibered moss to the cover holes on the bottom of the pot, and a selection of temperate plants. The plants we send vary by month depending on what we have available but in general, you will receive a mix of:

Venus flytraps (Dionaea), American Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia), and temperate sundews (Drosera)

We send an assortment of plants depending on the season and what looks the best! We send you plants either potted or in plugs based on availability. We cannot customize these collections.

Daniela will walk you through building your own bog and care instructions in this video:

 

Care Instructions:

Growth Habit: Venus flytraps are low-growing bog plants native to North and South Carolina. These plants grow their traps, modified leaves, from a rhizome that spreads over time. The traps will die back frequently all year, have high leaf turnover, and many new traps will grow throughout the spring and summer. In spring, the traps grow, often low to the ground and small. In summer, they grow their best traps, taller and more prominent. As Fall comes on, the traps start to die back, growing lower to the ground and smaller, and by winter, the plant will be dormant, with many or all of the traps gone, but the rhizome remains healthy and intact throughout winter dormancy even if you cannot see any traps growing.

Sarracenia will grow tall modified leaves, pitchers, that vary greatly in size and shape by the hybrid or species of Sarracenia. Each plant grows many pitchers from the rhizome in the soil over the spring, summer and fall. These are temperate plants like Venus flytraps, growing actively in the warm sunny months of the year and dying back to the rhizome in winter. 

Drosera are found all over the world in many different forms, they have sticky leaves that catch small flying bugs. They have high leaf turnover, dying back frequently but growing lots of new leaves. Many of the temperate Drosera sent in this kit will die back to a hibernaculum in the soil in winter.

Sun: Full sun. These plants require lots of direct sun to grow and produce leaves. In many areas, they can be grown outdoors in full sun. If you live in a very hot AND very dry place like Arizona or Sacramento, for example, you will want to grow your plants in full morning sun with protection from the afternoon sun or under 30% shade cloth. It is common for several leaves to "burn" and die back when you first place your plant into the sun; your plant is acclimating to your conditions, and in most cases, new leaves will soon grow and fully acclimated. Thead can be grown indoors and on extremely sunny windowsills that receive all-day sun, but they will require a grow light in most circumstances due to the amount of light the plant needs. Grow lights should be 6-12” from the light depending on the light and a 10-12 hour day. These plants generally are not a good candidate for a terrarium as they need intense light and good airflow. Grow outdoors if possible for best results.

Water: Always keep them in a saucer with a few inches of distilled, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water. Never let them dry out, especially in the hot summer months. These are bog plants that prefer water-logged conditions unless you live somewhere both very hot AND extremely humid, like Alabama. In that case, let the water tray dry out for a day or two between refills. Always use distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater only. These plants are especially sensitive to their water quality, and giving them mineral and salt-free water is very important. In winter, when the plants are dormant, you can let them dry out a bit between rain storms, but do not let the soil get so dry that it pulls away from the edges of the pots. Be sure to supplement water as needed in between rains in winter.

Temperature and Dormancy: These are warm-temperate plants, meaning they need warm summers and chilly winters. They should be grown outdoors year-round in areas with mild winters. They thrive in temperatures ranging from 20 degrees - 90F degrees and can take a brief freeze or high-temperature spike up to 105F degrees for a short period. If nighttime temps drop below 20 but rise again during the day above 40, your plant will be fine outside.

If you live in an area with very cold winters, where nighttime temperatures drop below 20 degrees for sustained periods, you have three options for providing them with winter dormancy: the garage method, mulching in, or the fridge method. Dormancy is triggered by a combination of exposure to shorter photo-periods and cooler temperatures in the 40-60's F. While you can skip a dormancy period once or twice, in the long term, your plant will begin to do poorly and will eventually die if you skip this crucial period.

The garage method: Bring your plant indoors to a sunny windowsill in an unheated room or garage, where the nighttime temperatures will dip down to 50-60F. Keep it well watered during this period, do not let it dry out, and put it outside again when the outside nighttime temperatures increase consistently above 20F.

The mulch method: Mulch them very, very well outdoors. Pack at least four inches of mulch on top of the plants and all around the sides to prevent winds from chilling them and freezing the roots. You can also dig the pots into the ground and then mulch heavily on top.

The fridge method: remove the plants from pots, gently clean the roots of soil, wrap the roots in a bit of damp long-fibered New Zealand sphagnum moss, place the plants in a resealable bag, and put the bag into the refrigerator. Leave them in the fridge from October to February, periodically checking on them to ensure they are still moist and not growing mold or fungus. Pot them back up in February. You can vary the timing to align with your outside nighttime temperatures so that your plants can come out of dormancy when it is safe to place them back outside. You can leave them in the fridge for an extended period if you have very long winters.

Soil and Repotting: We prefer a mix of four-part fertilizer-free peat moss to one-part perlite. You can add our pre-made mix to your order here. Repot, dividing out plants and refreshing the peat and perlite, every 3 years in January or winter. 

Feeding and Fertilizer: These plants will catch plenty of food when grown outdoors. When grown indoors, they will significantly benefit from fertilizing, a foliar fertilizer, and feeding the traps. Plants grown outdoors will appreciate a foliar feed as well. Apply MaxSea fertilizer once per month to the foliage only. Dilute 1/4 teaspoon of MaxSea into one gallon of water and then apply to the leaves with a mister bottle. If you would like to feed the traps of your flytrap, it is recommended that you use live prey, as the traps usually require continued movement from their food to stimulate the complete absorption process. They will often open too soon if fed inert foods and do not absorb nutrients. We recommend live mealworms, which are available from any pet store. After digestion, Venus flytraps open back up, leaving the exoskeleton of their prey. They have liquified and absorbed the contents of the insect, but the exoskeleton remains. This does not need to be removed. Traps often die back after a big meal; new ones will grow, and the plant benefits greatly from the nutrients!

Great for Travel, Not My Daily Driver
Color: Black, Style: Mouse
The Logitech M330 Silent Wireless Mouse is perfect for work travel... small, lightweight, and easy to toss in a bag. It’s quiet and works reliably on the go. That said, it’s not something I’d want to use as my everyday mouse since it’s a bit small for extended use. Overall, a solid travel option.

Comfortable Mouse & Smooth Operation
Style: M705
I bought this Logitech M705 to replace an aging one with a touchy left click button, which was part of a wireless desktop keyboard and mouse package (MK700) that was purchased over a decade ago. So, replacing the old M705 with a new M705 was a no-brainer. After receiving the new M705, I inserted the battery and expected the new mouse to connect to the old Logitech Unifying Receiver automatically. To my surprise, the mouse didn't work, so I plugged in the new USB receiver and the mouse worked, but not the old keyboard. Perplexed, I started looking at Amazon reviews and thankfully I ran across a review from Rudy which helped solve my problem quickly. Turns out I needed to go to logiwebconnect.com to get the new mouse to work with the old unifying receiver. Once I did, I had the new mouse working in a matter of minutes. I saw a lot of negative reviews for the newer version of the M705, but the new mouse build quality is good, it's as comfortable as the old M705, and it works flawlessly for me. The buttons are responsive, the scroll wheel has detents, and there are no issues with random scrolling with the scroll button engaged. I used to work as a PC technician, and my experience is in most cases when there are issues with peripheral devices it ends up being the PC itself, and rarely the peripheral device. Overall, this a great replacement for an aging mouse, wired or wireless, or if you are considering a new mouse. If the battery life matches the original M705, which I'm certain it will, expect to get many years of operation without replacing the batteries.

One of the Best
Style: M705
I've tried other names brands over the years, but always come back to LogiTech. Logitech makes some of the best wireless mice. This recent purchase is my Third M705 mouse. The previous one lasted almost 10 years before it started acting a little quirky. It could have only needed a good cleaning, but for the price it is easier to get a new one. I also recently bought a new computer, because my 9 year old Win 7 HP physically broke at the screen hinge. The well-designed Logitech M705 mouse lasted longer than my last two computers. LOL I love the design and I'm so glad it hasn't changed over the years. The mouse is very comfortable to hold and the buttons and wheel feel like a normal part of my hand. The mouse also has (programmable) side buttons, which are thumb operated for Forward and Back for use in a browser. They can also be easily programmed for reverse operation (whichever seems more natural for the user). Or, they can be programmed for custom commands in programs, besides the standard Forward/Back in Web Browsers. The description says the batteries last up to 3 years, and they literally do, with good quality (Duracell) AA batteries. The mouse also gives an on screen notification when the batteries finally get low. The mouse uses a very small USB dongle (Receiver) to communicate between the mouse and computer. There is no need to Pair devices via Bluetooth. Simply plug in the USB Receiver and start using the mouse. It's truly Plug & Play. It's fortunate that the receiver & mouse are Plug & Play, because the the printed instructions are all but useless. The are no visual diagrams. And the instructions are printed in multiple languages using micro-fine text that is almost illegible. It's worth pointing out that the USB Receiver is hidden inside the battery compartment and is so small it is easily overlooked. It's a good design to prevent losing the receiver when using multiple computers, or taking from home to school/work. But it confused me at first, because I expected it to be a separate item in box, which I thought was missing. Overall, I highly recommend this mouse. I've bought it before and I'll buy it again. UPDATE: To MKay who is getting the 3 blank screens with images of multiple open programs. That is not a error with the Logitech mouse. On some versions of Logitech mice, there is a very small (almost unnoticeable) on the left side at the bottom. It is (by default setting) used to scroll through multiple open programs/windows when the taskbar is hidden. Microsoft Windows 11 (and probably earlier versions, too) has the feature of TaskView (a setting which can be turned off in Taskbar settings). The TaskView has a black & white icon on the Taskbar. It is a very annoying feature IMO! The small (programmable) button on the mouse is most likely activating the TaskView feature - which is exactly as the picture you provided. Don't get mad at LogiTech for an MS Windows feature. Simply turn off TaskView in Taskbar settings, or reprogram the button on the mouse to do something else - and Love your mouse again!

Everyone knows this is one of the absolute GOATS of Logitech Mice - get one before they're gone...
Style: M705
I've had many Logitech mice over the years I've really loved that were then discontinued. This is a long running mouse that pretty much ALL logitech users just love! And since it's long in the tooth, I'd recommend stocking up while you can. Here's some of the perks, but above all else, it feels so amazing! 1. It's a smallish, very light, simple mouse. I personally don't like the giant gaming mice. This has everything I need, including a scroll wheel you can click between smooth and ratcheted mode. 2. Uses 1 or 2 AA batteries - This gives it incredible battery life - many months at least. And when you do need to replace batteries, it's instant. I keep a pair in my backpack. So much more convenient than having to charge a rechargeable mouse, especially given rechargeable batteries slowly wear out. 3. Works like a dream on Macs with no drivers installed at all! 4. You can stash the wireless USB receiver dongle inside the mouse! Which is priceless. Note that nowadays, I have an Apple Silicon Mac, I have to use a tiny adapter to plug the dongle into a USB-C port. But it's still tiny and convenient. 5. For me, Logitech still hasn't made anything better. I'd love to see a mouse almost like this with a USB-C receiver, but until then, it's as close as it gets to my perfect mouse. I have tons of these all over the place.

For the price, it's a very good wireless mouse. But it's not my MX Anywhere.
Style: M705
I have two first generation MX Anywhere Mice that have countless hours and probably thousands of "miles" on each of them. Didn't know what they were about until I'd owned the first one for a few months, which eventually led to my buying a second one. That second one was "refurbished" because it was purchased some time later (from Amazon), as by then the second generation had been released and I simply liked my first gen so much I wanted another. So why did I buy the M705 Marathon Mouse? Well, the MX I've used the most over the years turned out to be the refurbished one. Why? Luck of the draw? Don't really know, but because of the constant, daily use it began giving me problems with double clicking on the left button and occasionally on the right button. That's a lot of use! I looked at buying the latest MX Anywhere mouse, but didn't like the prices and couldn't be sure if they were as well made as my originals. So, I ordered the Marathon, which appeared to be a less expensive version of the MX. Well, unfortunately it's not. Compared to most other mice, the Marathon is fine; typical good Logitech ergonomics, tracking and getting the job done. But, park it next to my MXs and use them one after the other and you "feel" the difference. As old as my MXs are, they still feel more precise, tighter and more responsive than the Marathon. They also are a better fit for my hand; the Marathon is a larger mouse which for where I use it means it doesn't "fit" my work area as well. Also, Logitech claims you can "customize" the Marathon using their software, but it was a lot of work to actually find "that" software for the Marathon and once I did it simply did not work as well as the software/MX Anywhere combo I've used for so long. What the Marathon has going for it is it's price, it's still an RF (radio frequency) and not a Bluetooth mouse (I hate Bluetooth mice, totally different response curve), and it is "Logitech." So what does all of this mean? Well, I put the Marathon to work (yeah, no more unwanted double clicking!) and parked the refurbished MX. I then checked on Mouser Electronics, found the correct replacement switches for my MX ($0.80 each), ordered them, and upon arrival I replaced the old switches. It was an easy swap on the little MX circuit board (it did require some extensive tear-down), with the result of: My old MX is back in service! And what's to become of my Marathon? Well, it's a good mouse, so it has a new home out in my shop, as it replaced my Logitech wireless mouse for my Dell laptop I use out there. By the way, that Logitech is from the late 1990's (Win 98/Win XP period)! And I don't think that one will ever wear out!
