Fred the Ferocious Fly Trap really eats bugs! Although they take some time to sprout, they are fascinating to grow. These plants originated from a small region in North Carolina and are extremely specialized plants. This entertaining kit comes with everything you need, even a collectible plant stake and genuine red jasper stone- just add water! You can ONLY USE DISTILLED WATER as the plants cannot tolerate the minerals and salts in tap or spring water. The red jasper stone represents the meat that these plants eat!
