I have recently become interested in carnivorous plants, especially venus flytraps. However, I am hesitant to ship a plant in and pay extra for shipping right now in the heat of the summer. One of the local nurseries in my area is selling venus flytraps, but they seem very unhealthy, only an inch tall or less with a lot of brown, dead looking traps on them. Would it be possible to revive a flytrap in this state, or should I instead take the chance on shipping one from an online dealer?
The nursery has a very healthy looking pitcher plant as well, but it is a large Nepenthes, and I have nowhere to put such a large hanging-basket plant. I have never owned a carnivorous plant before, so I want to make sure my first experience doesn't just end in a dead plant if I can avoid it...
