It’s worse… These are Cyber Plants!
After they escape the lab and force upgrade all of plants, we will be plant food!!

Many years ago — on a whim — I acquired a Venus Flytrap from a local nursery. Those suckers are difficult for laypersons to maintain; mine didn’t last long. They need low light and humidity. A grow-light in a once/day shower-humidified (on for ~ 10 minutes) bathroom did not help as far as extending the plant’s life beyond a few weeks.

I hear ya. I am usually pretty good at taking care of plants, but I failed miserably to keep one that I had alive. It wasn’t until later that I learned how difficult it is for them to thrive outside of their native habitat.

I was watching the video of a guy that makes habitats for various plants and creatures. He really took a lot of time and care for the flytrap habitat including being very specific in the selection of… [bla bla bla] they all died.

Yes the follow up video was a sad one. But hopefully it will dissuade some people from spending money to slow kill these cool plants.
