Planting and Care Instructions  

-Place your decal on your terrarium base.
-Place the germination disk inside the base of the dome and slowly add 1 cup of water directly on the disk. Use a spoon to spread the mixture that will immediately start growing.
-Use the spoon to aerate and evenly space soil across the dome and press smooth. You can add up to another ¼ cup of water if you need to.
-Spread your seeds on top of the germination mixture at least ½ inch apart. Cover seeds with gravel and press down 1/8 inch into the soil.
-Aloes need a blanket of gravel or they will flip their tap root out into the air and not be able to drink when they sprout. It is silly, but true!
-Place your stake and Blue Jasper stone in your Aloe garden. Put the lid on the base, lining up the tabs and viewing window with the decal.
-Place planted terrarium in bright indirect light, where it will not easily be knocked over. Aloe can thrive in many light conditions, including full sun.
-Seeds will germinate in 4 to 8 weeks.
-Keep top on until your plants reach the top, then remove. Prune any dead foliage from plants to encourage their growth.
-You will need to water once a month or so when you remove the top. Aloe plants can tolerate long dry spells. You can tell how dry or wet they by how plump their foliage is. It is important to let the soil thoroughly dry out for a few days (at least) between waterings.
-New little Aloe plants will form around your original plant. You can let them grow or remove them and plant them on their own!

Alex ‘The Soothing’ Aloe FAQ
How long will my Aloe plants take to sprout? 
Your Aloe seeds take one to two months to sprout.

What is the process for sprouting my Aloe?
First, hydrate the soil with the amount of water recommended in the instructions. You can do this right in the base of your Micro Dome. Once hydrated, aerate your soil and then smooth out the top. Place or sprinkle your Aloe seed where you would like and cover it with 1/8” of soil. Place a thin layer of gravel on top of the area and gently press into the soil.

What is the gravel for?  
The gravel serves a very important purpose, and you must cover your seeds with gravel, as their top root often points upwards into the air when they sprout. The gravel holds the tap root in place, so the seedling can grow. It will keep your seedlings in place during watering and prevent soil compaction as well. The gravel also reduces fungal growth.

How often do I have to water my Micro Dome?
Once mature, water your Aloe sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Typically, watering every 1-2 months if your Micro Dome top is on and every 2-3 weeks if the Micro Dome top is off is sufficient.

Can I propagate my Aloe?
Yes! Aloe can be propagated from offsets. Carefully remove the offsets from the parent plant and plant them in their own section of the terrarium or another pot.

Why are my Aloe leaves turning brown?
Aloe leaves can turn brown due to overwatering, underwatering, or excessive direct sunlight. Be sure to water properly and give your Aloe adequate sunlight. You can use sharp scissors or pruners to remove dead leaves.

Carnivorous Creatures FAQ
How long will my Carnivorous plants take to sprout? 
Your Carnivorous seeds can take six weeks to three months to sprout. The Pitcher plant seeds need to be cooled for six to eight weeks before germinating them as indicated in the instructions. Please see instructions on how to do so. Once the Pitcher Plant seeds are planted after the cool period, they can take an additional eight weeks to sprout.

What is the process for sprouting carnivorous seed?
First, hydrate the soil with the amount of distilled water recommended in the instructions. You can do this right in the base of your biodome. Once hydrated, aerate your soil and then smooth out the top. Place or sprinkle your Flytrap seed where you would like and cover it with 1/8” of soil. Sprinkle the Sundew and Pitcher Plant seeds on top of the soil. (Make sure your Pitcher Plant seeds have had the cold period.) Once you have decorated your Biodome, close the biosphere by adding the clear top. Be sure the tabs are lined up. The seeds will germinate in about eight weeks. You can plant the Flytrap and Sundew first, while the Pitcher Plants are cooling if you would like.

Why do I have to use rainwater or distilled water to water my Carnivorous kit? 
Carnivorous Plants require distilled water to thrive due to their unique nutritional needs and sensitivity to minerals. The minerals found in ordinary tap water, bottled water, well water, purified and spring waters are harmful to your carnivorous plants. These minerals are typically not found in the peat bogs they naturally grow in and instead are obtained through insects they capture. Use Only Distilled water or collected rainwater.  Do not use bottled, tap, spring, well, or salt water.

How often do I have to water my Carnivorous kit?
Use Only Distilled water or collected rainwater.  Carnivorous Plants like to be kept moist, so be sure to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water with distilled water whenever the top layer of soil begins to dry out. When the Pitcher Plants that are in the refrigerator are cooling, you will want to add a cup of distilled water every three to four weeks. When you remove them from the refrigerator, saturate the soil thoroughly, (it should be very wet to the touch) and snap the lid on.

When will my Carnivorous Plants eat bugs?
Your Carnivorous plants will not need to eat flies until they are two or three years old although most plants receive their nutrients from the soil. When they are mature, you can remove the lid and thoroughly saturate soil with distilled water, then place in a cool, shady area. The plants will attract little gnats and other small bugs with a sweet scent they emit to catch insects. 

Can I feed meat to my Carnivorous Plants?
Carnivorous Plants obtain essential nutrients by capturing and digesting insects. While they can thrive on insects, meat is not recommended. Carnivorous plants are made to digest insects specifically, therefore feeding your plant meat could inhibit digestion and harm the plant.

Why are individual Flytrap leaves turning black?
It usually means your trap has died when its leaves turn black. It is normal for old traps to die and new traps to grow. A trap can only close a certain number of times before it dies, so be careful not to purposefully trigger your Flytrap to close it’s trap. A Flytraps leave’s turning black
could also indicate overwatering, most times caused by poor drainage. If you encounter a black trap, remove it from the plant and ensure your Flytrap is getting adequate sunlight and proper watering.

Why is my Flytrap dying?
If you notice your whole plant dying, it likely needs a cold period. Trim your plant down and put it in
your refrigerator for 6-8 weeks, adding a very small amount of water to your Flytrap every 3 weeks. After the cold period in the refrigerator, water your Flytrap thoroughly with distilled water and place your Seed Square in a warm, well-lit area.

Planting and Care Information:

-Place your decal on your terrarium base.
-Place the germination disk inside the base of the dome and slowly add 1 cup of DISTILLED WATER directly on the disk. USE ONLY DISTILLED WATER. This is NOT spring, mineral, or tap water. Rain water is the only possible substitute.
-Use a spoon to spread the mixture that will immediately start growing.
-Use the spoon to aerate and evenly space soil across the dome and press smooth. You can add up to another ¼ cup of water if you need to.
-The seeds are tiny. Empty the small inner pack onto the crease of a folded piece of paper. Spread your seeds on top of the germination mixture at least ½ inch apart.
-Press seeds down into the soil and slightly cover with soil.
-These seeds will take 6 weeks to 3 months to sprout, so you will need to be patient and make sure container stays moist, but not saturated. USE ONLY DISTILLED OR RAINWATER.
-Place your stake and red Jasper stone in your Fly Trap Habitat. Put the lid on the base, lining up the tabs and viewing window with the decal.
Place planted terrarium in bright indirect light, where it will not easily be knocked over.
-Seeds will germinate in 6 to 12 weeks.
-Keep top on until your plants. Insects will come in through the vents when they smell the traps.
-When plants die back, you will need to give them a cold period. Cut back and put in refrigerator for 6-8 weeks. Keep soil barely moist during that time. Then remove, saturate, and keep moist with DISTILLED WATER. They are perennials used to a light frost.
-Never feed your plants raw meat. When the traps get larger, you can feed them tiny amounts of cooked meat.

Note

Fred ‘The Ferocious’ Flytrap FAQ
How long will my Flytraps take to sprout?
Flytraps can take six weeks to three months to sprout.

Why do I have to use rainwater or distilled water to water my Flytraps? 
Flytraps require distilled water to thrive due to their unique nutritional needs and sensitivity to minerals. The minerals found in ordinary tap water, bottled water, well water, purified and spring waters are harmful to your carnivorous plants. These minerals are typically not found in the peat bogs they naturally grow in and instead are obtained through insects they capture. Use Only Distilled water or collected rainwater.  Do not use bottled, tap, spring, well, or salt water.

How often do I have to water my Flytraps?
Use Only Distilled water or collected rainwater.  Flytraps like to be kept moist, so be sure to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water with distilled water whenever the top layer of soil begins to dry out.

When will my Flytraps eat bugs?
Your Flytraps will not need to eat flies until they are two or three years old. When they are mature, you can remove the lid and thoroughly saturate soil with distilled water, then place in a cool, shady area. The plants will attract little gnats and other small bugs with a sweet scent they emit to catch insects. 

Can I feed meat to my Flytraps?
Flytraps obtain essential nutrients by capturing and digesting insects. While they can thrive on insects, meat is not recommended. Carnivorous plants are made to digest insects specifically, therefore feeding your plant meat could inhibit digestion and harm the plant.

How Long do Flytraps live?
Flytraps can live 20 years with proper care.

Why are individual Flytrap leaves turning black?
It usually means your trap has died when its leaves turn black. It is normal for old traps to die and new traps to grow. A trap can only close a certain number of times before it dies, so be careful not to purposefully trigger your Flytrap to close its trap. A Flytraps leave’s turning black could also indicate overwatering, most times caused by poor drainage. If you encounter a black trap, remove it from the plant and ensure your Flytrap is getting adequate sunlight and proper watering.

Why is my Flytrap dying?
If you notice your whole plant dying, it likely needs a cold period. Trim your plant down and put it in your refrigerator for 6-8 weeks, adding a very small amount of water to your Flytrap every 3 weeks. After the cold period in the refrigerator, water your Flytrap thoroughly with distilled water and place your Seed Square in a warm, well-lit area.

Planting and Care Instructions

-Place your unwrapped disk in the colored planter base.
-Slowly pour 1 cup of DISTILLED water directly on the disk. Use a spoon to spread the planting mixture as it blooms before your eyes. You can also use rain water to water your Fly Traps. DO NOT USE bottled, tap, spring, well, carbonated, or any other water on your Fly Traps. The minerals in it will kill them.
-Slowly pour another half cup of DISTILLED water on the remaining disk. Use the spoon in the same manner to spread the germination mixture.
-Use the spoon to aerate the mixture, and then press the medium flat and make the surface smooth.
-Sprinkle the seeds onto your growing medium as desired. Seeds are tiny, you may want to pour on to a creased piece of paper. Gently push them into and cover with the medium. Then mist the top gently with DISTILLED WATER.
-Put the top on your planted greenhouse and place it in bright, indirect light where it will not be easily knocked over.
-Seeds will germinate in 6 weeks to 3 months, so you will need to be patient.
-Keep top of container on and be sure to keep soil moist and ONLY USE DISTILLED WATER.
-When plants die back, you will need to give them a cold period. Cut back and put in refrigerator for 6-8 weeks. Keep soil barely moist during that time. Then remove and keep moist with DISTILLED WATER.
-Never feed your plants raw meat. When the traps get larger, you can feed them tiny amounts of cooked meat.

Sully The Giant Saguaro FAQ
How long will my Cacti plants take to sprout? 
Your Cacti seeds can take about one to two weeks to sprout. However, Cacti seeds often will not germinate in the Months of December and January. If planted during these months, you may not see sprouts until February. Once they have sprouted, the new cacti will focus on growing roots for the next one to two months. Consequently, there is little growth observed during this time. After this period, the new cacti will grow every time they are watered. Their height can reach an inch and a half during the first year. 

What is the process for sprouting my Cacti?
First, hydrate the soil with the amount of water recommended in the instructions. You can do this right in the base of your Micro Dome. Once hydrated, aerate your soil and then smooth out the top. Place or sprinkle your Cacti seed where you would like and cover it with 1/8” of soil.

How often do I have to water my Micro Dome?
Once sprouted, water your Cacti sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Typically, watering once every two weeks is sufficient if your terrarium top is off.  If your terrarium top is on, you will want to water your Cacti about once every two months. Cacti need more water in the Spring and Summer and less in the Fall and Winter.

How much water do I use in my Micro Dome?
Once sprouted, you will add ½ cup to 1 cup of water to your Micro Dome depending on how dry the soil is and what season it is. Cacti typically need more water in the Spring and Summer and less water in the Fall and Winter.  

Why are my Cactus’ spines turning brown?
Cactus spines can turn brown due to overwatering, underwatering, or excessive direct sunlight. Be sure to water properly and give your Cacti adequate sunlight.

Why did the color of my Cactus change?
Color change is normal in Cacti. They usually change color as per the climate, mostly in the Winter. They can turn pink/red in the winter and are usually green again by Summer.

Why is my Cactus turning pale?
Your Cactus is likely pale due to overwatering or insufficient light. Cacti need bright, indirect sunlight and minimal water. Be sure to only water your Cacti when the soil is completely dry, about once every one to two weeks if the top is off and once every two months if the top is on.

Why is my Cactus soft?
Cacti can turn soft from receiving too much water. Their roots can become waterlogged, causing decay. If you notice your Cactus becoming soft, adjust your watering schedule and increase light exposure.
