The Venus Fly Trap — Botanical Craft Kit by Plantlike

A fascinating botanical piece with all the drama of a Venus Flytrap — without the feeding, fuss, or fear of being bitten.

Once assembled, it becomes a striking botanical feature for a shelf, desk, or favourite corner of your home. No sunlight requirements, no watering, and no insects needed. Just playful botanical drama that stays beautiful for years.
