The Sensory Dome Terrarium Kit
As you listen to the rustling sounds of the Cabbage Palm and stare at the intriguing patterns of the Polka Dot Plant, an invigorating scent of Eucalyptus wafts through the air. Squeeze open the fleshy leaves of Aloe to release a soothing sap to heal your skin, or taste the sweet and savory spices of flavorful Herbs.
You'll find over ten varieties of plants to stimulate your senses with this enclosed terrarium and growing kit. Using simple planting instructions, vegetation sprouts in less than a week with very minimal care. Check it out here

Carnivorous Creations: Grow Your Own Collection of Feared and Famous Meat-eating Plants!
This deluxe Carnivorous Creations kit has seeds from over 10 varieties of carnivorous plants, including the Cobra Plant, Venus Fly Trap, Pitcher Plant, Trumpet Plant and more.
You'll make your own authentic bog with the included peat planting mix, blue Swamp Rocks, three Bog Buddies and colorful decals!
This rare and unusual collection of plants will flourish for years in the specially designed terrarium with proper care and stratification.
Like all plants, carnivorous plants use the sun to produce energy through photosynthesis. However, these plants grow in peat bogs where there are no additional minerals or nutrients in the soil. Because of this, over time, carnivorous plants began to catch insects for food to get the much needed minerals and nutrients the peat around them lacked. After having acquired the skill of hunting, these carnivorous plants began to thrive.
The plants attract insects to their traps by producing a sweet odor. When small insects land on the plant, they touch tiny hairs that set off triggers and cause the trap to close making escape impossible. Each type of carnivorous plant traps their prey in a different way. Check it out here
