Well worth a try.
It is working. I don't have a lot of bugs so tried this. Using it on pitcher plant, sundew, & octopus all carniverous. They are improving and growing.

It works. Or at least the plants ate it right up.
Those Venus Flytraps ate it right up. Fun to watch. My granddaughters loved feeding them. Now I don’t know how well they work as fertilizer. I assume if managed properly it works great. I was not there to oversee that on a long term basis. Their plants were small starter plants and neither lived. But I think they might have if there was more adult supervision. They were pretty adamant about doing it themselves since it was so much fun to watch.

Seems to be working
This has been working for my venus fly traps and pitcher pot plants. Once the fly trap closes on it you have to rub the trap with gentle pressure to simulate a bug struggling, otherwise the trap will open back up.(look up a youtube video) My plant fully digested a few of these. Lately though it has not been fully digesting them. I think it may because they are in dormancy(its winter time and cold) but im not certain. My plants are indoor under a grow light. The food completely disappeared while in my pitcher pots too.

Seems like it works! No bugs in Alaska in January!
This item was taken and dissolved by my Venus fly trap and completely gone when the trap reopened. Soon after the plant bloomed.

Killing my plant.
It kills my plants. I don't know why. I'll feed one cube and the leave would bent and then dry or it just won't open anymore. I don't understand if that's a normal thing for the leaf to die after one cube or is this thing just killing my plant?

Okay for flytraps, AVOID for pitcher plants!
Works pretty well for feeding my flytrap - they are able to digest the food in about a day. They do leave an unsightly residue behind. However I would recommend NOT using this for pitchers plants such as nepenthes. I fed two large pitchers and the food ended up getting moldy and the pitchers are now dying back. Next time I will get mealworms or another option to feed my carnivorous plants.

It says for Venus fly trap food. It made my traps turn brown. When I told the company this. They said it isn't for all carnivorous plants, and as I had opened it and used it I can't have a refund. Do not buy this product.

Arrived opened and appears used. Gave the plant its first feeding today so don’t know how effective it is yet.
