I had some, one even flowered and I say again: Don't grow it. It's not really carnivorous, it's boring, it's disgustingly slimy and it smells like old underwear mixed with decaying asparagus.

I second Lloyd, but if you want to try it CCPS/SCAPI seedbank carry them, and if you still want to try them, there's a discussion somewhere on the board on their germination

check Hirt's Garden on ebay.ca. i oredered Devil Claws from him before and i had 90% germination. I left on the CAORIFERE in a shooter glass for 12 hours at night at full heat to soften the solid shell around it. It's the only thing they did for for me , they died shortly after

As Tom said there's a thread here on how to get almost 100% germination. Once they have been "hardened" after germination they are disgusting weeds. Leave them outside in lousy soil, full sun and ignore them. Really ignore them, they smell really bad and you will get slimed and have to wash it off.

Maybe, but the "devil's claws" themselves are kind of.... impressive, well... I'm gone get some seeds, then put them at the end of my backyard

The RVH at the montreal botanical gardens had 3 for sale (12$/each), i almost jumped on it until i remembered reading that it smelled. Stuck my nose to the flower, took a GOOD wiff, and I am now cured of my desire for Ibicella Lutea. Idk about slime, idk about sharp pods, but that smell was enough to deter me for good.

Lloyd is a scientist- when he says something stinks, he means it
