Great Starter Terrarium, Healthy Plants

I always wanted a terrarium filled with carnivorous plants, and I’m glad that "Carnivorous Plant Nursery" offers a starter set with plants that do well in that environment. Everything was shipped really well, and I was impressed. The Pitcher Plant and the Sundew are both a good size and are doing well in my terrarium. The only thing I didn’t like was the Terrestrial Bladderwort; it came in very compact dirt, and the packaging caused the small leaves to be squashed. After a few weeks in my terrarium, I haven’t seen new growth yet, but they don’t look dead. I reached out, and they told me the plants need more time to settle in and for the roots to grow, and then I should see new growth. Aside from that, I’m happy with my purchase and would buy it again. I attached a photo with the plants included, excuse the lighting.

Beautiful plants!

I ordered a terrarium starter set and a few other plants as a birthday gift for my daughter. We live out in the country and our deliveries are usually late to arrive. My package, as usual, got delayed for several days and I worried about the condition of the plants. I contacted the owner and he replied quickly that they are packaged to survive for quite a while and to let him know if there was a problem when I got them. They were very healthy looking and no worse for the wear! Highly satisfied and my daughter liked her gift!

Not as much soil as I thought was included. You'll likely need to buy more soil for your terrarium.

not great

I cared for my plants exactly as instructed, used the soil, used distilled water, and 1 died after a week and the other ones are not doing well. The soil wasn't enough so I had to mix in some wood chips. What a waste of my money.

Healthy plants, not enough soil/incorrect description

Planted the starter set in a 6-in rose bowl as suggested with a false bottom made of lava rock to act as a water reservoir. All plants arrive looking quite healthy and very well packaged. The only major disappointment was (as other reviews have stated) that the amount of included soil was certainly not enough for adequate planting depth in a 6-in rose bowl despite the claims of the description . Because of this I had to buy additional components to make my own substrate, given that I ended up having to do this anyways you're really better off just buying the individual plants ( 1x Nepenthes sp., 1x Drosera spatulata, 1x Urticulara subulata) and making your own substrate versus this starter kit since you're going to have to make your own substrate anyways.
