Sarracenia x areolata

My third order and everything's been growing fine. Addie

Planted the Sarracenia and I see a new shoot starting. Should have ordered the medium size. Anyway, all is good.

This is another Sarracenia you have to have amongst your other Sarracenias.
So glad you had this one in stock.

I was attracted to this plant by its colors and my lack of experience with it. I envisioned this would not only survive, but grow rapidly. Unfortunately it has done very poorly, which, of course might be due to my abilities to maintain the plant. However, I have concluded never to buy another plant this young, this undeveloped. I have bought other plants of the same "young," undeveloped age which also have failed to thrive. I have over 10 years of experience with carnivorous plants, most of which were obtained after at least a full year of development before being purchased. I have now decided these younger plants will be avoided in the future, favoring instead those more mature plants. This plant I purchased did not survive. It is not possible to place blame for the loss. It is not regret, but experience gained.

I wish the site included a photo of what the plant looks like all trimmed down and ready to ship. I assumed the bare-root would be between 12-20 inches. Try six inches. I realize now, the measurement mentioned in the description refers to the plant height when mature. The post office decide it forgot where I lived even though they had delivered to my house for two years. Drama llama panic. Luckily, the package was received and the plant was healthy! I look forward to growing it!
