Beautiful plant

The potted N. Sanguinea was packed incredibly! I wasn't disappointed in the size of the plant nor leaf structures/pitchers. It managed to impress some of my carnie loving friends too. I bought soil along with it in hopes of giving it the best possible start I could and the quality of everything has been impeccable. I'll be getting more from here in the future.

It was packaged very well and secure. I feel confident in my purchase because of how well it was secured in the box. It shows a lot of care went into this plant I hope to keep it happy!

I love my new plant, and i plan to get more later. Most people in my office have never seen one before, so they keep stopping by my office to see it. The packaging was great no issues.

Very well packed but very small plants

All four plants arrived in very well packaged condition, but I was surprised at how small they were also no doubt they had been grown in a high humidity propagation environment, and although they were placed in a terrarium and kept with relative high humidity and good bright light, both the fly trap and the Drosera Showed tissue degradation, blackening leaves etc. I hope they pull out of it?
The pinguicula and Nepenthes though very small, perhaps only 4 cm across seem to be doing better
