The plant arrived in good condition. I was a little surprised at its size. I thought , since it was a " large " size plant, that it would be bigger. But I may have been over optimistic. So far, it seems to be acclimating. See the attached picture. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Here you go. Two plants in a glass vase/terrarium and the other in a bog bowl I set up today. We’re getting some good sunlight so the Sundews are unfurling and flower stems shooting up. Photos below.

Hello, I'm sending the pics. I have another question, this next week or so the nighttime temps will be in the 40's this is too cold for the carnivores to stay outside? Thanks, John G

Thanks for checking in, Michael. My VFT arrived quickly and in good condition. I followed your thorough instructions. My plant and setup is in the pics. The grow light is off for the day but it’s 200W so I have it 6” above my VFT. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Barbara

Dear Michael,



Thanks for your e-mail.  I appreciate that you’re checking to make sure that the plants and I are happy.  Rest assured that the plants got to me very quickly.  They arrived in great shape.  The sundew and the flytraps need to bounce back a little after their trip, but that’s to be expected.  All of the plants are a nice size, and I’m very happy with them.  I’ll leave reviews soon.



I’m sending a photo so you can see them.  This is only a temporary setup for them, as they are going to be planted outside with most of my other carnivorous plants.(One of the flytraps isn’t in the picture because I gave it to my grandson.)



Thanks again,

Joanie

I appreciate you helping me. I’m not trying to get a new plant or anything. I’m just wondering if this is normal and if it will start to sprout new growth, I do keep them outside. Here’s another picture with my other plants some of which I have bought from you. This picture was taken the day that it arrived.

For the most part the plants are fine.  Except for the Sundew.  The Sundew is undefined and quite scrawny in appearance.  I've attached a photo. Perhaps this is the norm, but I think not.  I would not have ordered this if I knew it would look like this.




For the most part, the rest of the plants are fine. Well, live and learn.  Perhaps it will grown and be somewhat visible without need for a magnifying glass.




Thanks, LLoyd




From Staff: That’s what a spoonleafed sundew is supposed to look like…

I’m basically into cacti and succulents, but carnivorous plants are catching up, lol! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I went to a flower show and the person selling carnivorous plants there only used some sort of a clay, small pebble like medium, for his plants. I was a little dubious about that and wanted to ask you your opinion. He also said not to leave the butterworts standing in water. Once the distilled water is absorbed, leave them for a few days cause they can get root rot. I would definitely prefer the moss!




Thanks,


Paula

Just arrived! Thank you! I have several plants here in varying stages of alive. I got some from you months ago (Amazon).  Can you tell me what to do to make them healthier? Or maybe they're dormant? I'll send photos in another email. Thanks again! -Sophi
