Hi,




The plants have arrived and they’re just lovely, thank you! Small problem, I ordered 2 of the St Gaya and only got one.




Attached are a couple of photos of what was in the box. The plants are lovely, I’d really like to have the second St Gaya as well. Can you send it?




Thanks,


Julie

I never heard of this cultivar until I saw it on an India youtube channel, I loved it on there, it was huge, so I searched for it. I was surprised to find it on CaliforniaCarnivores, I was surprised at the $50 price, but I tried it anyways. Well, I was shocked at how small it is, can’t even tell it’s a dumpling. So I searched further, and found it on CarnivorousPlants.com too. They also offered a red and a green, I bought 2 reds and one green for about the same price as one on CaliforniaCarnivores. Well they just arrived today! I’ve included a picture. The tiny one is from CaliforniaCarnivores, the 3 huge ones are from here, CarnivorousPlants.com. Plus they give ya sphagnum moss and pots. Amazing. The picture says it all! Love these plants and this site!!!

My order was processed and shipped quickly. Surprise….I have only had this Butterwort for just under a week, and she has bloomed!! She was small rooted, which was explained in the paperwork, but naturally, I was still worried, but no need to be. CarnivorousPlants sells strong plants. Trusted the company and just moved forward. She is doing great. Not to mention a small stem came off when I was wrapping it in the sphagmoss, I placed it separate from the main plant in the moss and it too is doing great! (You will see the baby plant in the pic). Very happy with my purchases.

I ordered this this Sundew because it was different. She is struggling a bit, I am trusting the process. After all, I have only had her for a few days. It is a cool plant. Interesting things await, I am sure! Can’t wait to expand my collection with more beautiful babies.

I received my Pitcher Plant very quickly. It is stronger than I anticipated, what a bonus! Her tubes/cups held up very nicely during shipping. Can’t wait to see what is in store as she grows in my home.

I was very excited to receive this order, and it was shipped out very quickly too. I cannot express how happy I am to have found CarnivorousPlants.com as my plant supplier. My Cape Sundew arrived happy and healthy. She is thriving. Started my collection with a Spoon Sundew and VFT (they arrived in Feb., even with Chicago weather, arrived perfect in every way) Now I have 6 Carnivorous plants.

I had to know the stars on these because they were in pretty bad shape when I received them. I purchased two, one was okay but the other had three of the traps torn off the original Rhizome. It was just laying there with one tiny root. I buried the root in the moss and have been babysitting for a few days now and it seems to be coming to life! All and all I was a little disappointed with the size of these two given the price, but it was March so perhaps they just were coming out of dormancy.

I've never received plants shipped with such care. The little plants arrived in excellent condition, due in no small part to the phenomenal packing. Each little root ball (with growing medium) wrapped in a damp paper towel, wrapped in a plastic baggie, tied and taped, inside a cardboard tube, inside a mylar coated bubble wrap tube, inside a sturdy box. USPS could have probably dragged it behind their truck without these little plants sustaining any damage. Well done! I'll most definitely be a returning customer.

There's not much to say—as expected, I received three 5" net pots and enough moss to fill each of them. Although they are plastic, net pots, they feel durable and should last for a few years, and the moss is high-quality.

FYI, if you're wondering about how big of a tray to use with these pots, they do fit in 1-gallon jugs that have been thoroughly cleaned and cut down in height. They are not the prettiest drip trays, but they will work until I find better-looking ones.

I've ordered carnivorous plants from this place before, so when I was ready to add to my collection, I had no hesitation about coming back for another. I placed my order in early spring, so I was expecting a tiny plant or even a dormant rhizome. Instead, I received a plant with nicely developed ~2" trumpets, and it was very well protected from being crushed by the other materials. I potted it up right away and it's doing great. I'm looking forward to watching it grow and seeing how it develops over the coming months.

Once again I am super happy with my purchase!
