    GREAT!!!

    Posted by Ligia on November 16, 2015

    The plant arrived in great shape, survived a very long trip to Europe ( took it better than I did ) and is currently thriving outside...eating flies like there is no tomorrow. Doesn't need a lot of care just a sunny spot and rain water. I am very happy with my purchase!

    Survived being ripped apart by a puppy!

    Posted by Hydrosimian on September 20, 2015

    My flytraps showed up in good conditions, there were a few rossettes of traps, however my dog ate them soon after they arrived. I plan to get more after setting up a puppy proof growing station. Edit: I left the remains of the plant in the pot inside a container with some water after collecting what my dog ate, and it grew back! I now have three small healthy plants only two months or so after I thought it'd been killed! I'm very impressed at how hardy this plant is and happy that my dente survived. I love the teeth of this cultivar.

    Was happy to see my plant arrive healthy. Even though I missed the delivery and had to receive it a few days late, my plant was still moist and alive.
