    My first plant I bought from this nursery and it's a fantastic little plant. It captivated me with its unusual teeth. At first I didn't think it would of been capable of catching insects but it does! RECOMMENDED

    Great plant

    Posted by Chris Daniels on May 5, 2014

    I purchased some dente flytraps from a couple different locations at the same time, and the ones purchased from here turned out to be the best by far. The shipping/packing was superior, and they looked a lot healthier and in better shape than the others I purchased elsewhere. I got them during their dormant period, and are now starting to flower, just a little over a month later. These are some excellent plants!

    Vigorously growing

    Posted by cpvik on March 31, 2014

    The plant shipped out according to their shipping schedule and arrived quickly. It was very carefully packed, and all the potting mix (mostly peat) was intact. Since I received the plant during the dormancy season, it grew slowly. With the arrival of spring, the plant has burst into growth! Lots of beautiful traps and tall petioles. Definitely a healthy plant and well-cared for prior to shipping. Would recommend Sarracenia Northwest without hesitation.

    Growing Fast

    Posted by Unknown on February 17, 2014

    Got the Dente and it was a little less than I expected as it only had 2 traps 1 of which was browning. However, after 2 weeks under a 65watt grow bulb ($6 at walmart) it has several new shoots that have opened and this plant is thriving! Very happy!

    Small but mighty

    Posted by Amy on January 18, 2014

    This is such a great plant. It came in perfect condition, it was so well packaged. This is a small plant, but it is an aggressive grower. Lots of new shoots are constantly coming up. Love it!

    Dente

    Posted by Carson T. on September 22, 2013

    For some reason it seems to catch more, grow more, and die LESS. It's always the survivor in a pot that succumbs to some calamity because of its lucky tendency to catch more (probably due to its teeth). You will probably receive juvenile plants in spring and have bunches of wide, vicious traps by mid August. For some reason that is beyond me it always seems the more robust flytrap; more traps, fast growth, lots of catches, not gigantic like Colorado giant, b52, or King Henry but still up to an inch long trap size. Truly a classic plant!
