    Arrived healthy and is adding new growth. Happily eating fungus gnats in the greenhouse.

    I ordered a couple of these and I live in Denver. USPS left them in their van overnight when it got really cold and it killed them. They were replaced immediately and the replacements that arrived looked amazing and they are growing so fast. I will definitely be doing repeat business with these guys. Thanks again!!

    The plant arrived in perfect condition. Your expertise in packaging is apparent. Then my cat decided to eat all but two of the branches. It is growing three new branches.

    Great plant, slight transport damage

    Posted by Malayna on August 9, 2020

    This was my 1st experience with carnivorous plants & buying plants online & am very happy with both experiences. I wanted something that would be a natural solution for fungus gnats & not harm my plants, my kids or my pets, before trying more harsh (and ugly) options. And it was an excuse to get more plants, win win! It came well packaged inside a plastic cup, but it was evident after several days that a couple of the stems had been damaged as they seemed to be dying. Based on the info in the box & the website I wasn't worried about it (stated it might take some days to recover and there was a 30-day guarantee). And while it did end up losing the sticky ends of the damaged stems, the plant as a whole has recovered quite nicely and made quite a dent in my gnat population judging by all the buggy bodies it's collected. I am quite happy with how little attention it needs, just fill up the water every couple of days. It's been fun for the kids too. Can't wait to get more!
