    Awesome!

    Posted by Brittany on June 28, 2025

    I ordered a couple plants from here, and they both were healthier and larger than I was expecting to get, and they were packaged very well! I have been keeping them in an IKEA cabinet, and the Drosera has a few very small and cute babies popping up out of the soil. I haven't had it long enough to flower, not sure if that was just a happy accident from their Lab inspectors while potting it up, but I will definitely be getting more plants soon, I feel bad with how many I got from the one I ordered!

    Beautiful little plant. It was very well packaged and shipped fast. It was in great shape when it arrived. Can’t say enough good things about this company.

    Wonderful!!

    I was a little scared to order these since I live in Texas and they were coming all the way from Oregon, but they were packed IMMACULATELY and my drosera arrived looking absolutely perfect despite the 5-day shipping time. It even still had dew on it when I unpacked it! Very healthy and happy little plant.

    Drosera Censis

    It arrived in good shape, and immediately recovered and started growing. It's continuing to put out more fronds. I hope it'll be able to catch house flies. Right now, house flies can land on it and are strong enough to escape, even though they can't fly afterwards because their wings are too sticky.

    Drosera Capensis

    Recently purchase two Drosera capensis (BOGO), both plants arrived in pristine condition! It’s nice that the plants come already potted, it takes the worry out of whether your doing it correctly. I can’t say enough good things about SN, I’ve ordered a number of plants from them and the quality is always the same, TOP NOTCH!! When I’m ready to purchase more SN is my “go to” nursery! Keep up the GOOD WORK!!!

    Plants are thriving

    Posted by Brittney Baley on December 24, 2023

    The packaging was perfect and the little stickies are already growing back after 2 days so they're definitely healthy little plants! One even has a little off shoot next to it. This is my second order from them and first for myself. All plants have come healthy and well packaged. I'm super excited to watch these guys grow myself ?

    Very big and growing like corn. Flowers are starting to bloom, and will collect the seeds and plant them. This is a wonderful and very pretty plant. A must for a house, Love it.
