Plant arrived in great shape, in a small clump of 2-3 plants. The plants have since adapted well to my space and are sending out beautiful new shoots.
This plant is doing great I love the long leaves
This drosera multifida extrema was very beautiful when received - and was relatively healthy - but she did not grow as easily as my Big Pink sundew. She did grow somewhat, and while I followed care instructions, eventually she didn't make it (user error I'm sure, but can't pinpoint the root cause). *** RESPONSE BY SARRACENIA NORTHWEST *** I'm sorry to hear about the sundew! Yes, Big Pink is relatively easy because it doesn't require as intense lighting as D. multifida, which requires almost full sun conditions. A south window with lots of unobstructed sunlight is best for this plant. As always, we're here to help you out as much as we can.

Superior robust specimen, properly potted, therefore NO transplant shock upon arrival. New leaves are triple the height of original with many bifurcations. Magnificent!
Always top notch plants, packaging, and service. My goto source for carniverous plants.
I received a sundew that was really healthy and red in color. I posted photos of it on Facebook and received many compliments and I referred them to Sarracenia Northwest.
