Bought a drosera spatulata it arrived healthy and well protected in about two months it has doubled in size and has five flower stems ever thing I have purchased from Sarracenia has arrived in excellent condition thank you for the quality of plants and care in shipping
I really love this little Sundew. It changes every day giving me a show with its long "sprout" and jewel-like droplets. You will not be disappointed with this little gem! It was packaged with great care and planting and care instructions were solid!
The spatulata I received was beautiful red and healthy, and even had a bit of dew still on it. Unfortunately it didn't fare too well upon our recent Tennessee heat wave at 94 degrees, even with a week of outdoor acclimation. I noticed after it turned a muddled brownish color, then two babies we're popping up under the mum. I'm just hoping they can recover back to red or find a way to make them happy now so they don't die. But it was beautiful when I got it!
I've really enjoyed this so far as my first carnivorous plant. I want to keep Heliamphora eventually so I chose this as my intro to carnivores. I keep it in an open topped rimless glass aquarium with 2 inches of distilled water, like the instructions said, under a 15 watt led plant fixture. I feed it fungus gnats and fruit flies and it's been eating and growing!
The plant looked fantastic when I got it and was really well packaged. It has grown little green appendages wonderfully and quickly. It hasn’t produced few yet but I think it might be sunlight limitations from being in my dorm
Arrived healthy and is growing and happily eating fungus gnats in the greenhouse.

I bought this with another drosera (capensis) to battle fungus gnats in my seed starting project. The capensis has far outperformed this plant, although the spatula is prettier.
