Sundew
I am delighted with how healthy the sundew is! Just in the short time I have had it it has sent out new leaves and is significantly bigger. It resides on a Sunny windowsill for the winter and I will plant it in my outdoor CA swamp in Spring. I have a picture if you are interested.

Healthy Plant
The packing with this plant, coming across the country was excellent in its survival. Came with directions on how to care for it, and because of this the plant is healthy and loves it here in Florida. Will order definitely from this company again

Happy after a month
Have had the plant for a month now, appears to still be recovering from transport. Dew production has yet to kick in but there is a bit of new growth getting ready to open. The photo I remember seeing when I made my purchase showed the spatulata with multiple leaves laying flat stemming from a single rosette; I was surprised to see mine came almost as a mound with multiple little plants. The photo seen was probably taken very close up. Sarracenia NW does indicate in the description that tends to do this. Regardless, the plant is doing well and I’m looking forward to seeing it mature. Sarracenia NW does a fantastic job with packaging and shipping any plant you purchase and have done a great job in responding to any of my questions and providing guidance.

New sun dews thriving; toddler enjoys it too.
We love our two new Drosera spatulata plants. They arrived very well-packaged and in great shape. We bought some distilled water to care for them, and they're sitting in little dishes on our kitchen windowsill. They both already have flowering stalks just over a month later! We have some random ants that have made their way in to the house, and we'll drop one or two on our sun dews frequently. Our 3-year old son now wants us to "feed the Sunnies any time we find another ant!
