Best for the experienced grower.
Our plant arrived in excellent condition (very well packed) and earlier than expected. We've had it for a month now and is growing happily in this Florida summer weather, and about to bloom.
My new plant arrived in perfect condition and is absolutely beautiful! It was also much bigger than advertised, shipped lightning quick, and was packaged very safely. I read an online review of Sarracenia Northwest before I placed my first order and the person said once you buy from here, you will be spoiled for all other plant sellers and they were right. I am beyond happy with my new plant!! Thank you!!
Plant arrived in excellent condition and is doing well in my tropical growth chamber
I am the admin and creator of the Facebook group “Heliamphora United Statesâ€. I grow several hybrids of Heliamphora heterodoxa, but finding the pure species of heterodoxa is quite difficult. In the past month mine has sent out a new leaf and is doing well.
The plant arrive well packaged and in good order, with two adult pitchers and one small one just beginning to form. The plant resumed producing pitchers a few weeks after arrival. The included documentation is sufficient for an inexperienced grower to keep the plant alive.
This was my first Heliamphora. Arrived super healthy looking. It says it's a slow grower but the half developed second pitcher opened nicely and now I've got a third one that's coming up. Couldn't be happier. Will definitely be buying more from these folks!
The size of the plant exceeded my expectations. It arrived in perfect condition and It's growing beautifuly.
This plant arrived in fantastic health and out on 2 new pitchers within a month of receiving. The sun pitcher continues to do well in my warm house, I look forward to growing more from Sarracenia Northwest.
