    Best carnivorous plants shop ever!

    Posted by Hui on August 15, 2025

    This was my first time shopping here, and I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the plants and soil—just amazing! The packaging was perfect; not a single plant was damaged, and they arrived in excellent health. The seller thoughtfully labeled each plant and even included detailed care instructions. What touched me most was that for some plants, there was a ring of damp tissue around the pot to help keep them at a stable temperature—such incredible attention to detail! It truly made me feel that these plants were loved and well cared for before reaching me, and it makes me want to treat them just as kindly. Since my order reached a certain amount, the seller also included free plants as a gift—thank you so much! I’m officially a fan of this shop now. You are better than any other store I’ve purchased from before. Keep up the amazing work!

    Dependable Packaging

    Posted by Errol on July 28, 2025

    Since raising fly traps and sundews for 3 years, I finally bit the bullet and just welcomed my first Nepenthes to my collection the Nepenthes lowii x ventricosa My order was obviously miss-sorted during shipping and was sent to the east coast, instead of California. After 11 days in a trailer across the United States I expected the worst. I literally jumped out my seat when I opened the box to find all the plants is in decent shape. The Drosera Aliciae and Staulata looked pale but I think they will recover. The big surprise was how unscathed the Lowii looked after enduring the 11 day trip in a box. Exhibiting its vibrant dark green leaves and red pitchers! I truly believe SNW’s excellent packaging methods really helped tremendously in keeping the plants safe during their entire journey. It gives me more confidence on future orders, even with these “one offs” with the postal service, that my plants will remain safe.
