    Great plant! Arrived in excellent condition. Nice size, packaged very well, has transitioned to its new home wonderfully. Sarracenia Northwest is all-ways top notch high quality plants, service and knowledge.

    Beautiful butterwort

    Posted by Tracy Schilling on October 11, 2015

    Excellent packing, as usual, it looked like I had brought it home straight from the nursery instead of the post office! Big, healthy plant with beautiful copper tinted leaves. I can not wait for it to flower!

    Small but pretty

    A beautiful plant! It is a beautiful pink, and has long, beautiful leaves. It was much smaller than I expected, and not as vigorous as some plants (maybe that's because it's growing next to Drosera adelae and D. spatulata) but still a nice plant. It even had offsets!

    It was a little smaller than I expected, but it has been quickly growing. I also got a bonus second plant in the pot too. Thanks!

    No shock, and seems ready to send up a bloom spike soon. Cannot think of any negatives.

    Easy to grow, easy to propagate

    Posted by Unknown on November 20, 2014

    My Aphrodite arrived in fine shape, with a second smaller plant growing directly beside the larger main plant. I gently removed a few leaves that were ready to go, and was rewarded with new growth on the leaf cuttings in a few weeks - nice! The Aphrodite arrived with a nice purplish tint to its leaves, but although it seems to be growing well the newer leaves are much greener. I have to assume the short days this time of the year in Indiana are close to its minimum light needs, even if it is in a nicely exposed south window. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to try out butterworts - SNW's care guide DVD even says this one can grow continuously without dormancy quite well, if that's what you're into.
