Love our new Venus flytrap Package arrived as expected!

Growth resumes in spring.

venus fly traps
3 traps were well packaged and shipped quickly. The plants are part of my daughter's school science project and are doing well.

Very healthy, large traps
I was delighted to see that these traps thrived in full sun without a terrarium! I have killed several plants from other vendors from not using a terrarium. These were shipped well, didn't flower, and have much larger traps than the King Henry I ordered.

Product
We love our Venus Flytraps. All three arrived in excellent condition. About two weeks after receiving them we re-potted them with soil purchased from you. We have followed the instructions included in the shipment to the letter. We have not poked them at all. They are thriving and catching flies daily. Much to our surprise two of them are blooming. We didn't realize they would bloomed. You can count on us to order plants from you again in the future. Thanks for caring so much about what you do, it is obvious you love growing these plants.

Great plants
Very well packaged with detailed instructions on how to remove the package and initial care. Provided I can get these through the summer and winter, I plan to try a few others.

Venus Flytrap best buy!!!
My Flytrap came perfectly packaged and was in perfect condition when it arrived! I transplanted it into a pot with peet moss and perlite as directed and it is doing amazing! It is thriving and has 5 blooms on it. I was concerned at first because i have never owned a carnivorous plant but they have expert advise just follow what they say and you'll have a beautiful plant!

Everything was fine with the plant. I was surprised that it got to the school the next day. I bought it for a student's science project. He is very happy with his new friend! Thank you!

venus flytrap
I purchased 2 plants last fall. Both of those plants died. I bought 2 more and they are doing fine. RESPONSE FROM SARRACENIA NORTHWEST: Sorry to hear about your plants not making it through winter. At our nursery in Oregon, we grow them outdoors and plants from that same batch emerged from dormancy. Make sure to follow the winter care protocols outlined in our Volume 1 DVD. You can also follow us on YouTube. We show growers what they need to do throughout the year to properly care for their plants.
