Great for the first-time grower.

Sundews & Pitcher Plants
These are my first carnivorous plant, not counting venus fly traps I got as a kid. I'm very pleased with the speed they arrived and all in great condition. Plenty of growing instructions were included. All of them are still alive and thriving (pitcher plants are planted outside and are dormant now, but healthy).

Beautiful variant of capensis
As always, my new capensis came perfectly, with a few little ones in tow. They have maintained their hue under LEDs and are doing great!

Arrived in good shape
Sadly, my cat knocked it off the table the first night. Picked it back up and it was knocked off the table again, not sure why they knock this plant off the table and not the other 3 plants.

Got caughtt in a Cold Post office holiday.
Spring fever had me buy tropical plants in the middle of winter Sarracenia packed them amazingly, snug, and warm... but they caught got in a COLD Postal holiday during shipment which severely damaged them. No questions asked Sarrcenia replaced the plants, and got them here 3000 miles away in two days! They look amazing, thank god its spring!!!

Most of the leaves didn't have dew when it first arrived but within a week it had already got a new leaf. This plant grows very fast about l new leaf per week I would recommend buying this as your first sundew!!
