    Neat growth

    Arrived in excellent health. As it grows, the newer leaves remain outstretched, like little arms. Deep red color. Just a beautiful sundew.

    Didn't miss a beat

    Arrived with dew still on the leaves. That dew mostly dried up after I unpacked it, but it came back swiftly once I put it under my T5 light fixture. I'm growing it in an office with no terrarium and it seems to be thriving. Lots of dew and the tentacles have a nice red hue. Shipping didn't slow it down at all.

    This sundew is a beast

    As small as this sundew is, I see it catching 3 or 4 insects on each leaf. It has even turned a nice red color for me.

    Beautiful! A gorgeous plant. Is thriving well in our kitchen window. And our Cape Sundew White Leaf caught a moth this morning!

    As usual my plant came in excellent condition looking much as I would suspect it would had I gone to the nursery and picked it out myself. It even had a bloom on it. I couldn't imagine ordering plants from any other place.
