    Root cutting, Nepenthes Black Knight

    Posted by SJones on November 7, 2024

    Have been a customer for about 4 yrs. Every plant we have purchased has arrived VERY well packed and in EXCELLENT condition. Jeff and Jacob have answered/educated me on proper care of carnivore plants via direct email and Jacob's detailed guide for beginners. In addition to the newest plant, we also trust the properly blended soils purchased. Note that all peat moss is acceptable for growing carnivorous plants. So, if a first time buyer reading through these reviews before clicking on your shopping cart, rest assured you will be delighted.
