    Great Service Advice & Products

    Posted by Vinny from Brooklyn on March 20, 2020

    Very communicative and supportive of my pest questions. The suggestions worked! Also, gave a free plant due to a delayed shipping issue. Dormant plans received are waking up, and are healthy.

    Posted by Scott on August 21, 2019

    All the plants I ordered ( 1 Venus fly trap, 1 sundew and 2 pitcher plants) arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition. All plants where of nice size. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Made a "bog" in a large plastic pot. Now one month later they thriving. I will have to see how they weather the St. Louis winter in my garage. Thanks again for a great product!
