The plants arrived packed very securely and did well in the initial planting.
My cat thinks the sundew was delicious and it’s just a stem now. I’m hoping it will sprout new growth.

The packaging for the shipment was amazing and the plants were still very happy when I planted them the day they arrived.
I will state that buying the planting soil for the plants helped with organizing the process for planting.
