First time Curious Plant customer here. I ordered 2 different types of utricularia plants. They arrived in 2 days since i spent extra on the recommended faster shipping. The plants were well packaged with the separate soil mix and heat pack that i also ordered, as suggested by the store for viability and a refund if needed. The plants arrived in excellent condition. They are bright green and beautiful even without any active flowering. Though the overall cost was more than i would normally spend on this size of plant, I think they were worth every penny. Would definitely order from Curious Plant again because I know im getting quality plants and an easy, straight forward shopping experience.

Thank you for the healthy plug of Blanchetii! Usually when buying small terrestrial Utrics, you will unwrap a clod of dirt with a barely noticeable specks of green hiding in there somewhere. It arrived wrapped in the cutest cone nursery pot material and had a thick tuft of green on top the size of a cotton ball. It is all repotted and shows no stress.
