Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant, carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. Plants in their carnivorous phase are about 1.5 inches across and plants in their succulent phase (bulb) are roughly 0.5 inches across. If selecting with soil mix, you will receive a little over one cup of our prepackaged Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix in addition to the bare root plant. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot.

Soil: Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix
Feeding: Feed bugs, dried bloodworms, fish food, or diluted foliar fertilizer such as Maxsea every 2-3 weeks

My shipment of plants arrived a day early and in amazing condition. The P. macrophylla came in while dormant, but the bulb is nearly half and inch across and the new leaves are becoming carnivorous. Excited to watch it grow!

I was very excited for this one, but it was gangly and losing leaves when it arrived. Hopefully it bounces back.

We’re sorry to hear this, it sounds like the plant had a rough time during shipping and we’d be happy to work with you on a replacement.
