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 inch across and plants in their succulent phase 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.
