Beautiful plant, arrived well-packaged and ready for action the minute it was put into the cactus soil mix provided by Curious Plants. I will definitely be buying more carnivorious plants from CP!

I ordered the Drosera capensis ‘Triffid Rose’. It arrived in a very healthy condition and is already producing dew in its new home. This is my second order from Curious Plant. My first was a pinguicula gigantea which also arrived in great condition and is still thriving. Im very satisfied with the service and quality of curious plant. Highly recommend for your carnivorous plant needs!
