My grandson loved it. He remarked that it was larger than he expected and the color was beautiful. Will order again from you.

Really nice plant. I was actually very impressed by how long his roots are! So far he’s doing well and producing dew; hopefully I’ll be able to keep him happy.
He arrived in perfect shape and in very good time.

The plant was in great condition when I received it, and I planted it up in a basic sand and peat mix but it quickly dried out and the leaves are browning at the tips. Growth point is producing new leaves slowly but I was alarmed by the rest of the leaves …how they are reacting. Growing under lights in a tray with distilled water.

Thank you for your review, we’re glad the plant showed up healthy but are sorry to hear it is struggling now. Please be sure to follow our acclimation instructions to prevent leaf browning: https://curiousplant.com/carnivorous-plant-acclimation/. This process is important for sundews shipped bare root as they reestablish themselves and get used to any changes in growing conditions.

This is so beautiful by itself. The roots are super long.

Cute plant, very colorful. Nor much dew, but that is from shipping and transplant shock. New leaves are starting to grow and looking forward to seeing full leaves dew covered.
