This tap root is a thing of beauty. The coloring on this guy is just lovely. I’ve ordered 3 plants so far and all have been exceptional.

Arrived looking so happy and healthy! Packaged very securely and delicately. So excited to grow a VFT that came from a place of knowledge and care.

It arrived good and green with pink/red but none of the traps have the teeth like in picture. maybe will change after a bit of growing

Thank you for your review Juan. These plants seem to produce traps with more fused teeth later in the growing season, particularly on traps that are more mature.

It took him a week after I potted him for one of his traps to open! I’m so excited, he’s a plump little guy so I’m hoping his next feeding goes great!

Came in with super large traps. No fuzzy teeth yet, but the health and size were great.

Beautiful plant!

Came in with a very large rhizome and for this price I think it was an absolute steal. The plant came in healthy and had a long good and healthy root system and it had some large traps already. I like how their plants come in bareroot so I can use pots that I personally like.
