Meanwhile I’m trying to keep my greenhouse under 80 until I change the pads in my swamp cooler....

Your swamp cooler reminds me to make my first highland setup. And the rajah is already in the mail...

I paid $35 for this...

I'd pay 35 for that ceph. Looks healthy with many pitchers to feed!
My most weary experience with CC was when I took a chance and ordered a dewy pine from them. Nothing went wrong, quite the opposite, but it was stressful. The plant was about 3-4 months old. They pack it with moss to keep it stable for shipping, and it looked rough when I unpacked it. It was in a tall peat pot, which was in a tall square pot, covered, taped and wrapped to hell and back. Repotting was a simple enough affair. The very next morning, there were already glints of glue drops shining on all the leaves again. I had the plant until right after seed set, just over a year.

If anyone's curious, I dug up the pics of my mail-order dewy pine from CC. Gave many seeds! Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tapatalk

I just wanna collect regias and get my highland setup perfected.

Sorry for the sideways and out of order pics. Yes, the sight of that tape caused me stress sweats. I had a good idea for taping up plants like that- use different colored tape for each layer of the packing process. By doing this and leaving us a color order, we can safely remove layers from the outside in. No pulling tape that's taped under tape, taped down by other tape lol

I tried so hard to remove layer by layer. I finally stopped and just got a box cutter and cut around the base of the cut. After that, it's just a series of cuts after.

I've done the same on many occasions. My Florida Giant sundew was at the opposite end of the scale. It arrived completely dormant, a pot of dirt. I joyously hacked away with reckless abandon hahaha. Those are always a relief, underwhelming as the unveiling of a dormant plant may be.

I have one more pic of my mail-order dewy pine I have to show, and it's my favorite. So much so that it's been blown up, framed, and hung on my wall! I present the pic with a question- Can you spot the sinister detail that gives away exactly what dewy pines are all about?? You can't not see it once you have!

So small, I love it! It should be a thrill to watch the little guy (or gal!) grow large.

I know! It is cute with his tiny pitchers- I can’t wait for those monster pitchers!

However, it cost $75 + shipping for the rajah there was some algae in there too and it definitely could have looked neater. Otherwise, the plant looks good
