FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I give them a 6/10. Took 3 weeks to get my order. Overcharged for shipping. Live sphagnum was half dead and full of sticks, grass and leaves. Couple plants in very bad shape. Out of the 8 plants I ordered one might be mature eventhough they say they only ship mature plants on their site. Very poor packaging...just wrapped in a paper towel and put in a baggie. Probably wont order from them again. Going to spend most of the growing season trying to nurse everything back to health...kind of like Lowes . They were nice though .

Not sure if this area is for bad reviews but this is just my experience with them. If this is inappropriate admin should remove.

i just ordered from them lets see what happens. did u at least donate to get everything 50% off
what did u order?

yes, I did the donation option. I bought cephs, LFS, cranberry plant, purpureas and maybe a few VFTs.

and your plants came jacked up? how much for shipping? how did the ceph look

Sarracenia alata "Purple helmet" (mature plant)
Utricularia livida
Utricularia tricolor
Dionaea muscipula
Drosera rotundifolia
Calopogon tuberosus
Sarracenia alabamensis ssp. wherryi x Sarracenia alata (mature plant)
its quite alot and i hope i get good stuff bro.

The cephs were in bad shape and the purps werent mature but the other plants were good. My biggest ceph actually came from them and its a very fast growing clone. Cranberry plant grows like crazy. I'm sure your plants will be okay.

Thats a very nice selection of plants you ordered. Good luck!

well see im going to show everyone what i get. i know the pitchers wont look good but of dormant but i hope everything eles is nice

You can see the cephs when i first got them in my cephalotus thread and the purps are in one of my threads. I only have one purp that i would consider mature and its the big one in my greenhouse thread, it came from Wellspring. The MV purps, I have 2, are one of my medium sized purps and a smaller purp in a mini bog garden. I've posted pics of all of the plants several times.

MV mature ceph the day after i got it. This is the smaller one that finally shot out shoots and made a clump.



the bigger one a month after I got it...sorry best i could find(this is my biggest ceph now)-



I'll try and dig up pics of the purps...sure theyre around somewhere.

that ceph is not mature at all lol i cant believe that. its huge now though right lol

Gah! I can't believe that they trick people into thinking that they are buying a 'mature' ceph then only getting a tiny division/seedling! But as Dub has said, its huge right now though!

Yep, the cephs are doing great now. I'm actually quite proud of their turn around.
