FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Got my order from this supplier today and to be short, I won't be ordering from them again. I placed my order with them the same time I placed a order with the guys here at VFTcare. This retailer is in MD which is 1 state from me and they charged me double shipping that VFTcare did and actually shipped the very same method and size box. I received their order a day after the VFTcare's order arrived. So for the exact same box and shipping method, I paid double and got it a day after VFTcare's order arrived. The pictures of the plants that I got and planted from VFTcare can be found here, http://www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/got-m ... 10717.html. These plants from CPN are so small that I can't tell if they are what I ordered or just 2 typicals. Mind you, these werent cheap, 12 bucks each. In all my pictures, i used the same red, plastic cap from a 2-liter bottle of soda.Sighs...

The following are pictures of the 2 plants I got from CPN.

Fused tooth (hopefully)


paradisa (hopefully)

Haha, well they will still grow into nice plants, but that's why ordering from FTS is such a great idea! Anyways, the Fused tooth "(Hopefully)" is a nice clone and will look nice once it grows out

Cograts on your new plants, even if they are tiny!
Remember FTS is Bes...t

Yeah I got plants from the same seller CPN I thought they were going to be way better then I ended up with. The price was crazy they got high reviews other then price. Some of the plants I got seemed weird like they had rot on the outer layer with the outside traps already dead before they sent even them. I think the plants I got from them might not of been in growing media just setting and waiting for shipping. And shipping cost a ton and it's very slow never again for me.

They used to be a lot better years ago. They were always expensive and the shipping costs were definately a ripoff. But at least they sent nice large plants. I bought two B52's from them a few months ago and they were so tiny that I almost requested a refund. They recently sent me a free Fang VFT completely out of the blue which completely surprised me. Even after that my days of ordering from Carnivorous Plant Nursery are definately over.

What size plant did you order?

I ordered medium sized B52's. But they were tiny and in bad condition. I was extremely disapointed to say the least.

I was asking the OP. Those look like pretty run-of-the-mill for what CPN sends when you order a "small" sized plant. Never bothered me.

I ordered small. In a series of emails with the owner, he stated they were 3 years old. I found that hard to believe and with the outrageous shipping charge, I have asked for half a refund. I think that's reasonable considering the size of the plants. If I had known that's the size of the plants I was going to receive, there's no way I would have paid that price for them.

I live in MD, so have been tempted to order from this place.
Glad I read these posts first !

I happen to like CPN. I know the guy who owns it so I get pretty good deals. I am fixing to order the following plants from them:

1 VFT Dente-small
1 VFT Red Dragon-small
1 S. flava-medium
1 S. leucophylla-small
1 Heliamphora minor-small
1 D. binata-small
2 P. moranensis-small
1 U. gibba-small
1 G. lobata x violacea-small

I went with a "Customer Special Request", so I only have to pay $80.95 for it all.....
That does include shipping.....
