Maybe they figure you'll repot, so it'll get a whole lot messier haha idk I try to be optimistic.if I buy a nepenthes that’s a tropical highlander I expect it to have live Sphagnum in the pot lol.

Rayne wrote:A reasonable expectation, I'd say. My fav thing about CC, others may disagree, is how almost all my plants I ordered from them were trojan horses of other cp's. I got nine binatas with my Florida Giant! Ordered one d. multifida extrema, got seven of em, plus an Alba cape sundew. And of course, the ubiquitous, and always welcome bladderworts. It's great!dewyray wrote:As much as I love CC, I do admit opening a $75 plant on the messy side like that would definitely not go unnoticed.

Ironically, I've bought 3..? plants from them, yet none have come with extras. I think their shipping costs would be justified only if their plants came with small extras, even if they're typical sundews/utrics.Just buy from sarracenia northwest in all honesty. They sell quality plants but their pretty expensive on everything. I like buying on eBay as well sometimes.
Additionally, I thought the shipping cost was fine because their plants came potted and ready to go, but that was only because I didn't have soil to make my own mixes. Now that I do, I only get plants from them hoping to get extras. If other vendors gave the occasional extras, even if small, bare-root, I think I'd opt for getting plants from them instead

I love getting sundews from them and flytraps but I don’t like the nepenthes they offer. Their sarracenia are good but seem small for the price.Rayne wrote:But do they often come with extras?
