Quick delivery and great packaging so my plant wasn’t damaged in transit. Could have done with a guide for how to care for my plant as I’d never had a carnivorous plant before.

Loving my little monsters
New to carnivourous plants after success with a sarracenia, I ordered a VFT and two sundews. They arrived well packed to avoid damage in transit. Lovely healthy plants that are doing really well. My new passion and will purchase more next spring.

First time buying live plants online but I was not disappointed! I got 3 pots of Nepenthes, they came safely packed, with no damage, and in perfectly healthy condition. They live in a terrarium with my gecko now and present themselves beautifully. Thank you!

Great advice on site and great selection - delivery took longer than expected (Tom's Carnivores kept in touch though) but that's probably due to all the striking going on currently.
