It has been several weeks and the plant is healthy. The package arrived faster than any other sellers I've used for far. Right away I was able to put it outside in my mini bog with rainwater and full sun. Today I see the three newest pitchers coming in vigorously and very happy.

The plant arrived healthy & in good condition, but this past Friday when I planned on transplanting it, it looked like it was mummified. I have no idea why this happened. The other 2 plants that I purchased at the same time also had leaves that were turning yellow.Maybe I should have transplanted them sooner. I should be able to save those 2 but I don't think I can save the carnivore. I plan on ordering a replacement today.

Most of the pitchers dried up , otherwise, the plants were healthy looking. Can't wait for more pitchers to grow. Will most likely order from your company.

These pitchers were nearly dead upon arrival and slowly disintegrated under my care. All my other houseplants, including carnivores, are lush. Me and these guys just didn't jive. I'm suspecting that the micro, teeny pot may have had something to do with it. Do not recommend.
Don't give your carnivorous plant fertilizer!
