Arrived in great condition. Has 3 small pitchers, but they don't look anything like the advertised picture.

Arrived healthy and ready to grow!

Each plant is larger and more developed than I thought I'd be getting! Multiple pitchers, very robust looking. Maybe I'm just extra lucky to not live super far, but no issues with shipping, they all look very healthy and damage free. Excited to restart my nepenthes journey after a Winter mishap took out my mature nepenthes alata and try some new varieties plus some other carnivorous species. I'll be back for more!

This plant was well packaged. It looks like a very healthy plant so far. I can't wait to see how it develops as it grows. I really enjoy shopping with wellspring. They have such great quality plants and excellent customer service. I will definitely be as always a returning customer.
