Floating Sundew Plant - Drosera admirabilis - Carnivorous Plant 3" Pot

Arrived in almost perfect condition! There were also instructions that came with it for any beginners which was a nice touch. I waited a few weeks to write the review just in case, and the plant is doing wonderfully. Really nice green color, lots of visible growth and there was even a bonus little baby coming in underneath her! Will definitely be ordering more.

This is a pic of each straight out of the box. Better than I could of expected. Packed with love. The bulb and blue wrapping was still damp when it arrived. Plants looked so healthy. More than enough moss for 2 plants and pots included. Shipping box was full of it. Loved the instructions sheet, very helpful.

This is a hardy little plant. I absolutely did not have the right conditions for it when I got it, but I've been slowly correcting that over the past month or so, and not only is the plant still alive, but I finally have a good amount of dew on the leaves. This comes with a pot and more than enough potting material (dried moss or something) as well as some directions. I always have distilled water around the house so I am using that to water the plant (the other option is rainwater, but the supply of that is of course not easy to predict around here). I also got a shallow plant saucer to put under the pot so I could keep some water there and also catch any overflow. I put a humidifier in the room with this (I also have some air plants and an orchid with non-buried, aerial roots, so many plants are getting the benefit). It is one of the Vicks cool mist ones designed for a single bedroom. I think that is helping, as well -- you can definitely feel the change in humidity when you open the door to that room. And finally, I got a plant light. It was one of those red/blue LED ones and that seems to be fine. You will know it is too close if the leaves turn a dark red (this happened to me) and so keep adjusting it and then waiting a day or so. Dew will start to appear on the plant when your light is at the right distance. So the care for this is rather involved, but the plant you get is hardy enough to go through a few iterations of fixes as you attempt to get the conditions just right. For what it's worth, my plant is just around the size of a golf ball (the pot is 3", the plant is not). If you don't have very small gnats or something for it to catch, you can feed it blood worms (sold as betta fish food). Don't give it really big insects as the plant is too delicate for that.

Arrived healthy and alive. The plant is small, think very small, like quarter sized small. My other carnivores were small when I received them and now one year later they are thriving. I slowly acclimated the little sundew (Drosera) leaving it enclosed in its ziplock bag and placing it in late afternoon sun for a couple of hours for two days before transplanting it. While the plant was acclimating I soaked the sphagmum moss in a bowl DISTILLED WATER because it arrived mostly dried out. Do use the sphagmum moss. The plant does come with a plant care information sheet. My little Sundew is adjusting well.i planted it 2 weeks ago, look closely at its center producing new growth. Dec. 2024, the little Sundew really healthy and growing nearly fifty cents size with nice long hair leaves/ fronds. I’m very happy with its progress. They are slow growers.

Amazing little guy several lil babies going on already!.. Very excited with what I received now it's my job to keep this little bundles of joy happy & alive. Hopefully Mr. TRAP shows him the way.. Amazing packing & sooo much moss to use for growing. Awesome sellers! 10 stars! Beautiful specimens above & beyond expectations. See pixx..

Very happy with my purchase plant came alive and thrived well after planting !

Really awesome...clear instructions and enough LFS (moss) to keep them healthy. So healthy that when I repotted it to a self watering one, I discovered some babies that I carefully separated and you can see top middle and right middle in the photo. The main one is now growing a special funnel so it must still be happy. They give plenty of moss and the repotting was not needed, just something I wanted to do.

I don't typically blame the seller if a plant or animal dies, but this situation is different. The plant spent 10 days in a sandwich bag being mailed within the state. I had done a lot of research into the best way to grow carnivorous plants and had a good spot for it. I planted it in the pot and moss that it came with. I kept the moisture above 60%. I only used distilled water, and I had it in the same place I grow cacti and succulents. It died within 3 days. The company was very helpful and took the time to answer my questions and even looked at the pictures of my setup. In the end they blamed mold as I had this in a terrarium which is open at both ends. While this is possible, it just doesn't seem probable. I am already growing flytraps in the same terrarium. Great customer service, I'm just not happy with how long this sat in a box in temps above 100 and I believe it to be the cause of the plants death.
