    Beautiful plant but...

    The poor thing snapped off from the roots after tilting it slightly sideways whilst unwrapping. Was perfectly packaged & carefully unwrapped don't know what happened.

    Very healthy Nepenthes

    My plant arrived in excellent health and well packaged with absolutely no set backs from the shipping process. I've had this plant and others I ordered from Bonsai Tree for 2 months or so now and they have already grown alot and are absolutely thriving! I would definitely recommend to anyone to purchase their plants from Bonsai tree since I've never had a bad experience with their products.

    Awesome Plant

    Cecco has made a new pitcher right after I received it. Within about three weeks, I now have three new leaves in various stages of growth. One is starting to form another pitcher. Beautiful plant. I am very happy with it 😊
