Product rated : Nepenthes Maxima Wavy

Fast little plant

I'm very excited for my wavy maxima, he's a little smaller then I was expecting, since at the time I order it had a different picture up (the photo up now is more accurate of the look and size,) but it has been growing so fast, it's really neat to get small plants and watch them grow. Sounds silly but there's so much satisfaction in seeing them double in size. Lovely little guy, can't wait till he starts showing his true colors!

Product rated : Drosera Andromeda

Incredible Drosera

The plant I recieved met and went above expectations. It regained its dew the next day after opening and has been flowering non-stop since I got it this spring. It's so big beautiful. And it's so happy in the conditions I have, so I couldn't be more happy.

Product rated : Carnivorous Plant Fertilizer

Maxsea fertilizer

I just received my package in the mail today. Package arrived quickly and plants were packed awesomely.
This is great that you can purchase this smal quantity from southbay traps. I just made a gallon of fertilizer and it barely made a dent in the jar of fertilizer. This will last a long time if only using 1/4 tsp for carnivorous plants. Ill probably give it to my orchids and other plants as well!

Product rated : Nepenthes Glabrata (from seed)

Just a wee lad...

... but with some love, it'll grow! Perfect size for me!

Product rated : Nepenthes Bellii

Nice plant

Great addition to my CP plants. Received in perfect condition! I can't wait to see it mature more and get some nice pitchers .

Product rated : Nepenthes Gymnamphora

Healthy plant

The packaging was outstanding and the plant came in perfect condition with some nice looking pitchers. Thanks for the happy and healthy plant !!!

Product rated : Nepenthes Burbidgeae

Great sized plant

The plant I received was not only healthy but also of a decent size. The leaves had even been pushed back into the pot in order for it to fit during shipping! The plant was about four inches across and the pitcher it came with was almost two inches tall.

Product rated : Nepenthes Gymnamphora

Great plant

Honestly the easiest grower I have in my highland collection. With not much info to care I placed it in generic highland conditions and mine has been growing like a weed! Plant came in with many pitchers and was very healthy. Highly recommended to purchase.

Product rated : Nepenthes Truncata

Nice grower!

Have had this plant for a few months and it's growing really well. Arrived healthy and had no adjustment problems to growing outdoors in Miami.

Product rated : Nepenthes Sanguinea

Happy plant, Happy plant parent.

This plant was packaged VERY well and arrived in amazing condition. It was larger then I thought it would be. It is already putting out a new leaf and I've only had it for about a week. I'm very happy with my purchase and I will order from you guys again, THANKS!

Product rated : Nepenthes Maxima Wavy

AMAZING!

I ordered this plant about a week ago. I could not pick them up at the post office for almost a week though because I was very busy. When I did pick them, I was afraid they were going to be dead, but no! they were alive and healthy! The plants were well packaged and very secure. I'm very happy with my purchase and I will be ordering from you guys again.

Thank you
Shannon

Product rated : Nepenthes Leonardoi

Decent sized plant

The plant was shipped in a timely manner and was of the size described. I thought it would have more pitchers but there was just one buried in the live sphagnum. Still, it was a healthy plant.

Product rated : N. aristo x hamata

Amazing!

Plant came in very healthy! So far growing very easy in intermediate conditions. Plant sent had 4 good sized pitchers.

Product rated : Nepenthes Sanguinea

Very Satisfied

The plant arrived securely and in good condition -- it's been a little over two weeks and it has already put out new leaves and pitchers! I'll likely be ordering again!

Product rated : Nepenthes Ephippiata

Small but healthy plant

I purchased this item and received a plant a little less than an inch across. It was packed well and the plant was very healthy. It is a slow grower but definitely worth it.

Product rated : Alien Venus Flytrap

Great Alien flytrap

Great Alien flytrap exactly as the picture in size and potted! Thank you guys!

Product rated : B52 Venus Flytrap

WOW great delivery time and the plant is in excellent condition

You guys are the best, I've also followed your growing tips by using Distilled water in place of the chlorinated tap water.
I'll send you pictures as they grow.
Thanks again for your wonderful Service and excellent plants.
With Regards,

Product rated : DCXL x Dracula

Excellent again!!

I've ordered this trap after my first beautiful trap come in and this one took a little longer to get only because he had a huge order to ship out which when I contacted him he had explained that which I told him it was understandable but he went out of his way to package my order and ship it immediately. Now that's excellent service and I'm thankful for it. These guys are great at what they do and satisfaction is a guarantee purchasing from south bay traps. I will continue ordering from them in the future.

Product rated : Dracula x B52

Excellent

I'll tell you now these guys know what they're doing. I got this plant and ordered another after receiving it. These plants are so healthy and are stunning. The shipping was super fast and the way they were packaged to avoid damage was professionally done. I will most definitely continue ordering from south bay traps in the future. They are no doubt grade A.

Underwater?

Hello- I'm a planted tank enthusiast, and I was wondering if this plant could survive underwater, like its cousin graminifolia

Product rated : Nepenthes Rajah

Jake H - Rajah Seedling

You won't find a place with a better price on seedling N. rajahs. I received a very healthy little seedling with a nice topdressing of vibrant live sphagnum. The media they use (perlite, LFS, Kanuma) is perfect for more high elevation species like Rajah, that like more open mixes. In total, they know what their doing in terms of nepenthes care, highly recommended!

Product rated : Drosera Andromeda

Great sundew! Thanks!

The plant I received was very large and robust, resuming growth a few days after shipment in late November. It has multiple division starting at the base and is growing a flower stalk this week. I've been looking for the Andromeda hybrid for a few years, and I'm glad to see them available regularly here and at a good price. Thanks!

Product rated : Red Piranha

Beautiful vft

Really one of my favorites, it came really well packaged and protected, most traps were red alredy with a little green in them, also awesome texture, definitely one of my favorites

Product rated : Shark's Teeth

Another Great Fly Trap

My Shark's Teeth arrived small as pictured, very colorful and there were a few sundews growing in the same pot which bumps my rating up to a 5 Star. Can't wait to see it next season :D

Product rated : B52 Venus Flytrap

B-52 VFT

I ordered some VFT from 3 different online stores. Southbay was the fastest and most efficiently packed of the 3 and the B-52 was big and beautiful, the only thing I regret is not getting them all from here.

Product rated : Heliamphora Minor "Big Orange"

Heliamphora 'Big Orange' Review

The coloration of this individual is delicately beautiful. Each new pitcher is ever more pleasing to watch grow.
The medium and the potting used here is of very good quality.

Product rated : Nepenthes edwardsiana

Nepenthes Edwardsiana Review

This species is of course stunning. Be aware, though, at least in my case, the specific specimen was oversold. Of the last 10 highland Nepenthes I've acquired, this N. edwardsiana from Southbay Traps was in the least best shape starting out, and the longest recovery time. Perhaps some of the unusually-high shock was due to something during shipping. A plant I got from them in the past was meticulously packaged, though this one was not so much.
I currently have the first new pristine leaf on this guy, and about to pitcher, after 4 months. It's been a while but it is beautiful.

Product rated : Black Purple Cephalotus

Quickly becoming one ofmy favorites

I got my cephalotus about 3 months ago and it has impressed me more and more everyday. The medium used for potting is the perfect mix for cephalotus as well. You will want to add this one to your collection.

Product rated : B52 Venus Flytrap

Recently Purchased

I recently ordered one of the B52 plants. It arrived quicker than I had anticipated and in beautiful condition. I have ordered a few carnivorous plants online before, but have never received one that was this healthy and beautiful upon arrival! Southbay traps will definitely by my new supplier of plants going forward!

Product rated : Low Giant Venus Flytrap

Great

The plants arrived healthy and beautiful. They were packed with care. I have a question though. How old does a flytrap have to be to start feeding it?

Product rated : Drosera Regia

My Regia arrived in perfect condition. Southbay Traps is the best. Will be trading with them again! Thanks!

Product rated : N. ramispina x ventricosa

Love the colors

Plant arrived well packed and super healthy. I love the reddish green color of this plant. It had 3 or 4 new pitchers on it and is growing very nice hanging in my south facing sliding glass doors. Thanks Guys !!!

Product rated : Nepenthes albomarginata red

Great plant

The plant I ordered arrived in perfect condition with great instructions and beautiful name tag. I will buy more plants. Thank you Mike.

Product rated : G14 Rosetted "Dirk Ventham's Giant"

Not Dirk Ventham's Giant

Just wanted to make it clear, G-14 and G-14 "Rosetted" are two different plants, as such G-14 "Rosetted" is not Dirk Ventham's Giant and that should not be labeled as such here. It's a very nice plant, but not that one.

Product rated : B52 Venus Flytrap

Huge

I purchased a full grown plant and it is a Goliath! It was very well packaged and arrived healthy.

Product rated : Drosera Intermedia

First Class, Very Happy with careful Shipping

Very happy with South Bay Traps for going the extra mile with ship updates, and putting plastic protective cups on the Sundews they ship, plastic wrapped and shipped in a larger format box. Plants look fantastic.
In contrast, Day before I took some Pings in delivery from another nursery that I am having to nurse back to health after being shipped packed tight (smushed) in paper towels, in very small box.
Great Job Phil (wrote me a note) and SBT!
