Sundew Terrarium (2” Cube)

I received mine quick. It was sent immediately, and shipped via USPS, so it usually means within 3 days. It arrived with no heating pad, but I guess that the 60 days live guaranty is as good as a heating pad. The plant appears to be alive. It is small within a small glass container the size of a small snow globe. The plant is set in grow medium so it stayed intact during transit. Hopefully, it will survive long enough for life outside the container. Oh, BTW for people deciding between the sundew and the venus flytrap, my research suggests that the sundew is lower maintenance outside the globe. For the sundew, all I need to do is to place it near a window. Update: It has been a month. The sundew has grown a little. No mold. Yeah, I like it. I will probably order other plants soon now that it is getting warmer. Another update: a white fuzz appeared after 44 days. I emailed the seller with a photo, and I have a replacement a week later. The replacement is a little leaky with some solution leaking from the container. I cannot see any crack on the container, and the plant inside looks fine. It is informative to compare the original plant with the replacement. The original is about 10x larger. So, it must have grown. I am facing the white fuzz of the original towards the window, hopefully the sunshine will slow its growth while I get the necessary soil, etc. to try to rescue it. BTW, outside the container, carnivorous plants are a little involved to maintain. They need special soil, and distill water. I am not hopeful with my skills to keep them alive outside the container. But, I will give it a try. Yet another update: It is now past day 60. After turning the mold part of the Terrarium towards the sunlight, the sunlight appears to have limited its growth. The white fuzz appears to have disappeared, replaced by a white patch. My observation is that this plant needs a lot of light. I believe that plants, mold and algae are in a constant battle when they are in a confined space. One will do well at the expense of others. So, let your terrarium get some sunlight.

Followed instructions and plant still died, it was very small too.

So, my first plant didn't make it to me. The usual mailman swears he left it on my porch, but it was no where to be found. HOWEVER, this seller is fantastic, got back to me within a few hours, and shipped out a replacement the next day. This one arrived fine. I waited all day, using tracking and watching for the mailman. But it was delivered separately from my regular mail. So sadly, it sat outside in the northern KY cold for about 20 minutes. Lil thing doesnt seem affected, though. Yes, its a small plant, somewhere between nickel sized to quarter sized, but its worth remembering that they're supposed to stay in the dome without opening it for MONTHS. Then they get transplanted. It makes sense a larger, older, easier to see plant would be used for the product image. Given some time, im sure mine will match it in size. The first pic ive added is of the shipping box. Not an amazon box, but that makes it a touch less likely to be taken this time of year. The second is after i opened the shipping box, its a smaller box packed in. Carrying it inside, i didnt hear it moving around much, so this worked. The 3rd is the small box opened. The little dome terrarium is so snug in there that there wasnt even room for it to wiggle. Perfect for shipping glass! The fourth is after i took the dome out of the box and the tissue paper off. Its also plastic wrapped, probably to keep the dome from wiggling around on the base during shipping. The fifth pic is the plant. I clustered all the different items around it for a size compare. See, small. But it says its small. Size adds up right. The sixth is the view from the bottom, its well rooted in its gel, so it should be happy and grow great. The seventh is the plant itself, blurry from the condensation on the inside of the glass from the temperature change. The eight is a size compare to a quarter. Hard to see the quarter, but its there, the plant is just a touch smaller. The last pic is the best pic i could get of the plant. Its tiny, but its absolutely adorable, and I'll definitely buy from them again. I've already got my eye on a few different plants.

My daughter loves it, and it's growing nicely.

First one showed up cold and gooey stuff was everywhere! I contacted the seller and they resent me one that showed up completely intact! It's so cute and beautifully green 💚

I opened the mangled box hoping for the little plant to be intact. It was but the glass base was broken and the gel had seeped out. After contacting Bloomify, they sent a replacement right away. My second one arrived intact but the plant was mostly black in color and was not looking like it would make it. I placed it in a bright location and crossed my fingers. Two days pass and I receive another package from Bloomify and it was another sundew plant. I was pleasantly surprised to see a healthy plant in a intact container. The newest plant is doing well, so far, but I'm sure if it were to suddenly die, Bloomify would quickly replace it. This is the second time I've purchased plants from Bloomify and have had great results. I am already looking forward to my next plant from Bloomify and have recommended them to friends and family
