It's unfortunate the other reviewer didn't have luck with his utricularia order. Perhaps it was mostly a case of mistaken expectations as the plants were sold/described as as bare root "as-is" grade C, (recommended for experienced growers). I have received many utricularia from various Orchidmart pre-orders and they are all doing great including U. Praelonga. Admittedly some pots were rougher than others but none were dead or past salvaging. I will continue to purchase carnivorous plants from Orchidmart as the variety and prices can't be beat.
I was worried about the shipment in cold winter, but plants arrive safely with nursery pot, heated pad , good packaging. Healthy plants, can’t wait to see the new roots after settle in
