What I learned about ant ferns I knew I had to have one. I saw that California carnivores had them for sale so I went ahead and reserved one. They let me know they were available for sale and once they did, I went ahead and ordered one I am just tickled to death with it. It is such a neat little plant .In fact within about a few days after receiving it I noticed a new sprout coming up and that sprout has steadily grown and it is now a pretty much full-size leaf and I also believe I have one or two more sprouts coming up so if you like unusual plant, go ahead and give an ant fern a try
Very tiny and not very good looking.
Another Great Plant and shopping experience... Thanks Again for all you do with your plants...
I'd love to come visit your nursery some.day...

I wasn’t impressed with the plant I received, it had two main leaves and 2 very tiny leaves nothing like the photo. The leaves are in not good condition also. I think the plant price was very over priced for what was given to me
