I got a dewy pine plant from somewhere else

I got a dewy pine plant from somewhere else. You were sold out.I ordered your Dewy Pine mix. It arrived on time and looks great. Sadly my plant I ordered from another place arrived dead. What other plants can this mix be used on. I will order a dewy pine plant when you have them back in stock.

Everything was great the only thing I would have liked is if the soil bags were labeled
The soil it's self was great

Used it and it works great

Used it and it works great. Drosophyllum is growing beautifully. However, best to plant it in a 12" pot and the purchased soil is inadequate to fill the pot so I made some of my own.

Soil mix arrived with my Drosophyllum and worked great in the recommended pot size.

Excellent shipping!

I was astounded by the shipping quality! I was almost sad to remove the plants from their snug temporary greenhouses.

Good soil

Good soil. Product as advertised. However, due to their customer service, I won't ever be doing business with them again. I found 2 other nurseries to fulfill my predatory plants desires. Terrible customer service.

This mix seems to be perfect for the Drosophyllum I planted in it. The plant seems to be thriving!

Ordered Dewy Pine soil from CC. I repotted several Dewy Pines using mostly new soil and the plants are doing great. Good quality and quantity. Thank you.

Perfect match for an 8 inch terracotta pot! Filled it up and already had moisture in it so I didn’t have to do much!

FAQs

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY ORDER?

We guarantee your plant arrives alive and healthy. If there is a problem, email us within 72 hours of delivery with a photo of the plant, and we will make it right.

Please note: some cosmetic stress from shipping is normal and not eligible for replacement, including minor leaf loss, brown spots or small tears. Our team will use their expertise to determine whether an issue qualifies under this guarantee. There is also seasonal, cyclical growth to many of these plants and they may arrive dormant.

HOW LONG DOES SHIPPING TAKE?

We are a small, family-style nursery with a tight-knit team of dedicated plant lovers, and every single order is handled with the same care we’d give our own gardens. Once you place your order, please allow 1–3 weeks for processing — that’s our team hand-selecting your plants, gently cleaning them up, carefully wrapping each one, and packing everything with love to make sure it arrives at your door in the best shape possible. Shipping then takes an additional 2–7 days depending on your location. We know waiting is hard when you’re excited about new plants, but we promise the extra time is worth it — no order here is ever rushed or treated like just another box on a conveyor belt. Thank you so much for supporting a small business and trusting us with your little green family members! 🌿
