Bumpy ride for my new N. Macrophylla

I picked up a N. Macrophylla on eBay last week and it definitely had a bumpy ride. Luckily, the plant seems fine. None of the leaves or pitchers were broke or smashed.

Wow... its night and day! Very nice :)
 
Wow, it really got banged up, but it looks no worse for wear. Nice plant you got there! :)
 
Wow what a great packing job!

I'm glad there was no real harm done to it.
 
Good stuff.

It didnt look so great in the first pic and I was scared for you. But then when i saw it all cleaned up I was very surprised at the condition.

Congrats :)

Looks like it is a very nice plant, in spite of the rough trip it had...

Good luck!

Thanks for the responses. According to the seller this is an AW clone. The winning bid was $157.

The roots weren't damaged, they were actually pretty large
