Short story of the carnivory

The history of carnivorous plants can be traced back to the 15th century. Botanists had already recorded some types of Drosera and Pinguicula without having any idea about their uniqueness. It is not until the 18th century that the debate really got underway. In 1875, through research and experiments involving the Drosera genus, Charles Darwin was able to expose the ability of these plants to capture and digest preys. At this point, the idea of carnivorous nutrition enters our knowledge in the plant kingdom.

Battles between science, politics and religion around this theory and its author, followed. Even though most scientists admitted that there is a nutritional interaction between certain plants and insects, it is not until the seventies that scientists were able to chemically prove, through experiments, that plants digest their preys. Being carnivorous isn’t just catching preys, but also includes digestion, using enzymes secreted by the plant itself, or bacteria living in the digestive liquids. The assimilation of the nutritional elements resulting from this process is called digestion.

Today, we officially recognizes more than 700 carnivorous plants, belonging to 17 or 18 kinds, which are themselves divided into 19 genera and 11 families.

About the Service Plus

(1) Unless otherwise stated, the plants are shipped bare root, wrapped in moist sphagnum moss. Prepare everything you need to repot them upon arrival. Each Tillandsia and Neoregelia is wrapped in a dry padded box.

(2) With the Service Plus (when available), the plants are shipped in their original pot, in a protective box, with a "Karnivores" label on which you can write the name of the plant. There's no need to repot them upon arrival, and acclimatization is much faster and easier.

Our packagings

Our packaging "Standard Service".

Batch of 2 Dionaea muscipula to be wrapped in the plastic bag.

Plants getting bare root, preparation of wet sphagnum moss and identification label.

Disposal of the sphagnum moss around the roots so as to ensure perfect protection and hydradation during the transport.

Wrapping of the plants and closing of the bag with the identification label.

Disposal in the cardboard box with protecting bubble paper, so that the elements cannot move or be flattened.

Our packaging "Service Plus".

Pot containing 2 Dionaea muscipula, with its future plastic box and its color identification label.

Disposal of the pot in its place. For the prostrated plants, the pot is covered with dried sphagnum moss and placed in a bag, which prevents the content from going away in the box. For erected plants, some cellophane is placed around the pot, leaving the foliage free.

Closing that immobilizes the pot, and placing of the color label that allows to identify the box content straightaway.

Disposal in the cardboard box with protection chips or bubble paper, so that the elements cannot move or be flattened.
