New in the Shop

A rare and beautiful Nepenthes from the Sumatra highlands. Our specimens have well-grown, typical pitchers.

C.P. of the moment

One of the most striking rosetted sundews ! An easy grower.

Darlingtonia californica

4 to 6 cm of diameter

Coming from Northwest America (California, Oregon), this plant produces tubular, cobra-shaped leaves where insects get trapped and cannot escape, due to the slippery surface of the upper area and the hair-covered surface of the lower area. These traps are probably the most elaborated amongst the carnivorous plants !

Conseils spécifiques pour cette espèce

Température

Up to 30°C in summer and from -10 to 15°C in winter.

Eau

Only rain, demineralized or osmosed water. A mineralized (and especially calcareous) water may be lethal in the long term. Keep wet in summer and moist in winter.

Engrais

No fertilizer. The plant gets enough nutrients with its traps.

Luminosité

Shaded sunlight.

Substrat

The carnivovous plants mix is the standard soil, but you can do it by yourself using 2/3 of sphagnum peat moss, plus 1/3 of perlite and vermiculite, or quartz sand. Sphagnum moss is suitable too. A big volume of peat helps keeping cool temperatures around the roots.

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".

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.

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.
