The world's widest selection of Carnivorous Plants and Seeds for sale on the web

A genus of over 100 species of sticky-leaved perrenials (and a few annuals,) distributed around the world in all climatic zones from the Arctic to sub-saharan Africa. Many are easily grown, and make excellent house plants if planted in peat:sand mix and stood in a saucer of rainwater on a sunny windowsill.

Tropical species requiring high temperature and humidity. A fascinating group of plants, with more species being discovered all the time. Cultivation: 1:1 peat:sand, standing in water for the winter months, day temps 80-90ºC+, nights down to 65ºC. Dormant period in Summer (May-September,) - reduce watering until barely moist. Provided with the right growing temperatures in the winter these plants are easy, but the dormancy watering is a fine line that makes these plants unsuitable for beginners.

After a half-hearted rosette of long-petioled tiny trapping leaves,.this sp. produces non-carnivorous leaves that are really just petioles, sometimes with vestigal tufts of hair in place of the leaf blade. A very curious piece of evolution that confers no discernable benefit on the plant.

The petioles of this species are not only long but fat! a most unusual plant to add interest to any collection.

An erect sp., taller and more graceful than D.petiolaris.

A newly discovered sp. to add further confusion to the complex.

Very hairy plant, with typically petiolate leaves emerging from a dense mass of tomentum.

Small trapping leaves on (comparatively,) extremely long and hairy petioles give this plant a unique aspect.
