Time To Print More Planters

Good quality carnivorous plants can be tricky to find. A good grower is the first thing to look for when purchasing plants online. Unfortunately it can take a bit of trial and error when finding a reputable nursery. Each have their own species they specialize in, and depending on the shippers location, the plant might be adjusted to that locations environment. I’ve tired many gowers during the years, below are a couple of the ones that have filled the garden.

Plant Shipment

Getting hard to find plants adds another layer of difficulty. In searching for a White Hurricane Creek, I was lucky to find David Conner of Conners Carnivores.

He quickly shipped over two medium sized rhizomes and two beautiful little seedlings.

Most nurseries clip off foliage to save space on shipping. Conner was able to ship an out of the box showy specimens!

Great looking roots, he also shipped a packet of Osmocote 19-6-12 Fertilizer to beef up growth. (4-6 pellets per seedling)
