Where can I get plants?
To buy carnivorous plants today is not
difficult anymore. Beside nurseries specialized in
carnivorous plants, often they also can be found in
garden centers. For beginners this is not the worst
source to make experiences with these strange plants,
because often the plants which are sold are cheap and
easy to cultivate. Unfortunately I have observed that
employees there are not so familiar with the cultivation
of carnivorous plants, so often the plants suffer a lot
due to wrong treatment. If you like to buy plants in
common garden centers, be aware that the plants look
healthy and that they have a vivid colour.
To find more rare species, you will have
problems to get them in regular garden centers. It will
be necessary to contact commercial cp nurseries or
private carnivorous plant growers, which perhaps sell
plants too. More rare Pinguicula species are
quite difficult to find because they are not so loved by
carnivorous plant growers due to its non-spectacular
phenotype.
I
sometimes sell plants from my collection, so if you are
looking for some species, just send me an email
.
