Each plant is already potted in our deluxe carnivorous plant soil, freshly repotted for the season and won’t need repotting again until next winter — simply unwrap, place in a tray of rain or distilled water and enjoy!
- NEW: Our Beginner Range plants now come in Deco Planters with fitted trays, making it even easier to grow carnivorous plants in South Africa — no more guessing when to repot or how much to water. Learn how the setup works →

What’s in the Beginner Range?
Each plant in our Beginner Range comes pre-potted, labelled and ready to grow — here’s a quick look at who’s who and how they catch their prey:
- Venus Flytrap (Snap Trap): Grows best outdoors in full sun. Famous for its jaw-like traps that snap shut when touched.
- Cape Sundew (Glue Trap): A hardy South African favourite with sparkling sticky leaves — thrives in full sun outdoors.
- Forkleaf Sundew (Glue Trap): Fast-growing and fascinating to watch — forked leaves glisten in the light and trap tiny insects.
- Butterwort (Glue Trap): Ideal for bright indoor spots or windowsills — catches fruit flies and gnats on its sticky leaves.
- Trumpet Pitcher Plant (Pitfall Trap): A striking outdoor grower with tall, colourful tubes that lure and digest insects.
- Purple Pitcher Plant (Pitfall Trap): Compact and cold-tolerant — perfect for full-sun bog gardens or bright patios.
- Monkey Cups (Pitfall Trap): A tropical pitcher plant for bright, warm indoor spaces or terrariums — hanging pitchers catch flying insects.
Whether you grow them indoors or out, every plant in this range is locally grown, fully acclimatised and ready to thrive in South African conditions.
