• Rainbow Plants > Byblis Guehoi

Our Seeds

• These are fresh seeds harvested within the last two growing seasons
• The seeds we sell are either imported from trusted sellers (including reputable nurseries and private growers) or are harvested from our own plants
• We do not sell carnivorous plants or seed, collected from the wild
• With so many imitations online, all of our seeds are genuine carnivorous plant seeds - We guarantee it
• Starting and nurturing your very own carnivorous plant jungle can be extremely rewarding and most of the seed available on the store have been tested on germination in our own seedling chamber
• Growing carnivorous plants from seed requires a lot of patience
• Under optimal conditions, carnivorous plant seed usually germinates within 4-8 weeks;  However, some are seasonal and others may require hot- or cold stratification prior to germination
• In all cases, most carnivorous plants will take a couple of years to reach maturity
• As this process is mostly a waiting game, it is ideally recommended for the adventure carnivorous plant enthusiast 

Sowing Guide

• Our instructional reference guide includes complete sowing instructions for both temperate- and non-temperate carnivorous plants (a link to this reference will be available on completion of your order)
• Stratification methods such as the use of GA3 or smoke treatment may be beneficial in increasing chances for Byblis seed germination
• For this reason, growing Byblis from seed is, in general, not an easy process for the beginner carnivorous plant grower 
• There are hundreds of carnivorous plant species, cultivars and varieties around the globe. The internet has some great resources and we highly recommend doing some research on the growing conditions required for each species.  Studying this information, prior to your purchase, would be in your favour
• Conditions differ and as with any other plant you will ever grow from seed a range of factors may affect germination.  Naturally, we can never absolutely guarantee germination, but we can guarantee one of the most important factors with regards to germination rate:  FRESH SEEDS
• When available the harvest date will be recorded on the seed packet

Quick FAQ

Why Pargo and not PUDO?

We partner with Pargo because it’s part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are kept indoors at local shops and businesses, protected from heat, sunlight and weather until collection — ideal if you prefer to collect at your convenience or aren’t home during the day.

To keep every order safe and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we deliver only via Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted for handling fragile and temperature-sensitive items.

• Just a quick heads-up: Since plants are natural products, you might notice some slight variations when unboxing your plants
• We do our best to make sure the plants you receive look like the ones in the photos, but keep in mind that seasons change and plants grow. Some leaves might age and die off, new ones might sprout and the plants may look a bit different over time
• Cultivo is a boutique-style store and 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. Some are once-off or limited releases, which means they are available only while stocks last. The labels are spot on, so even if the plant looks a bit different, we 100% guarantee it’s the real deal
• Also, all the photos you see are of our own plants unless we mention otherwise. We update images occasionally to keep things fresh. If you want to see updated pictures before you buy, just let us know - we’re happy to help!
