If you love Carnies, you'll love this book. Detailed information on all the different species. Though expensive it's worth the money. Highly recommended

What a great experience

My son was interested in getting a carnivorous plant. I came across Cultivo Carnivores and I’m so glad I did. I made an appointment to see them. What an amazing time. Therese was so helpful she didn’t just sell a product she imparted knowledge and passion to not only me but to my son. I would highly recommend taking the time to meet with them. Thank you for what you guys did. We will definitely be back.

Restock Alerts
  • Because Cultivo is a boutique-style store, most of our collector’s plants are one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” or limited seasonal releases. That means once they’re sold, they’re gone - so standard restock notifications aren’t practical here
  • A few seasonal plants or variants of small-batch releases may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details
  • 🔔 For instant updates on new and rare arrivals, subscribe to our WhatsApp Channel and keep an eye on the New Arrivals Collection
