Will this be restocked?
  • At Cultivo, every release is carefully selected and grown with purpose. We don’t mass restock - most plants are small-batch, seasonal or one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” pieces. Once they’re sold, they’re truly gone. That’s why you won’t see a typical “email me when available” option on these listings
  • Some seasonal items or small-batch variants may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details

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.
