- Whether you prefer starting off with a younger plant and watching it grow over the years into full majestic glory or jumping in with more munch, right from the get go, we've got you covered! Cultivo is all about choices and our plants are available in various sizes and options to suit your every need
- These are 3+ year old (3-5cm) to 5+ years (near-flowering size) plants, sold either bareroot or ready to grow - already potted in our deluxe carnivorous plant soil, without the need for repotting and acclimatisation on your end. The size on offer refers to the maximum size your plant will reach during the current growing season
Bareroot or potted?
- Potted plants arrive pre-planted and will be good in this soil for the next 6-9 months. Planter sizes are chosen based on the plant's size, typically ranging from 7.5cm to 10cm pots, unless specified otherwise. We also spruce up your plant during preparation by removing any dead or aging traps before shipping. Your potted plants are sent with a protective cover and securely packed to guarantee they arrive in perfect condition - simply unwrap, water and enjoy!
-
Bare root plants are sent without pots or soil and perfect for those who want to pot up and acclimatise their own plants. Our plants and winter bulbs undergo a thorough process: they're cleaned, cut back, rinsed, and then sent to you in a protective covering with their roots wrapped in damp paper towels to keep hydrated during shipping
