THE OPTIONS
Sizes
- 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 upcoming growing season
Bareroot or potted?
- Potted plants are sent with a protective covering and will be good in this soil for another 6-9 months. Planter sizes are selected in relation to plant size and range from 5cm to 10cm pots unless otherwise mentioned
- Bare root plants are for those who wish to pot up and acclimatise their own plants. Plants and winter bulbs are cleaned, cut back, rinsed and sent in a protective covering with roots wrapped in damp paper towels
