Care:
A very easy plant and great starter for the pinguicula realm. Best grown in a terrarium/greenhouse type environment with decent light, but not direct sunlight.
Perlite mixed with vermiculite kept moist is our mix, but different conditions may mean trialling different low nutrient media/ratios of the media . Always keep them moist and in a humid environment.
Bare rooted when sent via express post?
Plant will be bare rooted and carefully wrapped in sphagnum moss. We prefer to bare root most carnivores for ease of postage and the plants safety in transit (prevention of bruising etc)
Note:
- We can now send plants from our Nursery here in NSW to Quarantine states if the quarantine treatment process is followed. This is done through another Nursery (Rareplants), before purchasing click on link and follow the process and advise us of your interest: https://www.rareplants.net.au/quarantine-concierge-service/
- Normally we cannot send plants to WA, TAS or NT (Biosecurity) without options such as above process
- Apologies we cannot send plants internationally as of yet
- Partial refunds will be considered on a case by case basis, (we wear costs of funds being transferred )
- You may receive additional species in aquatic packs (duck weed etc) Doing our best to purify our collections and stop frog movement between our cultures!
- Protect your local biodiversity, do not release any plant into your local environment even if native. Plants from cultivated sources may not be of genetic local provenance and interfere with local population ecology and genetics
- We do our best to check for hitch hikers before sending but we can't guarantee there wont be any. We suggest all plants be quarantined to contain any potential hitchhikers (algae to aquatic & land snails/inverts ) no matter the supplier
- Please pay for plants/items by 1pm Saturday to give us time to package the plants before post day Mondays. Payment after 1pm Saturday will mean plants posted the following week. If there is a public holiday during the post week we will post the following week to avoid the plant spending excess time in transit
- Be aware we cannot claim responsibility for delayed times in postage.
- We do our best to carefully package & post on Sundays/Mondays to minimise delays in transit. We care about our plant life some of which are rare, we want the plants to arrive to you in the best possible condition. But please note some factors are out of our control especially in current times
Happy Growing
