Know before you buy
Yes. We photograph the specific specimen you will receive, so you can see the exact size, pitcher development, and health of the plant before it arrives.
Absolutely. The plant is shipped securely in its 3.5-inch square pot, meaning it is already established and ready for immediate display upon arrival.
This is a specific, rare cultivar known for its unique growth characteristics and pitcher morphology. It is propagated directly from established mother plants to ensure the genetic integrity of the cultivar is maintained.
Cephalotus follicularis requires bright, indirect light and a specialized carnivorous plant substrate that remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Because they are sensitive to root disturbance, keeping them in their established pot is recommended for the best results.
While it is a healthy, established specimen, Cephalotus can be particular about its environment. It is best suited for growers who have some experience with carnivorous plants or are prepared to research the specific humidity and light requirements of the species.
