Description

This is the all purpose fertilizer for your carnivorous plant collection. It is a nice, mild, kelp-based food that won't burn your plants. We use MaxSea in the nursery and the plants love it! Even the live sphagnum thrives with MaxSea! 

It can be used on all carnivorous plants (except Pinguicula) at a dilution of 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. Lightly mist the leaves of the plants once a month for best results.

This is a 4 ounce jar of MaxSea 16-16-16 fertilizer.

We recommend against using this for the Pinguicula and instead recommend using Schultz Cactus Fertilizer.

I’m seriously impressed with the MaxSea 16-16-16 fertilizer from California Carnivores! I

I’m seriously impressed with the MaxSea 16-16-16 fertilizer from California Carnivores! I purchased the 4 oz bottle along with my carnivorous plant in late August, and it’s now only early September — after just ONE application, my plant has already nearly doubled in size!

The difference is incredible. In the picture on the left is the plant when I first received it, and the picture on the right is the most recent photo. The growth in such a short amount of time has been amazing to watch.

I’m extremely happy with this fertilizer and excited to see how much more my plant grows with continued care. Another great product from California Carnivores.

Saved my VFT seedlings!

We make a gallon of this and put it into spray bottles to apply directly to the leaves. All the plants have been growing much better since we started lightly spraying them monthly!

FAQs

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY ORDER?

We guarantee your plant arrives alive and healthy. If there is a problem, email us within 72 hours of delivery with a photo of the plant, and we will make it right.

Please note: some cosmetic stress from shipping is normal and not eligible for replacement, including minor leaf loss, brown spots or small tears. Our team will use their expertise to determine whether an issue qualifies under this guarantee. There is also seasonal, cyclical growth to many of these plants and they may arrive dormant.

HOW LONG DOES SHIPPING TAKE?

We are a small, family-style nursery with a tight-knit team of dedicated plant lovers, and every single order is handled with the same care we’d give our own gardens. Once you place your order, please allow 1–3 weeks for processing — that’s our team hand-selecting your plants, gently cleaning them up, carefully wrapping each one, and packing everything with love to make sure it arrives at your door in the best shape possible. Shipping then takes an additional 2–7 days depending on your location. We know waiting is hard when you’re excited about new plants, but we promise the extra time is worth it — no order here is ever rushed or treated like just another box on a conveyor belt. Thank you so much for supporting a small business and trusting us with your little green family members! 🌿

What are the best carnivorous plants for terrariums?

You can grow carnivorous plants in terrariums and we recommend Mexican Pinguicula, Nepenthes, Cape Sundews and Tropical/Indoor Sundews

What are the best outdoor carnivorous plants?

While there is some variability based on your location, plants like Sarracenia, Venus flytraps and temperate Drosera do well outdoors!

What are the best carnivorous plants for indoors?

Many carnivorous plants make great houseplants! Try Nepenthes, Drosera capensis, Pinguicula

WHAT ARE THE BEST PLANTS FOR BEGINNERS?

Drosera capensis is THE perfect beginner's plant! Cape sundews are handsome, dewy plants that are very easy to grow. They will catch gnats, fruit flies, and flies and can easily grow on a sunny kitchen windowsill.
