A note for beginners: growing carnivorous plants from seed is usually a slow and delicate process. It could take as long as 3-4 years to grow an American pitcher plant that we sell for $9.99, and Venus flytraps can take seven years to mature.
It is also important to note that cultivars of plants like Venus flytraps are not genetically identical to their parent plants when grown from seed. While the seed will have much of the genetic similarities to the parent cultivars, each seed is genetically unique and cannot be labeled as a pure cultivar. Click here for our seed sowing tips!
For international orders, California Carnivores will not be responsible for additional costs due to importing, such as customs charges. Seed orders are shipped in padded envelopes.
We also have a whole seed sowing guide on our YouTube page to help you get the best results:
