Predatory Plants

Predatory Plants

Josh Brown started Predatory Plants in 2009 as a side-project while working at Microsoft in Silicon Valley. He sold greenhouse-grown carnivorous plants at local farmer’s markets and on this website. The business remained small until Josh decided to quit his desk-job in 2015 so he could dedicate more time to his passion.

Predatory Plants has subsequently grown into one of the premier carnivorous plant companies in the United States. With over 25,000 square feet of greenhouse space, Predatory Plants has become the largest producer of seed-grown Nepenthes and sundews in the nation.

The unique and amazing plants we produce can be found here on our website, Amazon.com, at our store in Half Moon Bay, CA, and at local nurseries in the San Francisco Bay Area.

    lol every time I hear about winter outside I think "nope, they will die".... most videos are from america, so info is from your guys over there.... but living in northern europe means a lot longer winters and minus degrees between -10 to -20 Celcius in winter.... which can be between october/november until march if the winter is long, like this year that passed, with frist every night and day.... so..... Garage I guess for us?

    How often should I spray my fly traps with Maxsea fertilizer? I’ve also noticed some of my fly traps are growing deformed leaves from the spider mites. How often should I spray them with insecticide?

    My question is, that distilled water is quite expensive. I collect rain water, but sometimes in hot summer I run low. Can distilled water from tumble dryer used as an alternative, or it would kill the fly trap. Normal plants won't be harmed by it, but vft are sensitive.

    Living in the Mojave Desert we have no choice but to grow indoors because the extreme heat and dry desert conditions will kill Venus Flytraps. I'm growing very healthy plants on my east window sill with about 4 hours of direct sun and a humidifier.

    My Venus fly trap has been closed with a fly for like 4 weeks. I fed it about a week after I bought it. Why is it taking so long to open? It also had black leaves after it closed but now it’s growing new leaves.

    I’ve noticed my basil plant is struggling a little bit. I separated the parent plant from them, and the basil plant have the roots from the parent. All the conditions are fine, right light right humidity. The leaves of the basils are growing just fine, but growing smaller and smaller pitchers. I’ve sprayed them with a diluted dose of Maxsea fertilizer once a month. I thought when you separate the basils from the parent and the basils have the roots of the parent plant that the size of the pitchers skyrocket so I don’t know what to do

    I got my first cephalotus about a month ago. Really cool looking plants. Mine sadly died back during the first couple of weeks I had it and I started panicking but gladly didn't throw it out. It's now growing new leaves and new juvenile pitchers. Maybe in a few months time I will try to take some leaf pullings. Great guide and definitely gave a bit more confidence to do this
