💬 Instead of full plastic pots, some of my plants come pre-rooted in neat little rootball plugs — an open wall soil block specially formulated for carnivorous plants and wrapped in moist paper towels for safe shipping.
They’re ideal for:
✔️ Beginners who want an easy and convenient transplant
✔️ Couriers (they weigh less & ship better)
✔️ Terrariums and savage gardens — just pop them straight into your setup!
✔️ Small plants with fragile roots
✔️ Finicky species that don’t like root disturbance
✔️ Growers who prefer to use their own pots or soil mixes
It’s honestly the best of both worlds — not bareroot, not potted — just a perfectly prepped plug & play solution that fits right into your setup, your way!
Less stress - More success! Originally developed to lower shipping weight and limit transplant shock in bog gardens and terrarium setups, Cultivo’s Rootball Plugs™ have become a customer favourite for stress-free planting — especially with sensitive species. They’re a small touch that makes a big difference!
