Cultivo is all about choices and our plants are available in various sizes and options to suit your every need

Bareroot or potted?
- We recommend sundews as potted plants for beginner carnivorous plant enthusiasts - simply unwrap, water and enjoy! Potted plants are sent with a protective covering and will be good in this soil for another 6-9 months. Planter sizes are selected in relation to plant size and range from 5cm to 10cm pots unless otherwise mentioned
- Bare root plants are for those who wish to pot up and acclimatise their own plants. Sundews generally have very fragile roots and may take a while to settle in. Bareroot plants are rinsed and sent in a protective covering with roots wrapped in damp paper towels
