Carnivorous Plant Starter Pack – Pinguicula Butterwort & Cape Sundew, 2 Live Plants

Start your carnivorous plant collection with two fascinating insect-catching plants: Mexican Butterwort (Pinguicula) and Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis). This beginner-friendly pair features two different trapping styles, from the Butterwort’s flat, sticky leaves to the Sundew’s sparkling, dew-covered tentacles. Butterworts are compact and useful for catching fungus gnats, while Cape Sundews attract attention with their curling leaves and excellent insect-trapping abilities. Both plants arrive rooted in individual growing-medium plugs, with printed care guides included. Pots and additional growing medium are not included.

You will receive:

• ✔️ 1 young Mexican Butterwort (Pinguicula), approximately the diameter of a US quarter

• ✔️ 1 Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis), approximately 3–4 inches across at the longest leaves

• ✔️ Both plants rooted in separate growing-medium plugs

💡 Care Tip

Use low-mineral water and never plant these carnivorous plants in standard potting soil or fertilized mixes. Keep the Cape Sundew wetter and provide it with stronger light than the Butterwort. Avoid misting the Butterwort’s sticky leaves, and pot both plants into suitable containers soon after arrival. Seasonal changes in the Butterwort’s leaves are normal.
