(201 customer reviews)

Cephalotus follicularis (a.k.a. the Australian or Albany Pitcher Plant) is native to the coastal area of southwestern Australia. The first known reference to the plant is from a diary entry by botanist, Robert Brown, in 1802. The carnivorous pitchers of C. follicularis utilize several tactics for trapping and retaining prey, including semi-transparent “windows” in the lid, bright coloration, nectar, a toothed peristome, and slippery inner walls to name a few. In addition to the carnivorous pitchers, C. follicularis also produces flat, non-carnivorous leaves.

    This plant was bigger than I expected 😍. In this pot, I could count about three plants. It’s healthy, top quality, their packaging is excellent, and I will definitely buy more. This is not the first time I’ve bought from them, and they definitely have me as a loyal customer.
