Policy Against the Sale of Harvested Plants and
Material from the Wild
Latest version: 29 Mar 2012
We continue to support the efforts of the International Carnivorous
Plant Society, the North American Sarracenia Conservancy and the many
other organizations that seek to curtail and, if possible, stop the
decline of carnivorous plant populations and their habitats in the wild.
In accordance with their efforts, we will never support the sale of
plants or plant material that is directly harvested from the wild.
Likewise, we discourage the introduction of carnivorous plants as
invasive species into habitats in which they are not endemic. |

Shipping Policy
Latest version: 03 Apr 2013
Although our primary mode of operation is courier delivery of potted
carnivorous plants, we can accommodate special requests to ship
purchases outside of New York City. Shipments, when done, are sent USPS
Priority Mail w/ tracking, or by USPS First Class Parcel with
tracking. Insurance is also
available, depending on the size of the order. Though not recommended
for beginner growers, the purchaser may opt to have certain plants
shipped bare root.
The Replacement Plant Policy, below, does not apply to shipped
orders. If there is a problem with your delivery, please contact us, and
we will make specific arrangements on a case-by-case basis.
Orders for shipment outside of New York state are not subject to NYS
sales tax.
Placing a purchase is an acceptance of
the terms and conditions of this policy, and the understanding that
these terms and conditions may change.

Replacement Plant Policy
Latest version: 01 Feb 2014
The cultivation of carnivorous plants is an exciting hobby that does
require practice. If you are a first-time grower, and are having
difficulty with one of the plants listed below within seven calendar days
of receipt, we will replace the plant (one time only) and try to help
you figure out what growing conditions can be altered to better suit
your plant.
Please contact us by email or by phone (contact information
at the bottom of every page) if you are having difficulties. Please be
prepared to bring the plant with you to receive its replacement.
Due to
the rarity of some of our particular cultivars and species, and the
understanding that beginner growers should start with the more forgiving
plants, we can only apply this policy to the exchange and replacement of
the following plants: Dionaea muscipula 'typical.' Drosera
capensis 'typical', Drosera capensis 'albino', Drosera
'Marston Dragon', Pinguicula
unknown, Nepenthes alata, Nepenthes sanguinea,
Nepenthes 'Miranda', Nepenthes 'gentle'. If a replacement
plant is unavailable due to stock issues, a plant of a similar genus or
a refund may be offered in its stead..
Purchase of a plant through our site is an acceptance of
the terms and conditions of this policy, and the understanding that
these terms and conditions may change. |
