You may have heard of the infamous Venus Flytrap. Well, did you know that there are over 1000 different species of carnivorous plants! However, what exactly is a carnivorous plant? The official definition is "any plant especially adapted for capturing and digesting insects and other animals by means of ingenious pitfalls and traps." Some other species in existence are sundews, butterworts, pitcher plants, roridula, aldrovanda, and many more! I highly recommend a Google search to check out some of these amazing plants!
Today you are bound to learn loads more about them because our guest, Domonick Gravine, knows all about the subject. He is the founder and owner of RedLeaf Exotics: a specialized carnivorous plant nursery based out of Tennessee. Though, he specializes in growing a specific species known as Nepenthes or pitcher plants. His plants are huge and insanely beautiful.
Together, we shed light on how to grow these magnificent plants. We also get into what goes into running a nursery and growing a business online. Domonick grows many different variations of Nepenthes, so we talk about some of the crosses he has and the difference between the highland and lowland plants.
