At Nano Nursery, I work in a small, sterile grow-room lab where I carefully propagate clean, healthy tissue cultures of rare carnivorous and exotic plants. Each plant is offered either in its tissue culture flask or gently acclimated in a Carnivorous Cup before being sent directly to collectors.

By growing everything in the lab, I avoid wild-harvesting and provide a sustainable way for Australian growers to access Dionaea, Drosera, Pinguicula, Nepenthes, and Sarracenia cultivars that haven’t been widely available here before. From time to time, I’m also able to offer limited batches of special cultivars depending on what’s successfully growing in the lab.

We ship Australia-wide, with the exception of the Northern Territory due to strict sterile and biosecurity requirements.
