Welcome !

We are dedicated to grow some of the most fascinating plants of this planet: the carnivorous pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes. These plants attract, kill and digest insects and in rare cases even small animals like frogs, lizards, rats and birds. Forgot to mention: they also attract humans because of their outstanding beauty and sophisticated functionality. The sizes of the pitchers range from a few centimeters, to others capable of holding much more than 1 liter of fluid. Most tropical pitcher plants produce first basal rosettes, before they start vining up neighboring plants or even into the forest canopy. The largest carnivorous plants are within the genus Nepenthes.

All of those plants will be artificially propagated and we hope that our work will contribute to protect the last havens of biodiversity, by making these rare plants accessible everyone. Many of the pitcher plants habitats, some of which are in the Philippines, are heavily endangered by overpopulation and related consequences like slash and burn farming, illegal logging, over collection etc.

We are located in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon Province, Philippines, 90 minutes south of Cagayan de Oro on Mindanao island. Visits can be arranged by appointment only.
