Know a fair carnivorous plant price before you buy.

The same Venus flytrap or Nepenthes sells as a small tissue-culture cup, an established potted plant or a bare-root division at very different prices. We track 1731 live-plant listings at 3 US vendors daily and compare prices within each form — never across. 48 species and varieties compared as of July 20, 2026.

Sticker prices are the wrong way to compare carnivorous plants. A small tissue-culture cup of Sarracenia and an established potted division are different products: different size, different age, different establishment risk. Any "cheapest Sarracenia" answer that mixes them is misleading. So this site's core rule is form-factor honesty: every price comparison groups listings by how the plant is actually sold — tissue-culture cup, potted, or bare root / division — and prices are only ranked inside a group.

For each species and form we show three numbers: the low (cheapest current listing — a real price you can go buy today), the median (the best anchor for "what does this normally cost"), and the high. Listings that bundle several identical plants ("3 plants") are divided down to a per-plant price; listings whose unit count we can't verify are shown at their lot price and kept out of the per-unit stats rather than guessed. Seeds, growing media, supplies and multi-species lots are excluded entirely — they aren't a single live-plant price point.

Prices are collected once a day from each vendor's public catalog, so everything here is at most a day old. The methodology page covers exactly what we track and how form-factor normalization works.
