Carnivorous Plant nursery specializing in Nepenthes. We offer quality Venus flytraps, Pitcher Plants, Butterworts and more! Ships throughout the US. 🪰

While in Sri Lanka, I originally planned to spend While in Sri Lanka, I originally planned to spend just one day visiting the legendary Borneo Exotics nursery… but if you know me, you know I can talk endlessly about carnivorous plants! 😄 Thankfully, Rob and Diana Cantley graciously welcomed my countless questions and showed such incredible hospitality that my one-day visit turned into 3.5 unforgettable days exploring their world-class Nepenthes operation.

It was amazing to see where so many of our exotic Nepenthes pitcher plants have come from over the past six years—and I can’t wait to share some of their extraordinary hybrids with you.

✨ SAVE THE DATE:
Our Nepenthes Pre-Order Sale goes live Friday, February 13 at 6 PM EST!
Your plants will ship out from us starting around March 11.

We typically import ~1,000 Nepenthes each spring and fall (and sometimes summer!), and we’ll be posting the full preorder list in early February. If there’s a specific species or hybrid you want—even if it’s not on the list—just let us know. We’re happy to bring in one… or ten for you!

Stay tuned as we highlight some of the incredible Nepenthes crosses you’ll be able to snag this season. 🪴✨

Wow, what a year! We’re incredibly grateful for ev Wow, what a year!
We’re incredibly grateful for every one of our followers and customers who helped make 2025 such a memorable season for Carnivorous Plants by Kenny Coogan. 🌱✨

Today, as we reflect on all the growth and good moments, we’re treating ourselves to something a little different… a fish spa day in our own greenhouse! 🐟💦

Our 800-gallon fish pond is usually home to a peaceful school of hardworking little nibblers—but today they’re on toe duty. Yes, these tiny fish gently nibble on your toes, helping exfoliate skin and boost circulation. It’s relaxing, it’s natural, and it’s surprisingly therapeutic.

A perfect reminder that even in a busy year of potting, pruning, propagating, and packing orders, it’s important to stop and take a moment to recharge.

Thanks again for being part of our growing community. Here’s to an even greener year ahead! 🌿💚

Those tiny, round pitchers are impossibly cute and full of character — a real conversation starter in the greenhouse. 💚
The chocolate mint is really taking off in our aqu The chocolate mint is really taking off in our aquaponic system! 🌱💦 The leaves are a little yellow — not our favorite — but our system has only been running a few months, and we’re still experimenting with how much to feed the fish and how often to do water changes.

Despite the yellowing, it still smells and tastes amazing, a sweet little reward in the joys (and learning curves) of trying to grow sustainably! 🍃✨

It's a lowland hybrid, but doing well in our heated North Carolina greenhouse, despite the freezing temperatures outside!
