🌿 Thank You for an Incredible Spring Pre-Order! 🌿 🌿 Thank You for an Incredible Spring Pre-Order! 🌿

We’re so grateful for the amazing response to our Borneo Exotics spring pre-order. Your support and excitement truly means a lot.🐜

The Borneo Exotics pre-order sale will officially end on Wednesday, March 4th at 6 PM EST. At that time, all unsold items will be removed from the website and grown out and acclimated here at our nursery to be sold locally — hopefully in time for the May NC Carnivorous & Exotic Plant Symposium. 🦗

Last call: if you’ve been thinking about adding anything to your order, now is the time. If you plan to place a second order, please contact us so we can easily combine shipping for you.🪲

Next weekend we’ll begin the big task of preparing shipping labels (it’s a lot of work!). You’ll start receiving email notifications that your order is “complete” — that simply means your shipping label has been printed (how exciting!). All orders will ship from us to you around March 11.🪳

The photo here was taken at the famous Borneo Exotics nursery in Sri Lanka — featuring BE-4615 Nepenthes sibuyanensis × (veitchii × lowii). Hopefully we’ll have some of these available in a future round 😉🪰

Thank you again for supporting our nursery. We can’t wait for these plants to arrive at their new homes. 🌱✨

🐠Update on our Thai Orandas from CoastGemUSA!🐠 Ba 🐠Update on our Thai Orandas from CoastGemUSA!🐠

Back in September, we received four stunning Thai Oranda Goldfish from CoastGemUSA — and the transformation over the past few months has been incredible. Their size, color, and overall beauty have only intensified. The wen growth is developing beautifully, their colors are richer and more vibrant, and their body structure is strong and well-balanced. These fish truly showcase the quality genetics behind them.

We’ve been so impressed with how they’ve grown and matured that we’ve partnered up with CoastGemUSA. If you’d like to add high-quality genetics to your own pond or aquarium, you can use code Kennycarn15 for 15% off any available fish — valid now through March 15.

🐟 Quality genetics make all the difference.

🔔 Final Restock Update — By Popular Demand! 🔔 Aft 🔔 Final Restock Update — By Popular Demand! 🔔

After selling out this weekend, we’ve been able to secure MORE LARGE plants of:

• Nepenthes ampullaria ‘Lime Twist’ — BE-3390
• Nepenthes sibuyanensis × merrilliana (selected clones) — BE-4026

🌱 Nepenthes ampullaria ‘Lime Twist’ BE-3390 is a classic swamp-dwelling species that, when mature, produces beautiful basal rosettes that form a carpet of pitchers with few leaves. This carefully selected clone features the body coloration of ‘Harlequin’ paired with a striking lime-green peristome that can develop maroon striping in high light. It thrives in warm temperatures, high humidity, and consistently moist, acidic media.

🔥 Nepenthes sibuyanensis × merrilliana BE-4026 is one of the most impressive hybrids ever created. It combines the waxy texture of N. sibuyanensis with the sheer size and power of N. merrilliana, producing enormous deep orange to red pitchers. It’s vigorous, robust, and an easy grower. A clone of this cross even holds a 🏆Guinness World Record🥇 for largest carnivorous plant by volume — and it may not be the limit.

If you’d like to add one to your existing order, send us a message and we’ll arrange it — or place a new order on the website and we’ll refund any duplicate shipping charges.🪳

🗓 All Borneo Exotics pre-order items must be finalized by March 5.
📦 We’ll remove listings after that date to prepare for shipping around March 11.

Thank you again for the incredible response — we’re proud to be able to offer plants like these to our community.🦗
