We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.

Venus Fly Traps Doing Well

Dear WellSpring, my venus-flytraps are settling into their new home and seem to be doing well, with several new traps on the way from the center of each plant. Thanks for your great service! Steven

This plant was well packaged. It looks like it just came out of dormancy. So I can't wait to see how it develops as it grows. I really enjoy shopping with wellspring. They have such great quality plants and excellent customer service. I will definitely be as always a returning customer.

Don't give your carnivorous plant fertilizer!

Carnivorous plants are adapted to receiving low soil nutrition. They consume bugs to compensate for it. If you try to bypass their nutrient delivery method, by using fertilizer — or tap water with a high particle count — it could harm your plant.
