Place in a bright spot indoors away from direct sun as it can burn the leaves. Water when soil feels dry, watering more in summer than winter.

GOBBLE GUTS: SARRACENIA
Commonly called trumpet pitcher plants, gobble guts lure and collect insects in their tall pitchers and slowly dissolve their nutrients to survive. They will eat any insect brave enough to enter their pitchers! Best grown in full sun to part shade and will undergo a winter dormancy in which they must be heavily chopped back to gain energy for the next spring growing season. Never fertilize and only pot in sphagnum or peat moss. Keep moist
VENUS FLY TRAP: DIONAEA MUSCIPULA
Our most popular carnivorous plant is back! The venus fly traps will close and trap any insect that enters its mouth and digest it for nutrients, how cool is that?! Venus fly traps do best with full sun, ideally outside or in a very bright indoor spot. Never fertilise, keep wet and must only be potted in peat or sphagnum moss.

Dill is a very attractive, feathery herb grown both for its leaves and its seeds. It is also a good food source for beneficial insects. The leaves are best eaten before the plant runs to seed. The leaves have a delicate tangy flavour and a wonderful aroma which goes really well with fish, eggs, and poultry. Best used fresh and added towards the end of any cooking process. The aroma and attractive feathery texture makes it one of the best garnishes in the kitchen. It is particularly good in salad dressings and in oils and butters, or through cream cheese.
Today, dill is known mostly for its culinary uses, but its history goes back to the Middle Ages, where it was often mentioned in writing. In medieval times, dill was associated with superstitious beliefs and magic. Placing dill above the door was reputed to ward against witches and sorcery. Its name was taken from the term ‘dilla’ which means ‘to lull’ in deference to the lulling of discomfort associated with digestive disorders, particularly in children.
Dill is a hardy plant that is relatively easy to grow, as long as it has a full sun aspect. It tolerates many different soil types and growing conditions across Australia. However, it will do best in soils that are moist and rich in organic matter. The plants mature and flower during the summer months, so watering and mulch for water retention is required. A warm summer suits them best, but dill plants are tolerant of the cold in frost-free areas.
Dill is considered to be a good companion plant for cucumber, lettuce, cabbage and onions. It is a poor companion for carrots and tomatoes.
We have a big range of potting mixes and soil amendments for every plant type and gardener.
Peat and Sphagnum Moss are great for potting up plants that like it wet such as carnivourous plants like Venus Fly Traps and Pitcher Plants.
Horticultural Charcoal will remove any bad smells from sitting water so it's a good addition to the bottom of any terrarium, particularly ones with plants that don't mind wet feet like Maidenhair Ferns.
