home improvements stopped selling CPs

I haven't seen any in the Home Depots or Lowes in NC for a while now..several years at least.

It probably depends on who the regional supplier is. Southern California seems to carry them throughout the year. Around this time of year you'll usually find them more often because they are vaguely associated with Halloween.

One LACPS member recently reported a good assortment including Nepenthes at the Torrance Home Depot.

Maybe I need to go visit my uncle and aunt in Torrance...

I went to the Home Depot in Orange and they had a very fresh shipment of death cubes in...There are VFT, D. capensis (with huge leaves) and the 'cobra' sarr. I grabbed a couple of the VFTs. I think someone that works there knows whats up cause there were a few plants away from the main box with the tops opened. One of the Capensis in that opened group was throwing a spike. I'm gonna go to the other Home Depot in Garden Grove and the Lowe's in Westminster tomorrow.

In July, I went to the Northlake lowes(next to Drury Inn) and there were absolutely no CPs. Didn't check any of the others.

Your making me jelouas. The last time I saw real carnivores at my Lowes, there was a perfectally healthy sarracenia rubara and Nepenthes Judith hindle. But my mom thought that one VFT and one drosera is "too much."

I just got back around noon, went to Lowe's and they had the same vendor plants HD had. I did find a ping in a clearance shelf, but just when I was repotting it ( it was in LFS) the crown came off...there looks like a few tiny roots so I stuck it in a mix of peat, sand, and perlite. Hopefully it grows, if not $2 lost....

Is there any other easy and common source of carnivorus plants that is not online? I heard farmers marktet usually have a wide selection of CPs.
