Philosophy

"Every predator plant is proof that evolution has no interest in being normal."

XENO exists for those who find beauty in the extreme — in leaves that digest flesh, in roots that cling to bare rock, in species that laugh at the conventions of the plant kingdom. We don't sell décor. We offer encounters.

Care & Cultivation

These plants require understanding,
not just watering.

Light

Bright indirect

Most carnivores need 4–6 hours of bright, indirect or direct light. South-facing windows or grow lights.

Water

Pure water only

Use distilled, RO, or rainwater. Tap water minerals are toxic to carnivorous plants. Tray method preferred.

Substrate

Nutrient-free

Pure sphagnum moss, perlite, or sand. Never potting soil or fertilizer — these plants make their own nutrients.

Humidity

50–80%

Tropical species need high humidity. Terrariums or humidity trays work well. Temperate species are more tolerant.

Feeding

Optional, not required

Insects once a month for indoor plants. Never raw meat or fertilizer. Healthy plants catch their own prey.

Dormancy

Respect the cycle

Many temperate carnivores need winter rest at 2–10°C for 3–4 months. This is not dying — it's necessary.
