- Carnivero Nursery (www.carnivero.com) is located just outside of Austin Texas. In this video we pay them a visit and discuss the evolution of carnivory and how it's related to geology, how elevation affects temperature in the tropics, lighting, humidity and evaporative cooling, and the great diversity among all the plants that have independently evolved carnivory to compensate for low-nitrogen soils.
Thanks to Drew, Louie, Karina and everyone else who helped out production of this video. Thanks to Javier Gonzalez for assistance in production.

Three videos in three days? Two of them over a half hour long? Hot dog!
🌭
"Man these are primo seats! I could really go for a hotdog!"
Carnivero is legit, amazing to see their nursery like this bro
Dude keeps opening another door to another dimension. That place is bananas 😮
every plant has a strategy to give you the chance to love everything about it
Beautifully said
This place gets the Charles Darwin Award for "coolest plant nursery" ever! Darwin really loved carnivorous plant species!
Just remember many of these plant species go from "threatened" to "critically endangered" in their NATIVE environments around the world so if you want to get a plant or two like them this is the nursery is where you can actually buy them from. Fascinating video! Thanks Joey and Drew!
As an engineer obsessed with botany I could totally see myself doing something like this someday lol. Probably with rare tropical/subtropical conifers though instead of carnivorous plants, if only people would actually care about those like they do with Nepenthes.
Sounds like you have a niche to carve out!
This is basically my goal for gymnosperms. I've been teaching myself how to do the cultures and study the dna. My health took a turn and I had to leave my job and get away from screens. So I'm doing what I can to setup a small home lab. Baby steps but I'm loving the journey
You find the coolest people Joey, I was sorry when this ended. What an operation!
awwwh man. this guy’s enthusiasm is so pure! thanks for the s-tier carnivore content
I gotta admit I LOVE these dungeon deep dives into specific plant types. Such a deep dive into particular plants and the strategies to cultivating them is really cool
IMO this is one of the best videos Joey has done. The operation here is just fabulous, you can tell the owner is both passionate and extremely knowledgeable about what he does, and it's such a joy to watch the two guys talk shop about it for an hour. I'm seriously considering buying a plant or two from them just based on how cool all of this was, they've piqued my interest.
Damn I'm 55 minutes into this, and it feels like it just started! This is awesome, and I'm so glad it's over an hr long!
If you're near Raleigh, NC, the Juniper Level Botanical Gardens has a really great collect of carnivorous plants, including our own native venus fly trap!
I am near Raleigh! I'll check it out. Do they also sell some? I love that NC has venus fly traps naturally near carolina beach.
when i’m having a bad day, you pop up sometimes, and it’s always so good.
to watch someone geek out forever about something they love, talk to others that also love it, and share that love with the world… it’s refreshing. thank you.
Never let bad days wear you down.😊
gotta agree..
passion is contagious! hope you have a good weekend!
Unreal. I feel like I know nothing about nothing.
Mōrena from NZ! I'm learning Landscaping and Horticulture and this is my favourite channel! I learn so much and the absence of bullshit is amazing!!!
E aroha ana ahau ki a Aotearoa! XXX from NL😛
I have two plants from this place they are great
I love the facility, tremendous work, I hope hes in business forever going down the rabbit hole
Mind blowing! Thank you for providing Drew a platform to talk about his work!
Hell yes I love me some carnivorous plants 😍
I live in Ontario Canada, Sarracenia purpurea is one of the plants that as a kid got me interested in plants (i wish at that time I had the capacity to look a little closer as these days I'll often find Drosera near by that I also find super cool) , I didn't even know it was a carnivore back then I just liked the colours and especially the flowers.
Where I see it growing in its natural habitat it tends to grow right in the edge of the swampy area where it'll stay quite wet most of the season, and in winter it'll freeze pretty solid. I'd venture a guess they will probably do just fine without any protection from the freezing even in pots.
Cool video, and what an awesome place that is, its cool to see how passionate he is about all these carnivores.
I get home from at night of drinks with da boiz and I get served with a dessert of 1+ hour of wholesome fucking extremely interesting content to help me fall asleep and have nice dreams.
Thankyou and lots of love from Melbourne Australia xoxo❤
This guy is awesome, and that nursery is amazing.
Ayy I was just working through your taxonomy class video and you showed the convergent evolution of carnivorous plants in that... Cool to see this pop up at the same time!
Drew's excitement and knowledge is inspiring. This really made me want some carnivorous plants haha
Russel.Alan now this dude..amazing friends,,great video.
This is so freaking sick! I will have to make the drive up from San Antonio.
Thanks this was incredible
Incredible, I expected to skim through this. Now I'm convincing my wife we need these beautiful, living pest control solutions. Thanks for the tour
You’ve blown my mind yet again. And good for that former Google engineer for escaping.
Psychedelic carnivores 59:04 - Great video Joey and Drew! Amazing collection.
That tissue culture setup is amazing. Love what these guys are doing.
I've got a Sarracenia x "yellow jacket" literally just in a small little basin in a rock with some peat moss and that thing is a *BEAST.* Lives up to its name and absolutely eviscerates yellow jackets, mosquitos, even slugs. We literally never have had a wasp or mosquito problem since planting that thing. Weirdly doesn't get all that many flies but we don't have a fly problem really. Its shockingly drought tolerant (at least for a carnivorous plant, its survived drying out for upwards of a week which is nuts, apparently S. flava is by far the most drought tolerant and its got some flava in it), wind tolerant, even tolerant of some freak temperature extremes. The thing is borderline indestructible and does its job fantastically. Definitely worth growing some of the sturdier carnivorous plants to deal with bug problems.
Haven't had as good of luck with other carnivorous plants, have managed to hold on to some Dionaea for a few years, Drosera have had some issues with freezes and ironically aphids, and a S. rosea had issues dealing with freezes. S. psittacina has weirdly done quite alright. I've considered also trying to grow tuberous Drosera around some fruit trees to deal with codling moths as the dry season dormancy seems really convenient to not have to turn the surrounding area into a damn swamp (plus the climatic match between southern Australia and the PNW is surprisingly close), but never committed and figured that fertilizing around the trees would do them in anyways. Either way, carnivorous plants are a fantastic biological solution to bug problems (and are neat as fuck). Just go with a nice hardy Sarracenia (preferably with some flava hybridization) if you want a truly indestructible one.
god damn, I didnt realize drew was that of a genius. he's someone I inspire to be in life, I'll always continue to support someone like him and the knowledge and proficiency he brings to the field. remarkable guy
I live in Austin and decided I want to add a carniverous plant to my terrarium today, then you post this! Thank you sir, you're a legend ❤️
What an absolute treasure of a person, this and the landscape video are bangers, easily the 2 best videos I've watched all year.
Saracennia and Pings are my favorite carnivores!
Amazing. In Edinburgh at the RBGE they have the most amazing collection of Pitcher plants. They're in a Tropical glasshouse. This is just phenomenal. I hope who ever buys these plants look after them. It's such dedication and commitment. ❤
Joey Thank you for this video, I appreciate these longer videos than the 20-30 min videos.
Can you try to make a video just like this but about different cactus species?
Anyway great video joey!
You two dudes shoulda BEEN knowing each other 😄 Had me smiling the whole time.
WOW!! What fun!! I love this guys enthusiasm and passion for what he is doing. The 2 of you like walking encyclopedias. THANK YOU
This was one of the coolest videos ever on this channel. Not that there isn't tons of other great ones too. I just really liked this guy's passion for growing these plants and I never even knew they could be grown! Let alone so many species! And he taught himself all of this. That's really amazing too how he has the right climates dialed in and the way he's culturing clones is fascinating. Yeah, I can listen to these guys talk about these plants for hours! Great video.
Most comprehensive introduction ever. Thank you so much.
Cool tour! Very knowledgeable and passionate people.
Wow those are some beautiful specimens. Impressive hybrids
Watched this when it dropped on patreon, but had to watch it again. SO COOL.
That was sick! Going to watch again and order some plants. Thank you for this video
This is some of the greatest things you’ve brought for us
Wow, never heard of this place, I need to check it out!
Would love to see a Great Lakes exploration of carnivorous plants of the bogs, marl fens, and random roadside ditches. Isle Royal as a bonus video!
I spoke with drew at a plant convention. Super nice and awesome guy.
LOVE CPs! Been growing some for over 20 years. VFTs, sarracenia, Sundews, utrics, neps. FUN plants!
I’ve gotten lots of nepenthes from them before. They’re great
I could have been listened you two talk about plants for hours, your passion and knowledge is incredibile and I've learned a lot of stuff, thanks!
Carnivero makes awesome Nepenthes hybrids! Being able to see the nursery like this is *chefs kiss* 😗👌
This was fucking amazing! Thank you.
This is such a complex operation! It’s amazing how he has so much knowledge and manages everything
I've always kept carnivorous plants but struggled with monkey cups. This shit is gold. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for not keeping this behind a pay wall! The last podcast appearance you and Al made was great as well.
AWESOME video.
I’m in Canada and I just started a small bog garden with some purple pitcher plants. Crazy some of these even make it through the winter.
Used to focus on orchids before covid, had a huge collection. I lost the entirety of them during the pandemic... Finally done mourning, with renewed interest in carnivores and natives. I've got about 30 nepenthes from them now.
Didn't realize how much I had in common with this guy! Work in software for money, I also hacked the mini split in my plant room to pull the temperature down for masdevallia. Now, it'll chill out my Neps 😉
The Crime pays but botany doesn't and Carnivero crossover?!?! This is the best version of the simulation
Great video today!! I'm a fan from way back, and I've seen you introduce us to carnivore plants in the wild. Thanks for bringing Drew on your show, and I'm hoping to make my Houston abode a happy place for a special plant from Carniviero!
One of the best ever. Impressive operation.
What a genius. Thanks so much for sharing. One of your BEST!
Ahhh fk yeah! This melted my face off. When you initially walked inside, I was blown away by what I saw. Thanks, so much for this gem of a place. I live on the southern Oregon border, & we have some nice Darlingtonia communities, in the Kalmiopsis wilderness. Thanks again, Joey & cheers, you da man.
Absolutely awesome truly educational experience thanks again brother ❤❤ best wishes from Scotland 🏴
Ya know Joey. If you keep seeing shit flys no matter where you go, maybe you should check your own shoe buddy. I have the same problem so I keep Nepenthes, Drosera, and Pingicula in my house. The Sarracenia live outside in the full sun. I took a trip to see Darlingtonia in habitat and it was glorious.
Thats intense. Absolutely loved every minute of this.
The GG Allen Lmfao. dude your the best ever.
I was like SAY WHAAAA?
absolutely fantastic video. I almost cried when you went into the tissue culture room. Everything about this place is so dialed in and it's beautiful to see the process and passion.
This is one of those banger videos I just know I'm gonna come back and watch 3 times, I just learned so much!
Holy shit this is PERFECT timing! I have a buddy who’s family owns a shitload of land here and they sold part of it and were clear cutting everything. However we were able to save a bunch of Sarracinia Minor, Drosera Brevifolia (red sundews) and some species of butterwort. So I literally just got a nice collection of carnivorous plants overnight, yesterday!
That was so friggin cool, I ordered me a beginners pack, when my grandsons visit I well send them home with the future Audrey!
This is so fucking dope man! I’ve barely started watching and this is already on my top ten list for CPBBD episodes
Many years ago, a friend at a Grateful Dead show gave me some nepenthes extract - I definitely had an altered experience. I've searched for any papers that mention psychoactive compounds in the plant without any success. Have you ever heard of?
I love the questions you ask. They allow for people's passion to come through. Awesome video!
Insane operation!
You need to visit the Cranberry Glades in West Virginia. It's an isolate bog in the mountains that has carnivorous plants. You'd also love Beartown State Park that's nearby, quite the geology masterpiece.
Holy crap, I learned so much from this video. Also went and bought three pitcher plants from Carnivero, blew my families minds! Thank you for the great video!
Dang Joey! I just got my third plant from them and NOW I see you there?! Awesome!!!
🤘🤘
One hour and eighteen minutes of, wow. Thank you everyone involved.
Absolutely superb work
Appreciate the video
Will have to download it
No resisting that
Wow, what an interesting nursery! I checked out their web site, but am still curious about how they feel the plants, and how they are shipped. They certainly have an incredible investory. Thanks for sharing that.
What an amazing nursery. I am stunned at the science blended with real love for all these species. ❤
Bad ass! Have several carnivero plants and crime pays is the best!
Fascinating video.
Inspirational to meet these brilliant people doing good things for plants.
Hey man, big cheers from Czechia and I should thank you for these long-ass crazy deep-dive videos - not only they are super fun to watch and the people you visit are borderline wizards, you also got my husband finally hooked on plants. He’s been living in a flat that’s basically a greenhouse for a long time but he only understood the beauty of it thanks to these awesome deep-dives of yours. Now I can grow whatever the fuck I want while he eagerly helps with the logistics and tech side of all that.
Love the content and thank you!
very informative. this must be one of your best videos. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
awesome to see their TC operation. seems like a cool crew, owner dude is on another level. glad he left his $$$ job to follow his other passions
Feel a lot more humble now. Thanks for some wonderous stuff you guys!
What an awesome enterprise
I love this man! I can’t wait to go to his nursery.
This was a real interesting one
this guy is pretty cool. awesome find.
Wow Drew is a brilliant obsessive botanist - awesome collection - and a kindred spirit to Joey. N.bicalcarata is sooooo strange! Glad to be a supporter of da channel. Get thee to Borneo before they be disappeared.
Incredible. Thanks for sharin, Tone
What a SUPERB video! Love these guys and their gorgeous setup, not to mention the plants.
Oi, you even quoted my favourite article on the plant keeping hobby in this video! When a Housseplant Obsession Becomes a Nightmare is phenomenal!
I LOVE carnivorous plants! Been a fan since I was a kid.
Love this!! I have 2 sarracenia that I grow in pots for 4 years. I love that they eat flies and mosquitoes! FYI - the BT dunks don’t kill all bugs. The specifically target mosquito larvae and fungus gnats. BT is safe for all other bugs, people and pets. Adding a BT dunk to water barrels each season helps stop mosquitoes from using that water as a breeding ground.
This guy is amazing,and so are you.thank you so much
