I’m new here! I haven’t had plants in a while, but am finally in a place where I can have some again! Are there any places you recommend purchasing from or avoiding? (online or in person) I am in central FL!

My absolute favorite plant store is Bloom in South Tampa. A HUGE selection of quality plants and the staff is eager to give you guidance on any plants you purchase. The staff will also pot plants for you or wrap one for a gift

Specifically carnivorous? Avoid red leaf exotics, dude has a terrible terrible history. California carnivores has a great variety and they are very helpful and kind-I can’t suggest them enough, and they’re pretty accessible to most people in the states.
