Hi All,

My name is Michael Li, and I am the owner of FloraFauna.com.

I know that some of you have been wondering about the pricing of certain products on the site-- and that's fine. A critical part of the entire horticulture industry, as I'm sure you are all aware, is education. I have been collecting, growing, and breeding some of the rarest horticulture and reptiles in the world since I was 7 years old, and I feel that education is an absolutely paramount piece of the future of the industry.

All of my plants are extremely rare specimen-sized seed-grown Nepenthes from specific sites. These are not your typical BE clones, so obviously the price that they command will be much higher. Seed-grown plants sell for orders of magnitude more than regular tissue-cultured plants. For one, you will never receive a female clone. BE specifically makes sure of this. When you factor in locale specificity, rarity, size, and age, you will arrive at a much higher price than you would for a 2-month old plant.

So please, don't compare pricing for dime-sized, tissue-thin tissue-cultured clones with the specimens you see on the website.

Along the same lines, the so-called "robcatleyei" Nepenthes is very much different than the Nepenthes Truncata "black" specimens you will find on FloraFauna.com. These are seed-grown field-collected plants from the original (now extinct) wild populations of verified Truncata "black"-- not your typical King of Spades x Queen of Hearts turnkey plants that you may find for $50.

If any collector on this website owns specimen-sized seed-grown rare Nepenthes from reputable sources (I know all of them), please let me know-- I will pay cash.

All of this said, the goal of FloraFauna is simply to provide solidarity to the Flora and Fauna communities at-large. The goal of the site is to become an important destination and marketplace for plants and wildlife. As a site that already receives a substantial amount of traffic, FloraFauna.com offers a complete E-Commerce solution for any grower or breeder looking to sell online. The site is completely integrated with real-time shipping, infinite inventory management, and PayPal/Credit Card integration with well over 80 different payment gateways. I've always been a firm believer that as a cohesive whole, we, as vendors, are much more valuable to the community (and will receive infinitely higher traffic), than we are as separate entities.

Selling on FloraFauna.com is very simple. You must be a reputable grower or breeder, and apply for a vendor account. You may Click here in order to register your business on FloraFauna.

As I said, I have been growing, breeding, and selling some of the world's rarest flora and fauna since I was 7. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions about growing/breeding in general, or about the website.

Entendo Rodrigo, ele não teve muito tempo para se explicar para além dessas duas afirmações.

Felipe, com 10 mil verdinhas eu iria até os habitats delas três vezes, com acompanhante, e depois
passava em uma nursery asiática.
