Will a dragon blood tree survive if I order it online?
The dragon blood tree is a very strong plant/tree. It needs little water. This makes it easy to ship in a sturdy package. The plant is packed and protected with great care for shipping, so it arrives safely at its destination. It can even be shipped in the winter period (provided the outside temperature is above freezing).
What temperature do dragon blood tree seeds need to germinate?
Dragon blood tree seeds germinate best when the soil temperature is around 23 degrees Celsius. You can use your own greenhouse or place the container on the windowsill. Of course, the other conditions must also be good. This means the seeds should not be sown too deep, the soil moisture level must be optimal, and there should be regular ventilation.
What kind of soil should I sow the dragon blood tree seeds in?
It is best to use clean soil that drains well. For example, use coconut fiber with perlite granules. Mix the coconut soil with perlite and put it in a sealable container (lightly permeable). Then moisten the soil slightly with a watering can. The soil should not be soaked, otherwise the seeds may rot.

Insects
Why do I find insects on this website?
We often don’t realize how important and valuable insects are for this world. Many people have a wrong image of insects and think they are pests. They do not realize the benefit these animals have for us and nature. But if you look at them up close, you really start to see how beautifully magnificent these creatures are. They are like small works of art from Mother Nature. To help people appreciate insects more, I want to preserve them and give them a second "life." That is why I search with Nadora.nl throughout Europe for naturally deceased insects and prepare them with utmost care by hand, so you can see what I see.
Do you also accept custom orders on request?
Yes! I can definitely work with you to design a beautiful display that is just right for you, a friend, your wedding, or business. Custom-made orders are non-refundable.
How do I best preserve/care for my framed insect?
With proper basic care, your insect display can last a lifetime. Avoid, as with any artwork, direct sunlight, proximity to heating, and humid conditions.
Are all items the same?
There may be very slight variations, as all specimens are obtained from nature.
Are the guts removed from the abdomen of all Blue Morpho butterflies?
Yes, guts are always removed from the abdomen because oils in the abdomen of this butterfly cause stains on their beautiful wings after they have died. Nowadays, you cannot find a Morpho butterfly on the market with guts in the abdomen.
