Have we gone crazy? Well, yeah, but that happened years ago. We were always bemused by the idea of a plant-eating a plant. For example, what would happen if you fed a Venus flytrap broccoli? Would the flytrap break it down, or would it reopen a day later and spit it out? And can a carnivorous plant get its nutrients (AKA fertilizer) from plants? We love questions like that!

Those plants flopping over,can i cut them off now.Sarracenia's
Great video! Thank you!
I bought my pitcher plants from this company. They are still doing well after four years.
Great video! Bought a VFT on 16/08/2024. It is now sitting outdoors in the sunshine in Stubbington, England. Distilled water now on the shopping list!
very well done. I am outdoor grower in VFT's native north carolina. I was concerned about the plant medium (peat moss & perlite) freezing in the pot and killing the plant during dormancy. If that 2013 plant can freeze and make it through PNW winter, I feel confident my plants will do well here.
These monthly care videos are awesome! They're really helpful and have prepared me in terms of what to expect. I have a quick question about repotting/dividing VFTs and Sarracenias though. I understand this is best done in early spring when the plants are just waking up, but I have a VFT that I have somewhat neglected for a while and is outgrowing it's pot. What harm would there be in repotting and dividing now before it gets colder and before the plants start to go dormant?
nice!
put them into floating trunks instead in plastic pots and it will be something...
i think venus is an animal
Thank you thank you thank you! When should you repot? I just bought 2 small plants (from Walmart of all places) and they're in these tiny 1" pots which seem too small. What proportion should pot be to plant size? Thanks in advance!
Thanks so much for the video it really helped!! Greece's sun is like the sun from a desert nowadays ( it wasnt like that few years ago). The plants were not doing well, a lot of discoloration, especially on the flytraps and the sarracenias. Imagine a rubricorpora losing its color and become green. I think high UV's destroying the color of the plants along with high temperatures. So i have a question, a shade cloth or polyethylene-polycarbonate (lots of carnivorous plants owners grow them in these greenhouses) that blocks full UV's spectrum is better for greenhouse glazing material for our plants. Most flower greenhouses allow a percent of UV ( UVA) to color their flowers (UV makes the plant to produce anthocyanins and do secondary metabolism), what about the carnivorous plants??
Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you found the video helpful. I'm curious about rubricorpora losing color. It wasn't the experience with our employee who was featured in that video. Whent that plant loses color, it's because it was heavily shaded or the soil wasn't correct (perhaps, not acidic enough). 30-40% shade cloth is sufficient in desert situations.
@@SarraceniaNorthwest Thanks for the reply!! So the rubricorpora was taking 6 or 8 hour of direct sun midday sun. The soil was peat and perlite, fully acidic. The same soil goes to my spittacinas, they also take the same amount of sunlight. The psittacinas on the other hand loved the heat and the burning sun, not even a sunburn or discoloration, The flavas and venus flytraps like B52 or dcxl lose their full color, and their vigorus growth and became green.. In spring everything is perfect but in the sunmmer everything starts to decline exept psittacinas and some sub-tropical sundews.
Boiling the water to remove minerals only works if you're distilling it. The minerals will stay in the pot while you collect the evaporated water
How to make a fly trap big? Will it grow big in a big pot or are they a small plant regardless
Thank you for subscribing! Size is relative, and I'm not certain what you mean by "large." Most varieties of flytraps grow to only 5 inches tall with only 1-inch traps. Others are shorter. Traps max out at 2 inches, even with so-called giant forms.
@@SarraceniaNorthwest I mean the diameter of the plant if I have a 8 inch diameter pot will I have a bigger diameter of growing fly traps from the center or is the 3 inch diameter pot that most traps you buy come in as big around as one plant is, do they spread out
Vary useful information, interesting group of plants
Thanks, hope you're both well.
Thank you! We're doing well here. Hope you're enjoying your summer!
Excellent video. To the point and practical.
Thank you for watching. Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video and information
Thank you for watching. Glad you found the information helpful.
Thank you great info
Thanks for watching!
The nursery I bought it from was treating it like an indoor tropical plant. So that was mistake number 1. This video was beyond helpful! Hope I can save my plant
Thank you for watching. Glad you found the video helpful. Good luck with your new plant! Make sure to also watch our monthly care videos. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/monthly-carnivorous-plant-care/
Thanks for the video, we always look forward to seeing them each month.
Glad you like them!
So much valuable information in a quick video. Thank you!
Glad you found the video helpful!
Really one of the good guys. Anyone like us that care and spend our lives trying to keep plants alive can relate, especially those plants from all over the world, African desert to jungle moist. We need to study and learn from every access point to keep them alive. Thanks

Hi, Tommy!
Jacob! Will I see you at the PDX Reptile Expo on the 10th? I really appreciate these videos!
We won't be there this month since we're booked for a private event. We're not certain if we'd be there in January as well for a variety of factors. But, we'll be here on Labor Day weekend!
@@SarraceniaNorthwest that's a bummer I'm sorry to hear
I have planted mines while growing but was careful. I was switching pot to better pot and they are thriving.

Got your plants today and they look great! Thank you!
Glad to hear the plants arrived safely. Have fun with them!
Is Summer in central Italy fine for temperature or is it too hot?
These plants are used to the heat. They originate from a region where 40°C occurs regularly in summer. They are very resilient plants! Watch our monthly care videos for more information. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/monthly-carnivorous-plant-care/
What is the substitute for perlite??
Thank you for watching. You can use silica sand, river sand, or pumice.
Perlite is volcanic in origin and has a large percentage of pore space due to gases being evolved from the magma during eruption. The light color is an indication of the chemical composition. Light colored igneous rocks are referred to as "felsic" and contain high percentages of silica (more than 65%). Metal ions include mostly sodium and potassium which do not contribute to alkalinity. Felsic rocks are also referred to as "acidic" igneous rocks because when they weather they generate acidity. If you use dark colored scoria, which has similar pore space like perlite, you could potentially add alkalinity when it weathers because it is a mafic igneous rock (often referred to as "basic" igneous rock). Basic igneous rock has lower silica content and higher magnesium and calcium content. As the name suggests, basic igneous rocks (dark black and green) generate alkalinity when they weather.
Perlite is porous but not permeable. Adding small amounts of perlite is adding impermeable material without increasing porosity. I agree with your explanation of the higher concentration of perlite. The higher percentage of perlite increases the chance of grain to grain contact creating greater pore networks resulting in greater permeability. Nice video and experiment.
If you are unsure of the composition of your gravel, and you are trying to avoid marble/limestone which will drive up the pH, a simple test is to place some of it in vinegar. If you see small bubbles forming around the pebbles that is an indication that you have marble/limestone and you should avoid using it.
Im in the UK, our weather is so unpredictable but our winters arent really that cold most of the time. Do i still need to mist it during the winter months?
Thank you for watching! We don't recommend misting at all for any of our plants. These plants are much more resilient than you might think. We don't provide any special care other than what we mention in the video. Make sure to also watch our monthly care videos for more information, especially when we get into winter. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/monthly-carnivorous-plant-care/
Goals
It all starts with one plant, and before you know it, you got a damn nursery and a new career.
Any update on that experiment video? I live in a zone 4A, so having my carnys outside in the summer is great at 25-34c however winters can snap down to -40c so I tend to have a mix of indoor growlights supplementing outside patio direct sunlight. It can be hard to find information that doesn't contradict the last thing you read! I currently have 4 Sunblaster white LED growlights set up next to a large west facing window.
Thanks for watching. We hit a snag with the video. We have had to restart the experiment. I'm not certain when the a complete video to share. Sometimes, you just have to run your own experiments to see what works for your particular microclimate. If you're satisfied with how your plants are growing, then stick to what you're doing. If it looks like the plants need more light intensity, then move the light source closer or use a different setup. If the plants are burning or getting bleached, move the lights further away or change the daylight hours. That's pretty much the gist of working with artificial lights.
Where can I get one of those rock looking pots that you show at 8.35?
Thank you for watching. We have a video about how to make them, though you will have to search the internet for the a source for these rocks. We also have a difficult time finding a reliable source. ua-cam.com/video/VvBlfJUqlYc/v-deo.html
@@SarraceniaNorthwest thank you
would it be safe to say orchid mix is good for potting nepenthes?
Thank you for watching. Orchid mixes don't hold sufficient moisture. It's best to use the mixes we mention in the video.
Thank you so much, that was fantastic! I'm three months into tending my VFT and have been doing things properly, for the most part, except that I've been supplementing the rain water with tap water. I'll correct that immediately. It appears to be doing fairly well for now. What worries me is that I'm on the East Coast, ~ 600 miles north of Wilmington. I'm in USDA zone 7b, while Wilmington is 8b. Should I burlap the plant in winter?
Thank you for watching! Also watch our Volume 1 playlist. The last video is about winter care. It'll give you some helpful pointers. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/carnivorous-plant-videos/

Thank you
You're welcome! Thank you for watching.
Should I grow them in full sun even if it is really hot, like 35 or 40⁰C?
Thank you for watching. In the plant's natural habitat those temperatures occur during the summer. We've reached those temperatures for a week at our nursery earlier this month, and we don't do anything special for them. They sit outside throughout the year as you see in the video. Watch the clip starting at 1:29.
@@SarraceniaNorthwest thank you for the help, I appreciate it.
Thank you for your knowledge of these plants!
My pleasure! Glad you found the information useful. Make sure to also watch our monthly care videos for helpful tips throughout the year. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/monthly-carnivorous-plant-care/
i heard that filling the trays with sand so that the water is still there but not enough for the larvae could be useful as well, but i'm not sure tho
Thanks for watching! That can work, but it's very impractical. If you have a lot of plants, it can get very heavy.
@@SarraceniaNorthwest thanks for the info, i don't have a lot of them so i don't have to worry about them getting heavy, its just that with such a few pots it seems a bit much to buy the things mentioned in the video, i'm glad that can work, thanks
The part where he feeds the trap broccoli that’s plant cannibalism
I always loved fly traps but mine always died, i live in a tropical coutry so i'm not so sure about letting them be outdoors, also, is it ok to just water them with rain water? or even not actually water them and let rain do that? i never know what is the best course of action
Thank you for watching the video! Lack of proper sunlight is the number one cause of death for these plants, so definitely set them outside, even in a tropical climate. However, it's always best to grow plants suitable to your growing conditions. If you want to grow flytraps in a tropical climate, you may need to accept that they will live for a year, at the most. That's just the nature of cold hardy perennials if they don't have a cold winter dormancy. There are numerous tropical carnivorous plants that would thrive for you, such as Nepenthes, Mexican butterworts, and tropical sundews. I encourage you to consider growing these plants, instead. You will be much happier with the results.
@@SarraceniaNorthwest THanks for the info, i always found the flytraps fascinating because of the hability to trap insects like that but i never got to keep one for a long time before they die. I didn't know about the butterworts and sundews, i will give them a try if i have the chance, thank you very much for your answer
