Hi I just bought 2 Venus fly traps & I am enchanted Found your website to buy some Sarracenia , you have some beauty's , then I was sent to your utube channel So Shall watch them , we are going into plants dormancy ,is it time to buy from you . Please advise Judy

you remind me of John Constantine's actor who played Santan : Peter Stormare

Thank you.

Also, what does that mean when you say, G7 cultivar

My leaves are flat to the soil. I worry they might get too wet. Does this mean it’s not healthy I just bought it. They don’t seem to stick straight up like yours do

I successfully germinated and grew them from seed about 2 years go. Divided into individual pots and I have 3 or 4 small juvenile plants now!

I saw your earlier video where you mentioned this method and instantly subscribed. Definitely unique to you. It really seems like the extra stimulation helps them close more tightly and digest better than the squeeze method. Day and night difference in terms of how long the trap stays shut and what's left behind.

i like the squeeze method. so much easier and it works when they are super tiny too if are really careful with tweezers. just put the food in. then squeeze the traps softly every 30 seconds or so for a few minutes. and maybe a few more times through out the day if you aren't sure its sealing.

I get live crickets and woodies (a type of cockroach) for my bearded dragon from the pet shop. Not sure of the nutrition value for the plants, but I give the odd cricket or woodie to my for traps. It seems to work well.

14:22 GENIUS! Love this idea especially for outdoor plants! I wonder how much more efficient trap closure is with the fishing line. Have you done a side-by-side comparision with the gentle pinch method? Something like feed 20 traps and for half do a gentle pinching every couple minutes and the other have just use the fishing line ... and see how many successfully close from each group.

I had a venus fly trap in middle school... then my sister fed it a grape and it died :(

Great, informative video - thanks! I've been focusing more on Nepenthes and Pinguicula so haven't grown Venus fly traps for a long time but have just bought one and ordered another 3 from Italy - they should hopefully do well outside here in the south of Spain.

Will Venus Flytraps eat bugs off of houseplants? Like if I i have gnats on a houseplant and I i put my Venus Flytrap next to it will it be able to eat any of those?

Hello Jerry, I was just wondering about rain water etc. could the water Collected from a clothes dryer condenser be alright ? Mine reads ooo ppm, just as rainwater reading. Thank you for all your videos, they’re very informative.

Very clever technique with the fishing line. Your plants are gorgeous! Subscribed

It worked my Venus fly trap ate the fly.😊🎉

Nice video! Very informative! One little thing though... might not be a good idea to keep a sundew warm during winter if conditions dont allow it to grow. You might trick it into growing when its supposed to be dormant and that can take a lot of energy out of your sundew leading to slow growth during spring. Keep it watered and protected from frost. If you do have to bring it inside because of conditions, dont put under grow lights. Just a nice garage with a tiny window is what you want during winter. Altogether thou great video!

Now that plant against the wall I have one exactly the same but it seems to be losing its leaves any tips to save my plant? It was gifted by my grandmother 😢 not sure what to do?

SO MANY thanks. I strongly want to healthfully grow these plants. YOU have well provided me with things that I need to know before beginning. I simply cannot be the only follower of you in my category. We thank you.

I had one years n years ago when i was a kid. Id like to get a couple Venus fly trap plants, I shall name them Hannibal and Wild Bill

I just got one to help control fungus gnats. Thanks for the informative video!

Question, can I grow Venus fly trap in a terrarium?

I’ve only had mine for a week now that’s why I’m watching this video but it’s already got two plies and I’m fixing to want to get another one. I love these plants.

Thank you for the info.

Thanks so much for your info. Now I have something to work with .....hopefully I'll be able to place a tag with the plant. Cheers

can you culivate carnivourstraps into paperbark trees?

Great video,very informative 👍

Hello, that hybrid Leucophylla sarracenia is probably Skywhatcher. In Europe there is a very similar hybrid called Umlauftiana, they are almost the same with minimal differences in the veins.

Beautiful plants

I purchased two Sarracenia leucophylla from you last year. I divided one but kept the other whole - all placed in larger pots. All three are absolutely beautiful and thriving thanks to all your tips. You are right though - not dividing has seen the more vigorous growth. Cheers Jerry!

Nice cultivar!

I just got a new baby from the store. The traps r not red but I am adapting it 2 more and more sunlight. It has a spider in its trap 2day but it is not closing ? 😮

I very successfully grew Sarracenia psittacina from seed about 35 years ago and have just taken a batch of mixed Sarracenia seeds out of the fridge - first time since way back then. Fingers crossed!

Just bought a cape sundew and I'm just wondering why the leaves are so short?

This was very informative. I just got my first VFT and I hope it works out. They are very interesting plants!

Note: In winter areas where it drops into the mid 20⁰F (4⁰C), ALL of the leaves may die back and turn black. Don't toss it, the below surface rhizome is most likely still alive. Thanks for the great video.

Feeding them just once a week is enough and just with one pray, there is no need to do more. Anyway if they are outside, they will catch their own food

What about water during dormancy tho?

Why is my dormant venus completely goes black and yours look still so good haha

I rescued a couple plants being marked down at Walmart. Now I am trying to find out how to grow them. Thanks. My question is, if you leave them outside all the time, how cold can it stand before I need to protect them?

What soil mixture you are using..and also which type of water and fert

Really enjoyed your video and found it very informative. I'm in the USA but the techniques are very helpful and did help me clear up some confusion I had about watering. I had been told to allow the pot to dry up for 2 or 3 days while cheching the medium to make sure it was still damp. I actually put them in a dry tray and monitor the medium daily.. You confirmed that information so Thank You!

Can I feed my nepenthes flytrap live fly maggots. I live in Mexico and there is a lot of trash around so fly maggots are easy to come by🤢

Thank you for this video. My wife bought me a very little venus flytrap for valentines day. She knows I love plants! I'm trying to learn all I can!

how much did you owe him lol

Are there any bugs I shouldn't feed my fly trap? Or will they eat anything that can fit?

Hello 👋. Very informative video, by the way. I recently rescued a couple of flytraps from a local garden centre, they were on offer and looking a little ropey. I have a question for you. One seems to have no issues catching insects, traps work perfectly. But the other one doesn't seem to be able to have its traps triggered? I've tried manually to do this by tickling the hairs inside with a re-hydrated meal worm, but non of the traps seem to function? The plant looks healthy apart from the leaves of the traps seem to curl out slightly, compared with the other plant. Any advise would be welcome. 👍 p.s. I tried the same technique on the other plant, and it works a treat.
