@@shannonherb2048 you're gonna be a fantastic VFT parent 🥰 makes me so happy to hear them being rescued!

@@plantlifeforever6994 I bought a Red Dragon from California Carnivoros and he's a beast. The rest of mine are typicals. Thanks for your feedback.

@@plantlifeforever6994 I need to mix some better substrate. The Pete Moss I have is a blend. What do you think?

There’s so much advice online it’s hard to know! Mine is in quite a tall pot, but I hadn’t considered that haha :) I don’t think it will kill the ceph if you top water, sounds like the substrate is well draining so shouldn’t be a problem - you just don’t want to let the soil stay too wet on top or it might get crown rot 👑💚 possibly the goal of top watering and is to avoid root rot as they don’t like to sit in water for a long time like you might keep a VFT in a shallow tray of water.

@plant life forever 69 ah that's alot of good information actually, thank you! I might top water *super* carefully until I repot it into something alot taller, then ill kind of transition it into tray watering. Or if I'm seeing some negative reactions to top watering, I'll put it in a super shallow pot of water. Thank you again for the info, both in the comment and video! It's a big help!

They are and they seem to be pretty good :) I'm thinking to take them back to my parents again, maybe get one of those little greenhouse boxes for them so they don't freeze! Not using that fridge again hahaha! 😅🌿💚

Thanks:) I did manage to find out what it was when I got the giant one as they're the same and that one was labelled! 💚

What did you say about grow lights?? I didn’t get it

That means £20 :) I can't remember what I said about grow lights in this video, but I use them for all my carnivorous plants because most of them need some periods of direct sun, and I am keeping them on a windowsill (they wouldn't need lights if I could keep them outside)

What's your humidity and light like, and are you keeping the soil moist? :)

@@plantlifeforever6994 I've had it on the window sill where it gets a lot of light during the day but it's not very humid. I also made the mistake of leaving it in water (with my other insectiverous plants) before I saw that this is different to the others

@@stevepatt9443 okay :) if you're keeping the soil evenly moist then probably not under watering! I think try and increase the humidity with a cool mist humidifier, and is it possible they got scorched by the sun because it's been so hot? (That happened to vlad during the heatwave we've been having in the UK)!

@@plantlifeforever6994 I think that's what's happened as I was putting them outside during the hot weather but am off work next week so can spend some time with it. Would you recommend cutting away the dried out ones so any new ones have the space to grow? I could upload a short vid to my channel if that'd help?

@@stevepatt9443 sounds like the dots are all connecting! Yeah :) I would take off any of the crispy/dying stuff so it can out energy towards the new growth! I'm always happy to check out your channel if that's easier for you!

I'm not sure why this one is more popular 😅 people love the alien penguin plant!

Thank you ❤ I have done a little more now! I wish I was more of an artist, but I'm more of a doodler! Do you have an insta or something I can check out your art?

@@plantlifeforever6994 @ migueldraws !

@@MiguelThinks holy crap! You're incredible :o followed!

@@plantlifeforever6994 i do apologize if my messages are brief as I'm having a communication glitch, but thank you! In case you are able to see this, am I allowed to DM you??

@@MiguelThinks sure I guess :)

Thank you :) eventually figured that out when I got a giant one of the same! Looking back is so funny how i was so confused 😂

It might actually be a hybrid of ventricosa and graciliflora

@@DanteTimberwolf 😂 lol at this point I'm just gonna call her pretty baby 💚🌿

@@plantlifeforever6994 Honestly that's a better option because ventrata was created before nepenthes alata got split up into different species so really it could be ventricosa and any species in the N. Alata group....

@@DanteTimberwolf wow, you know a lot about nepenthes! Do you have a collection? I would love to see 😊 thank you for sharing your knowledge! 💚

Hey Kevin! They seem to be doing good :) I'm going to be potting them up this weekend 🥰 I can't tell you how much I've missed them! Glad to hear yours have sprung back nicely! 🌱💚

Exactly 😊 constantly learning and growing!

🌿🥰 I'm sure your flytrap is so happy you saved it! It is probably younger than mine were when I got them, once they're in the right hands they will get buff super quick!

@@plantlifeforever6994 Thanks much! Any advice? A lot of the traps turned black and died but new ones keep growing in.

@@Seek1878 that's totally normal :) at the moment they should be dormant so don't be too worried about black traps! If you've not had it for long then it could also still just be adjusting! Are you keeping it inside? 😊🌿

​@@plantlifeforever6994 Yes I'm keeping it inside.

Hey Mike :) thanks! I'm sure you're getting on well with all your plants 🌿 what have you got in your collection?

@@plantlifeforever6994 I've got 5 different nepenthes, 2 different heliamphora, 2 small pots of venus fly traps, and 5-6 pots of sarracenia. I was also lucky enough to get a huge pot of a venus fly trap (as big as both of my hand spread out) a huge sarracenia purpea and 4 other 3 year old sarracenia which get to about 50cm tall. Shame I can't upload pictures on comments on RUclips. Lol.

@@mikedinni6318 wow 🤩 that's quite the collection! I'm getting the nepenthes bug at the moment whilst the others are dormant! Do you have an insta or anything where I can admire them? 😊🌿

Huh? 😅

@@plantlifeforever6994 Where do I get the pots and granite

Hey Mark 😊 I'm sure you can pull of the outdoor shed method! I'd love to hear some tips on how you did it when they wake up! 🌿

Thanks :) I'm kind of nervous about having them in the fridge but trying not to worry! I have looked at them every day so far 😂 I've still to unpot the Switzerland giant, just thinking how to get him out but preserve the sun dews 😅 I have left the DCXL in its pot and put in a bag though!

🥰🥰🥰 so in love with them

Thank you! 🥰🌿 I'm hoping the dormancy actually goes to plan this year! Haha

That was still one of the best moments ever 🥰 hello!!

Hey :) yeah! I was actually going to repot them all fairly soon, in sphagnum and perlite. Especially the nepenthes, I think they do much better in sphagnum!

Thanks! Hello from the ever sunny UK! 🥰🌿

I bought it as a big plant in March, so it's only been with me for a few months. I'd say it's at least 4/5 years old, possibly older! The little one I've had for just over a year now :)

They probably could do with some more water and light, but I tend to go lighter on the watering because of the light situation :) need me some better grow-lights!

Hey :) I would get some carnivorous plant soil and some distilled water, take it out of the pot and have a good look at the roots, see if they're mushy or not! Then after you've repotted it, just give it some TLC: keep it moist, keep the humidity above 50% if you can, and I would slowly move it into direct sun instead of putting it in direct sun straight away 😊 I hope it perks up!

At the moment, you can get a medium sized cephalotus for $65 at California carnivores website

Amazing! We can really psych ourselves out in the beginning but yeah there's no reason why you can't pull it off! 🌿💪

Thanks!

Thanks! 😊 I got it from Triffid Nurseries, they have a website! Highly recommend their plants, I visited their poly tunnel and the plants were all very well looked after!

plant life forever Great 👍🏻 Thank you

Thank you :) one day hopefully I will have a garden to put them in, a greenhouse is the dream 😍

New video coming soon! 🌻💚😊
