Thank you! This is my first winter with my flytrap and pitcher plants. I'll go trim them right now. I'm looking forward to expanding my carniverous garden this spring.
They are amazing plants and quite addicting! Good luck!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub yes they are! can you make a video about outdoor venus flytrap dormancy please? Because i grow mine outside.
I find your videos very helpful.
Thank you!
my plants barely get any black traps most of them are normal and they already had their first frost with the planters frozen solid
That's good! Some of mine are like that too. If there isn't any dead growth, nothing to cut away. Just keep an eye on them. Sometimes a good freeze can kill a couple off. May need trimming in a few weeks or so, or maybe not!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub I check on them every day. they had black traps here and there and I removed them once most of the trap and leaf turned black. they look fine and didnt seem to mind the frost now we have temperatures above 0 but below 12 degrees which is fine for dormancy
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub My Alien has a trap thats half black ( one side of the trap is black The other is not)
Is it ok that I keep my flytrap inside the house it can get to 75 degrees in the house I put it outside furling the day and I bring it in a night it gets down to 55-56 degrees at night is that ok I’m afraid in winter it’s going to die in the house being to hot
Can I take my flytrap and transport it to a bigger pot with sphagnum moss
Hello Carnivorous Plants Hub!
I just have a question can my Sarracenia Purpurea skip winter dormancy?
I try hard not to, but I would imagine skipping it for one year would probably be okay. Just make sure it goes dormant next year. If possible, I do recommend putting it through dormancy though.
Thank you. I will put them on winter dormancy this year
Im just afraid they might die they only have 4 pitchers (2 big ones 2 small ones and and 1 new growth)
I just bought a Venus fly trap from a place near me that was kept in somewhere extremely hot and humid it has not gone into dormancy yet and it’s the middle of winter what should I do?
The problem I run into is that, in the lower light and cooler temperatures, mold begins to spread on the moss and dead foliage. I can't imagine it's healthy for the plant.
remove the moss and dead parts
Improve air circulation around the plant
Having a fan of some sort can definitely help with mold and mildew. Also, as stated above, try to remove anything that seems to be growing thr mold. Like in the video, any excess moss or dead traps can be cut away to help prevent mold and mildew.
Thanks for the video and happy new year!
I think my issue may be that my flytraps haven't really gone into dormancy. They definitely don't have blackened leaves like yours, maybe the occasional yellow.
I keep them in a closed-off balcony where the temperatures don't really drop enough I think.
We've had below zero maybe 1-2 nights but generally, the temperatures are between 40-55 Fahrenheit, going down to maybe 34 during the night generally.
Dormancy is triggered by lower temps but also by reduced photo period. Some would argue that the photo period reduction is more important than the reduced temperatures. You want to make sure they are getting less light as well, mine are only getting around 4 hours a day right now. No black leaves doesn't mean they aren't going dormant. Some of mine don't have many black leaves either, this seems to depend on cultivar and age a bit.
awe i forgot my 10per off
Quick question! How do you avoid gnats when soil has to stay moist at all times for carnivorous plants??
I don't have a huge issue with gnats, just inside. Inside a have a bunch of pings and sundews that really cut the population of gnats down. People do swear by mosquito bits. You put them in your tray of water and they don't harm the plant. amzn.to/3RHvta4
Dear Reader,
Mr. 'Carnivorous Plants Hub' is very good in explaining the basic points of attention for Venus Flytraps. Very clear and on an practical level.
So I think it would be a great 'service' if he would also make this sort of video's about other sort of carnivorous plants.
How to sow them, how to maintain let's say drosera or pinguicula's (in the winter).
As an example: my very young drosera filiformis has dried up above the ground, and I've cut this of. So now I look at more or less empty flower pots. Is this normal or has my plant died?
I couldn't find this sort of basis information.
So with his knowledge, Mr. 'Carnivorous Plants Hub' can be a good source of information about the care of other carnivorous plants.
With Kind Regards,

Hi sir, long time, I don’t know if you received my last email from around 2 3 months with updates but I did this now. I didn’t know and I did it with my Supernova, Chupacabra and Towering Giant. It was a bit of q mess separating was is moss and dirt and snapping off the dead but found a bit of soil in the garage. Hope your holidays were great ❤️ blessings and hope to hear back from you
Will flytraps go into dormancy naturally if left outside during 20°F nights and 50°F days?
I did refrigerator dormancy last year and lost mine :( also will they stay partially green during the dormancy? Or will they go completely black and brown?
They usually have a mix of staying green and black dead leaves. It's always a little different from plant to plant. But, all black and dead looking is not what you want. The reduced Temps is only part of the dormancy equation, you also need reduced photo period.
This came at just the right time. I'm attemping dormancy in Vegas and I've been really stressed about it since it's literally still 70 out here some days. I wasn't sure if they had actually gone dormant. These are the only plants I've ever been able to keep alive thanks to your videos and if I murder them now I'll never hear the end of it at work😂
Great video as the comment said this came at a great time haha i dont have a fly trap but i got some pitchers that are being kept outside and now i know i need to do some maintenance lmao keep up the great work enjoy
How long should they be kept in lower temperatures?
10 to 14 weeks.
First time serious VFT owner since this past summer.... I have a few. I noticed the red ones are not faring as well... is this normal in your experience?
It's hard to say for sure, there are a lot of cultivars. Are you referring to like a red dragon, one that is 100% reddish maroon or are you referring to a cultivar that just turrns really red under lots of light? I will say, the cultivars like red dragon or maroon monster, I have noticed that they do tend to be a little more finicky with care.
Thanks for the reply! No, these are RED from cultivar... I bought a Clayton Red and and another long stem red variant that were great in late summer..... but I found they need a little more water in high heat.
I'm in NJ which is technically cooler than North Carolina but still the summers can be blistering.... I think I just need to keep the "reds" super hydrated in high heat. Thx for the the response.

What kind of moss do you use for your flytraps? One of my biggest problems with mine this year was that we would get rain and that would push the traps down and make them close with a mouthful of peat and perlite. So I'm looking to put something on the top layer of the soil to protect the traps from that.
I have seen people use live peat moss, or they buy dead sphagnum moss and use water and a cup to ‘’revive’’ it and use it, or you could just keep the soil moist and add a small layer of pure peat moss to the top for moss to grow on its own.
The moss on here is the moss that typically comes from the plants that California Carnivores send. I believe it's a star moss. I've got a couple of pots of it growing by itself. Sometimes I'll just pull clumps off and put them in a pot to keep some. It looks really nice with pings and sundews, you do have to stay on top of it though, it will takeover. You have to combat the aesthetic with functionality. It looks nice, but the plants are better off without it, for the most part. Its just another plant with a root system that competes with the carnivorous plants.
