Good informative video yet again, I have just moved all my Carnivorous plants into the plastic greenhouse for the winter, fingers crossed they all survive! 😊
I find it interesting that the Venus Flytrap's range is in the coastal plain of the Carolinas, but someone has been transplanting them into the northern range of the American Alligator in Arkansas and extreme Southeast Oklahoma swamps. It has also been found in bordering Texas swamps according to the Ar. Wildlife officer I spoke to. I was fishing near Texarkana in the Red River bottoms and was walking to a spot I couldn't get the boat to and I saw some red in the grass and sure enough it was a VFT. I then noticed they were bunched up here and there. Ranger said they won't try to get rid of them because a hard Winter already destroyed a lot of them, but if they catch the person who planted them it would be a big fine and jail time. Considered an invasive plant outside the Carolinas.
I have to do fridge dormancy and have been for nearly 20 years now. Flytraps and a few sarrs will go in the fridge the end of next week. As well as a few binatas and filiformis. Wake up time starts the beginning of February under florescent lights. Repotting is done in dec. and Jan. then back in the fridge until Feb. It all gives us something to do during the cold winter months to help pass the time!
Thanks for this video I don't have a greenhouse yet but I have a cold frame/mini greenhouse for my Venus fly traps, my drosera aliciae and pinguicula's are being kept indoors over winter. But I'll definitely will be getting a proper greenhouse in new year so I can grow sarracenia's as I find them to be beautiful even when they're going through dormancy. Again thanks for making this video it's a great help
As a 1st year CP owner I found this very useful. It be be GREAT if you could revisit the same plants now by way of comparison. Some of mine look totally dead, esp the Drosera but I at least have a little confidence now that I may see them again. Keep up the good work.
In some of my older videos I have shown the same plants coming out of dormancy and what to look out for. I will do a new video this year showing the plants from this video when they start coming out of dormancy in another month or so
Another great video - really enjoyed. You mentioned gammae for sale. I’m not on instagram but am on Facebook and wonder how I can buy gammae from you.??? Your greenhouse looks fantastic with your leucophylla hybrids.
Hi Ken! Gemmae will be ready a little later on in the year around November time. I will pop you on my list and let you know when it is ready. I am on Facebook so you can message me on there 😁
You made me smile, I'm with you totally there though my plant buying urges tends to happen at any time of the year 🙄 . Great to see your plants and their state of play. Thanks for another interesting video.
Thank you for such an interesting video. My sarracenias live outside all year round; didn't think of putting them in my (small) greenhouse. Your greenhouse ones look amazing - are they ones that flourish in the Autumn/winter as opposed to mine which flower in summer and all die back in winter? Which is which? Also how wet do you keep your flytraps and droseras in winter? Glad I have discovered your channel!
Thanks for watching! With the greenhouse my plants will be ahead of mine grown outside by a couple of weeks due to weather and temperature. Mine will all die back for winter yet due to the weather this year I have a few which have held on longer, some also won’t die down completely as where I am from we don’t get as harsh of a winter. I keep them damp but make sure they don’t dry out. I
This is a really interesting video! I bought a Sarracenia "Smoorii" from a garden centre last spring and it's been sitting on my sunny kitchen windowsill, doing a great job of catching flies! I had no idea about dormancy or how to look after it, except for realising it needed to be kept wet. We are in Scotland and I think the Winter would be too harsh for it to be outside. But now most of the trumpets have got brown tops and the winter leaf thingies too. Should I just leave them to die off or best to cut them off?
Thank you. Yes just wait until most of the pitcher has gone brown and then cut it off the same with the phyllodia. I have a couple of carnivorous plant grower friends in Scotland who keep sarracenia flava and purpurea outside year round in a bog with no issues if you wanted to get some more plants and place them outside 😁
@@carnivorous_plant_girl Many thanks for your reply - we do have a pond in our little field, outside my kitchen window, but the level varies so much that I'm not sure it would be consistently wet enough for it. May try for next year, but would hate for this one to die off now, feeling a bit emotionally attached to it!!

I’m sure they’ll do great. Happy growing 😁

I have to keep my sarracenia outside. The greenhouse I had it in heats up to much with the sun. New fear of the wind😅
I can relate there, my greenhouse gets really hot in summer! The ones I keep outside I tie up with string before it gets too windy!
Just found your channel thank-you so much really helpful.
No problem. Hope you enjoy my channel 😁😁

Sounds like a great set up! Nice to hear from you

You won’t regret getting a greenhouse! You’ll be open to getting so many new plants and it quickly becomes an obsession! 😁

Haha I’m glad to hear that, I am glad I am not the only one who wants to buy plants this time of year!
