BIG Surprises In Carnivorous Plant Pond
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Carnivorous are unique and interesting in their own right. When they're part of a backyard pond they really do attract all sorts of organisms from insects to water spiders. It's been about 4 months since I created my pond and I'm pleased to say that the plants are thriving! Not only that, there are other unexpected organisms which I'm finding in the pond. How they got there I will never know because there are no nearby natural water formations and I certainly didn't transfer anything. However it just adds to the mystery and amazement of how mother nature always finds a way.
Join me as we discover how all the pond inhabitants are settling in and establishing themselves, Discover how how there seems to be some sort of mini ecosystem happening with the carnivorous plants attracting and catching insects and those insect then being preyed upon by other pond inhabitants.
See how the various carnivorous plants such as Sarracenia (North American Pitcher Plants), Sundews (Drosera), Venus Flytraps and various mosses are growing together to form their own wild natural look. See how some carnivorous plants have naturally dispersing their seeds and how those seeds are finding a way to establish themselves on the edge of the pond.
Happy growing to you all!

Stunning! It’s mid-winter here in Canada. Snow and -25 Celsius, so I really appreciate being able to see how your plants are doing. Excellent job! Thanks for this.

@@WRETCHEDAVION Fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing!
I am binge watching your videos, I am happy to be part of this community. I have a Drosera Burmanii Day 1 and I just received it from the mail. I hope it adopts to my environment
Hi there....I'm glad you're enjoying the videos......I'm sure your Drosera burmannii will settle in nicely into its new home......happy growing to you....😀😀
Looks great!
Thanks .....I love how creatures which I wasn't expecting are starting to make an appearance ....all in the backdrop of the carnivorous plants ......
First view! 26 seconds after published!!!
Hi Jerry. Plants look fantastic and thanks for such an informative channel. I'm based in Sydney myself and have a pond with a wetland / bogfilter. All of the plants in the wetland are planted bare root into the pebbles / rocks etc their roots naturally take up water / nutrients from the filtered water before it returns to the pond. Have you ever planted Flytraps or Pitcher plants etc without peat? As a test I planted a cheap little fang from the local nursery a few weeks ago and it seems to be fine. I will probably give it a go anyway but just curious. Thanks
Hi there ….nice to hear your natural filter is working fine. I’ve never planted the Venus Flytrap or Sarracenia into anything but peat moss based mediums. I was very surprised though to see the Drosera growing on the side of my pond in the weed liner material. To me this is very exciting and suggests that the plants (Sundews at least) can tolerate less than ideal growing mediums. After all that's why they've evolved to catch insects so that they can live in nutrient poor mediums. I’m really eager to see how the plants develop and what other seeds sprout.
Definitely give it a go …after all experimenting is so mush fun!
Andy, how did the carnivorous plants go in your bog filter? I want to introduce them to mine and wasn't sure if I could stick them into the pebbles or have them planted higher via pots.
Won't the algae help reduce the nutrients in the water (that's why the algae appear), thus minimizing the amount that gets absorb into the soil/carnivorous plants? I had read that there should be 0 nutrients for carnivorous plants as they obtain it from insects that they catch.
HI Alex ......creating my mini pond was a real eye opener and there was so many things I learnt along the way. I must admit that I wasn't expecting to see any algae sinceI i was topping the pond with filtered RO water. This should have little to no nutrients which should avoid algae from appearing (from my understanding anyway). When I saw the algae forming I was rather surprised I must admit that it had had been a while since I last changed the filter so I assumed that the water quality wasn't the best. I know that algae need sunlight to grow. I often placed guava leaves on top if the water surface (we has a beautiful guava tree next to the pond that often shed its leaves) to block out sunlight. I found that this helped slow down the algal spread in those sunlit areas.
