How to Grow Sarracenia (North American Pitcher Plants)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Sarracenia are easy to grow. All they need is soil (Peat moss and perlite) that is free of any added chemicals or fertilizers, Rain/RO/Distilled water, and to be placed in full sun. They should be moist all they time, and will go dormant in the winter. They can get very cold (frozen) without damage.
Eddie Vedder really knows his plants! Lol. Great vid dude, seriously.
I live in Southern California and I accidentally left my purpurea outside during a freak heat wave, and I forgot to water him before I left. When I got home, he was shriveled up and the media was completely dry. I rehydrated him and waited. He must have started going into dormancy around that time, because all of his new pitchers were really small & I couldn't feed him any bugs to help him recover. It's March now and he's producing the most vibrant and beautiful pitchers which are getting bigger and bigger! Very hardy plant
I knew how you felt.
Nice one! Just bought one of these, and your video answered all my questions. Your video was short, sharp and full of useful information. Good job! Thanks!
Thank You. You literally answered all the questions I have about minding my new pitcher plant. Concise, informative and engaging.
I'm stoked that I stumbled upon your videos because I just procured pitchers and fly traps. Can you make some more plant care guide videos? They've been so helpful and informative. Ferns would be awesome because I always kill them. Thanks!
Such a great video.I just bought my first sarracenia,actually rescued it,I hope it bounces back.
Thank you for posting these videos.. my husband is really getting into carnivorous plants and your care tips really help a lot.
This was just perfect, no bs video.
You literally answered every question i had.
Greetings from The Netherlands. Thank you so much for your Sarracenia care advice. I've been growing orchids with success for years. I decided to diversify and try my hand at carnivorous plants For the present, I've only a Drosera Capensis and a Sarracenia flava. Both are doing really well though. They're disgustingly healthy plants. I'm sure as my knowledge grows, I'm going to thoroughly enjoy growing and caring for carnivorous plants. Please keep updating with tips and tricks 😄!
Super useful. I recently obtained a dormant cluster and have been observing it daily. A few days ago I noticed a few of those blade like leaves coming out from the soil. I had a feeling it must be because of light, thanks for the useful info!
Thanks so much! Once I found out what type pitcher plant (North American), there it was sitting on your table, lol! That's what I get for buying one of those kits from a big box store that has a Venus Flytrap & here-in to be known as a Sarracenia in a plastic greenhouse box. No classification, no internet go-to for further instructions, not even a company name. Have had it under a grow light with increasing direct sunlight and it looks great!
Now onto separating the 2 into individual planters. Just hoping the separation goes well - wish me luck!
Thanks for the tips! 👍🏼
Good video answered a lot of my questions.
He's so smart and handsome too
Great video! Didnt know they could get frozen solid, Thanks for the vid!
Going to school for botany around this time next year, to work in a green house like that would be heaven! I'd never go home lol
It was pretty cool. Nice place to store all my plants while at school since I had so many... until my crazy ex -f totaled my car, so I told my boss I had to go home for spring break to deal with insurance. He forgot about me requesting this, then got pissed off and fired me, and told me to never ask him for a reference letter or to even put him on my resume. It was hilarious.
@@TheBonsaiJungle so that's your personal green house? Lucky! I'm running out of room at my apartment for plants. I don't get much sun, so there's not many choices. I have about 17 different plants, 25 total. The VFT and pitcher plants are my favorite tho. Really great to care for and watch!
That's awful about your boss tho. Hopefully you found a better place to work.
Oh no, this is the greenhouse I worked at. Currently I only have some outdoor patio space, garage for dormancy, and one room with poor lighting indoors.
Have you gone to school for botany, or how did you get into working at green houses? Thinking I could start a job at one local to me to possibly count as an internship.
Nope, Zoology. I have only ever worked at this one greenhouse. It was an interesting story, since I was always into tropical plants as well as animals I had my own collection of carnivorous plants and was visiting daily out of curiosity, so the boss kind of got to know me. One day he pulled up with a trailer with all his plants to move into the greenhouse for winter (palms, plumber, hibiscus, etc, that he kept in his yard) so I was unloading it with him to see all he had. He offered me a job after that. Great 3 years there until the universe decided to fuck me over lol. Oh well, I have a position as a naturalist at a wildlife center currently, and work my ass 7 days a week, so it doesn't really matter whether I have that greenhouse reference or not lol. Just a hobby for me at the end of the day. One day I will build my own, but I would be satisfied with one of those smaller ones, maybe like 20' sq. ft. of area, mainly for my growing flytrap, sundew, and sarracenia collection, as well as Nepenthess, and two cycads.
Glad I found your channel
I think the flatten leaves just conserves energy and helps with photosynthesis like you stated earlier. It is much faster growing than traditional pitchers.
My pitcher plants are mostly dry on the inside but they do catch a lot of insects. I have snipped off dying pitchers, opened them and found them to be full of flies and other insects.
Only purpurea and purpurea hybrids are full of water. The others excrete digestive juices very minimally and let bugs decompose in their own a bit anyways, so that’s completely normal.
thanks for the advice man, can't wait till mine get their first pitchers =D
I live in northern Texas and in the summer it keeps dying heart so I’m going to put it a little farther away from the window
And the water probably will dry up if you have the purple pitcher plant and if you put too much water in then the plant will drink it
Just recently got a hybrid sarracenia in the mail. I had these plants in the past and one of the pitchers looks like it started to die, I hope it doesn't mean its dying. Its in a water saucer.
I have a S. purpurea and they do not have the ability to digest insects like other carnivorous plants. So they have hired (or at least support) assorted invertebrates (inquilines) to live in the pitcher and do that for them. Most are some species of mosquito, midge, rotifer, or fly that will feed on the drowned insect that flies into the open pitcher. The plant then absorbs these nutrients as it is dissolving/decaying in the water.
Purpurea do have enzymes like the other sarracenia, just at very low levels. But yes, their digestion is greatly aided by various organisms that will live in the pitchers and break down the prey. They don't even really need the invertebrates though, as they also have populations of bacteria in the pitchers which will aid the digestions and conversion of nutrients as well.
Thanks for your videos!
My pitcher plants are still really small and I notice when the pitcher starts to form then brown and seem to die. At first I thought it was too close to my light source and moved it further away and still same thing with new cutes.
Thanks
Keith X I found that outdoors is the best for Sarracenia. They really need a large amount of full sun outside to grow properly. Inside year round would require hundreds or even thousands of dollars for growlights.
Dude you look like Cisco from The Flash 🤣🤣🤣 Great video bro 💪🏾💪🏾
Very good, informative video!
Thank You very much! I just got it and didn't know anything about iz😘
nice tutorial bro.
Thanx for the awesome content!👍🏼👌🏼
I live in chandler, az where the humidity is too low for these. How should i grow them? The humidity only peaks at 46%
Ignore the humidity, just make sure they don’t burn in full sun in the summer. I would buy a shade cloth.
Are you in SD? There’s a Mount Helix in east county. I’m looking a video about gray pitchers in Southern California areas.
How can I fertilize my sarracenia in a flat where there are no insects?
Kilo Ren, is that you?
Can you use the soil with the odor free manure in it?
To put it in full sunlight, would there be sunburn?
Great tips!
I'm trying to grow some serracenia purpurea from seed, any tricks for that?
Very good video. I have a question, I live in a tropical weather, can this plant be in a full sun all year?
I need some of these lol love the video
I repotted my pitcher plant with a mixture of short fibre peat, sand and purlite; well my concern is that leaves are turning from a green to a brown, and only two new leave have grown since spring.
Edwin C****** I would need to know more to get a better idea of what’s going on. What kind of dormancy did it get? How much light is it getting/where is it located? How often do you water it/ is it standing in water? Are the new pitchers looking healthy?
Liguus I live in Southern Ontario, and we had a mild winter and it was stored in the sun room all winter that never gone below 5c. In the spring I replanned it when our new puppy pulled it out of the pot, so I put it on a different table that the dog can’t get at it; I put it under a grow light and two new leaves started to grow one with a pitcher but hasn’t changed since April. Now that it’s 24c - 34c outside I put it outside and watered it every other day.
Liguus, I’ve taken pictures of the plant and it’s only the two new leaves that are going brown
Edwin C****** it’s probably stress from everything that’s happened then. New pitchers should emerge in the coming weeks with no problems.
Liguus thank you, should I leave it in a bowl with rain water outside? Oh and cut off the leaves with the bite marks and the old dead pitchers.
Hi! Thanks for uploading such a simple but yet informative video for bigginers like me. I have seen many video but got more confused than ever. But since I have watched your video it gave me all the knowledge which I have needed to look after my trumpet pitcher plant. Can you also make a video for drosera care for all year around including winter. Thanks 😊
Haa Khan yes I didn’t really think of it since the temperate drosera can he grow just like Venus flytraps, and the tropical drosera indoors like a houseplant all year. I am making updated versions of all these old grow guides so I will add this to the list. Thanks.
I live in Memphis, TN (zone 7b) and my various sarracenia do fine outside and throughout most of the winter until about February when they give up the ghost. I guess they should be outside instead of me bringing them in. Is there a temp I should look for, to bring them in on colder winter days? Thanks!
I have a Sarracenia alata full of bugs and it’s now turning brown where the bugs are, should I trim those pitchers off? Also I live in the valley of California where it gets up to 110 is it ok to have them outside in the shade?
You can cut them off, but I would recommend waiting until a larger portion of the pitcher is brown, just kind of let them do their own thing. They will turn brown and die if they are eating a lot of insects, but they still get nutrients from them even if some parts of the pitchers are "burned" from the decay. I would wait until the entire top of the pitcher is brown. One trick people use if they want to have "showy" pitchers for an extended period of time is to put cotton in the top so insects can no longer enter. As for the heat: 110 is a little hot so I would probably put them in the shade once it starts getting past 100.
Vermiculite will work?
Please help! Is it okay that my plant came grown in just plain moss,like that would grow in a yard? Or on a rooftop. It’s growing wonderful with lots of babies in that but I’m still unsure..
Often times moss spores get on the substrate surface and start to grow. Are you sure this is not just the top layer? take a large chunk of moss off and see if peat/sphagnum is underneath.
How many hours of light for the winter? Thanks love your vids!
If it's cold they don't need any light. mine sit in the garage in complete darkness between late november and march, maybe 20*F-50*F between those months, so anywhere in that range they shouldn't really need any light, they aren't actively growing enough to utilize much of the light.
@@TheBonsaiJungle Perfect! thank you
Thanks for all the great info. I always wanted to get Dana's Delight. Can I really plant these in the ground all year up here in New York State? I've never seen one here or at any of the garden centers.
I thought it was a bit weird to see these pitcher plants active zones in the northern states, but i guess the more temperate tolerant variety grow there in the wild as well
I enjoy your video's. I have an Asian pitcher plant, which has a lot of new top growth, but no pitchers are growing, and the old ones have dried up totally. Is there something I can do to encourage pitcher growth?
jojoberrypie they are kind of picky which is why I don't grow many of them. Make sure it never dries out and increase the humidity. Where is it growing?
How do they take the 90's and 100's in direct sun.
Very good, just keep them sitting in at least an inch of water all summer
great video. When should I repot my Sarracenia?
John Owles when the substrate gets old after approximately 4 years, or when the rhizome grows many divisions and the plant is overcrowded in the pot (grown to the edge all the way around). In that case you can either pot it up into a larger container, or split apart the rhizome divisions and plant single plants into smaller pots again.
Yeah I left mine outside over the winter and they didn’t make it. I have it in my basement in a south window.
Francis C some of my videos need to be redone since the better answers are more complicated. They are cold hardy but only to a certain extent. Some frosts are ok, and for a good rest period the temp should be 30-45F IMO. When I had my Sarracenia indoors it was too warm and screwed everything up. Purpurea is one that can be frozen solid in ice though, for that one it doesn’t matter.
Liguus your videos are great. I wasn’t trying to call you out lol I was more if less talking about my luck. Honestly I think the on and off temps killed it. The constant thawing and refreezing my poor guy couldn’t keep up. Maybe if I buried the pot or put some kind of insulation around it to regulate it better.
I should note I’m in south jersey and my sarracenia purperea was a native.
That's most likely the case, a lot of freeze & thaw cycles are not good. I don't press my luck with the sarracenia though and have them in containers heated to 45-50*F in the dead of winter, then the get to about 30 in February for a while when there's no longer a threat of below freezing weather. I used to just keep them all frozen in the garage but it turns out everything other than pursuer hates that, so I was given incorrect info back in the day. If you watch my latest VFT winter container video you'll see what I house the sarracenia in...but I will also be making a sarracenia winter update video soon.
Liguus I’ll check that out man and keep my eye out for the latest video. Thanks.
thanks
Hi, first of all thank you for what you are doing! You save plant's lives! Few days ago I bought 3 carnivous plants on impulse and ended up with a new obsession. Now spend all free time on reserch how to take care of what I've got. I'm trying to find out how big they going to grow. I have sarracenia flava, 6 inches, it looks like the small plant on your table. Is it really going to grow up to 18-24 inches indoors? Same with drosera capensis alba, it is now a bunch of plants, maybe 10, the size about 2 inches. I plan to split them all, should I expect them to grow up to 5 incehs? I got a venus fly trap and I know it is an adult plant, and I supposed that all others were adult as well and now I'm a bit confused... Thank you!
Vald Vot tak Vot Sarracenia and capensis will definitely grow larger, pretty much to the sizes you said. The smaller ones on the table are just young. Even the biggest one in this video is not showing true adult sized pitchers.
Thank you for prompt answer! I have limited space and alreaady received 3 more plants (red dragon, drosera binata, cobra lily) from Ebay seller. They are tiny but awesome. Now I see it's time to stop. Hope I'm not going to kill them all.
Thanks man
How do they put up with hurricane level wind? I'd like one of these plants but hearing that they don't like indoors, it will need to survive the winds we get on our plateau. I wouldn't want it to get wind scorched.
In the wild the tall grasses they grow among help prop them up, but growing in pots it usually helps to have some sticks in there and then tie a circle of string around the pitchers to keep them up.
awesome!
"super easy plant to take care of..." "Step 1 - reverse osmosis"
If you have great direct sunlight inside your house will that work as well ? I live in northern California and the winters can be extremely cold
It is rare to have good sun inside a house unless it is one of those "green room or sun room" type of things. These really need full overhead sun, a lot more than a typical window can provide, not only because it's only light from one direction, but the glass filters out a lot of the light as well. I have not seen any successful cases of indoor sarracenia without supplementation with artificial light. Also they do need a cold dormancy so inside your house will kill them as well if they are warm. must be 40-50*F. I made a new video about winter flytrap containers. That would work in a garage or unheated shed. Maybe a cold basement if you have one instead would be fine for dormancy? If anything, I guess a refrigerator will have to do. But still, you are looking at least at some additional very high quality grow lights inside.
Nice video, thanks :)
I recently bought a Sarracenia Purpurea here in sunny Western Australia. Firstly, it's been getting a lot of direct sunlight and it's formed dead (or burnt?) tips on the old leaves/pitchers. I keep it very well watered but I'm wondering if it's received too much sun? Or is it a case of those leaves not being acclimatized?
Secondly, it has some nice new growth coming along. However, the first newly formed pitcher is huge! It's easily 3 times the size of everything else. Any ideas why?
Cheers!
if a pitcher gets brown that just means the plant wants to get rid of it, just like leaves on a tree get brown. The pitcher probably got that big cause the plant got allot of sunlight, the more the better
I love where I live, because it's FREAKIN zone 1b
Beautiful location for your video. Did you use to work or volunteer at a botanical garden? I always wanted to experience that, I bet a person could learn so much from the experts at those places. Also would be like going to work at heaven everyday haha.
WaterspoutsOfTheDeep I used to work at a university greenhouse
I've recently bought a Sarracenia and it arrived to me growing out of a moss ball. It is hanging inside a plastic pot, not fully covering the inside area of the pot. Should I replant it in potting soil? Should I place it (the moss ball and the pot) inside a bowl with water?
Yes, that’s a strange novelty set up which isn’t that good in the long run. I would put it in a normal pot, use either sphagnum moss or peat moss.
What would be a rough limit for cold tolerance ?
Señor Gordon Freeman I would keep them between 20*F-45*F all winter for the best results. Warmer than that it’s not true dormancy, if colder than that you can get some rhizome damage if they are not protected I.e. mulched over with hay or in a cold frame.
What if i keep it by the kitchen window where lots of sunlight comes in?
Windows do not provide enough sunlight.
Wich one is better sarracenia carolina yellow jacket ,scarlett belle or bug bat. easy to care?I live in southern California zone 10.
All three of those are hybrids and they grow very well. I like Scarlet Belle the most since It gets very intense vivid colors on it. So Cal should be fine if you sit the pots in 1/2-1 inch of distilled water during hot weather.
im just getting started in carnivorous plants. looking for something smaller. what is the species closes to you that is bright green
S. leucophylla Hurricane Creek White. It grows full size though (multiple feet tall). S. purpurea is always a nice species. one of my favorites.
If i already know how to grow venus flytraps, will sarracenia be much different?
No, in my opinion they are easier and grow with more vigor than the vft so you shouldn’t have any issues as long as you can provide full sun
@@TheBonsaiJungle Great! i live in arizona so we have full sun everyday:)
Hey wolfpath. thanks for the videos. i just got a generic adult fly trap, a baby "wally" fly trap (I put it in the put for now with the adult one, til it gets a bit bigger) and a "Tarnok" Sarracenia. You pointed out in this video that its ok to put water in some pitchers, but tarnok wasn't mentioned. the cap doesn't completely cover the opening, so should I put a couple tablespoons of water in there? or is that dangerous? When it arrived it also had white mold on one of the tubes, and it looked like it was slowly rotting although the top still looked ok. I ended up taking that tube off which sucked because it was the biggest one. if that ok to do? I shouldve asked before I did it but I didn't want whatever it was to spread.
Also, you didn't mention anything in this one about propagation. is it the same as a fly trap? is it safe for someone new to carnivorous plants to try next year? any help is greatly appreciated! keep up the awesome work, and thank you for making the videos!
ryan ellis you can split venus fly traps when they are bigger. The pitcher plants get flowers and you can get seeds from the flowers, they are beautiful but smell disgusting. You can do the same with venus fly traps.
Are these the answer to Florida mosquito problems? Because I will rush to the plant nursery right now.
MC5 Limited Skills not really. Carnivorous plants are not good for "bug control".
Wolfpath Wildlife
Is there any type of plants other than citronella that you could recommend that would possibly reduce the mosquito presence at least in a small area of my backyard.
I grow my sarracenia purpurea purpurea outdoor and it seen to wilt, I try to add water into the hood but not seen to work and temperature here is like 90 F sometime
Toxic Main the temperature is fine, it gets to be 90 in the summer in its native range. Was the soil watered well? Was it sitting in a tray of water? How young is the plant? Was this just one pitcher or all of them wilting?
Liguus I grow them in bog garden and my sarracenia only one year old and some new trap coming out look wilt and some look brown and dry out I water every day
And only sarracenia purpurea doing bad. My sarracenia flava, Venus fly trap and my drosera binata are doing very well
Liguus I plan on let them in tray method outdoor is that ok?
Liguus and I just got them like 2 day ago
I put sphagnum in a small pot and got it wet. I put the seeds in the sphagnum by just sprinkling them over it. I have about 4 or 5 of them sprouting up and they are very, very small right now but don't seem to be growing much. When they are very small, maybe 1/4 to 1/2" where do they get their nutrients from? Also, how long does it take before they make their first pitcher? Thanks!
They mostly just grow off of the sunlight. When they are large enough (and this goes for any carnivorous plant) feeding them will greatly increase growth.
Once sarracenia are and inch or so tall you can put moistened fish food into the pitchers (i usually get fish pellets with shrimp as the primary ingredient).
It will take a couple of years before they make their first adult pitcher, but they will be slowly getting larger each season.
***** Thanks but I'm not sure I completely understand. So these plants don't eat anything until they develop pitchers? Most plants take in nutrients from the soil and use the sunlight to convert those to energy for growth. My pitcher plants sprouted and have 2 leaves and aren't growing much at all, is that normal? They do not have pitchers yet, how long does it take before I should see those? Since these guys don't eat through their root system, where do they get their food before they have pitchers?
i recently purchased an adult sarracenia 'dana's delight' potted. . .and it is now shooting up a flower stalk. Is it normal for it to do that right now during dormancy? and i actually filled up these sarracenia pitchers with water when i first got them. Should i dump the water out or should i let it evaporate naturally? I don't want them to rot.
Sarracenia will produce flowers pretty early, so that part is normal. But you don't want water in the pitchers if it's not a purpurea. I would dump it out, but it really depends in how much is in there. Half an inch of water isn't a big deal, but if you have a few inches you should remove it. It won't kill the plant but you won't have nice pitchers as they might rot or break and fall over.
How would you feed a parrot pitcher? I'm getting one soon and I want to know before I get it
Levy McGarden I pretty much don't, but you can toss in an osmocote pellet once the pitcher is large enough.
will my purparia SSP purparia survive the harsh climate of - 13f
They could. After all they are found growing in Canada. Still I would either cover them up well with a tarp and some mulch. Or better yet, bring them in to a cool garage or basement until the severe freeze is over.
How can you tell when your plant is mature and able to eat bugs?
I've grown mine from seeds in a kids science kit(actual species unknown) and they're about 4 1/2 yrs old now
Captain Kyerial Button they are ready to eat bugs as soon as a pitcher forms. When they are seedlings they can eat things like fruit flies if available.
Wolfpath Wildlife Awesome thank you
Hello! Thanks for the information video!! First year having a Sarracenia Falva, a fly trap, and a few really tiny fly traps I started from seed. If I leave them outside in NJ, do I water them in the winter and continue the full sun? Was thinking of keeping them in a small terrarium-type house outside for the winter instead of just on my table where they may get blown away during storms because we go to FL for Jan and Feb and wouldn’t want to have family running out to water. Can I refrigerate both fly traps and Sarracenia at a specific temp? Sorry all the questions!!!! I’m just happy they’re still alive!
How cold is the winter there?
Liguus I would say average 25-30 degrees sometimes going down to single digits
That's a bit colder than what I would consider ideal (45-50*F), so I would build a cold frame to get them through the winter, even a heated one. Refrigeration works for some people, but I don't like it since it causes things to grow mold, and from what I can tell they prefer to have some light during dormancy. If you don't build the cold frame, I would say at least spray with a fungicide before putting it in the fridge.
Liguus thanks so much! You’re always so helpful - love your videos!!
I am so confused. I have the pitcher plant that hangs down in a pot and I keep finding info that says do not put in the sun. You say put it in the sun. Is mine a different type???
Thanks Sue
Based on your description I would assume you have a Nepenthes. They are also called "pitcher plants" but they are a completely different and separate group than Sarracenia. Also assuming its one of the common varieties sold like Nepenthes ventrata, it should be kept in partial shade outdoors, or in a bright window inside your house. They still need sunlight, just not as much as the ones in this video.
Thank you as I just figured out it s a Nepenthes. This put my mind at ease on what to do.Thank you so much for answering so quickly. Kudos to you.
Do you prefer tap water or distilled some people say do not use tap water I'm so bloody confused help help
Kimberley Rauchelle distilled for all carnivorous plants. Their roots are not adapted to deal with dissolved minerals in water.
What do you do if some of the pitchers dry out?
If they are brown you cut them off.
For the purpurea do you need soil for it? Cuz when i got it i was in a cup with a bunch of root things
I would say yes, to avoid root rot they shouldn't have their roots submerged all the time, but it might work for a purpurea. One guy was trying to grow a Sarracenia psittacina in an aquarium but I never followed up with him so I'm not sure if he was successful. A pot of soil is the "safest" option, and if you keep it in the cup of water it would sort of just be an experiment.
thanks!
What size pot for my Sarracenia 'Maroon' and ' Juthatip Soper'...
The more room they have the more stable the moisture will be and will allow their rhizome to grow and split into new plants. For most adult sarracenia I would just go with a pot 7-8 inches deep and 9-10 inches across. As you can see, the pots in my video are smaller according to the age of the plant.
Liguus Thank you.. they are in 3 inch pots at the moment and one showing 2inches and more of root coming out the bottom..time to repot
Just planted a seed how long will it take?
in sync parkour They should germinate in about 4 weeks, and will grow into mature plants in about five years.
one question are purpurea pitcher plants the same thing as yellow jacket pitcher plants, somebody PLEASE ANSWER
+Dragon guy not exactly, "yellow jacket" is a purpurea hybrid.
***** do they take the same care as a purpurea does
yes, you can grow them the exact same way.
***** ok,thx
way on broo
Can these go in a BOG?
Eddie Baker yes
Thank you!
can i grow these in my dart frog tank lights are 6500k its free drain soil
The lumens would need to be exceptionally high, Sarrs need a lot of light, even more than flytraps. They need cold dormancy to be healthy though so you would have to dig them all up and toss in the fridge for 4 months, or easier to just keep them outside year round.
So if its 110 degrees outside in summer that's okay? In full sun? Thanks
As long as they are watered well, yes.
Cool, thanks!
As long as the 100 degree is not Celcius, it should be fine :)))))
What goes in the pot first? The pearlite or the sphagnum peat moss?
Kathleen Monsegue you mix the peat and perlite together before potting them up. It’s a mix.
@@TheBonsaiJungle how do the seeds look like? I ordered some pitcher plant seeds from wish.com, but it wasnt labeled. 😂
@@TheBonsaiJungle can you send a pic of pitcher plant seeds to my email address so i can see how they look like? I bought so many types of plant seeds..so far i know how rose seeds look like. 😁
Kathleen Monsegue there is a pic with a nice assortment of seeds if you scroll down on this page (link below) If they came from a reputable carnivorous nursery there should be no issues...other than sometimes seeds getting crushed in the mail sorting machines . carnivorousplants.org/grow/propagation/SarraceniaSeed
Is it your greenhouse?
Unfortunately no.
***** Yeah, I'd love to have one like it, too!
Sarracenia needs to stay with water on bottom?
Science Addiction it doesn’t have to, but the soil shouldn’t dry out. Mine stand in an inch of water all summer, but are free standing autumn-spring since it’s cold and raining frequently, preventing the soil from drying as fast.
@@TheBonsaiJungle Nice, thanks, i'm living in south Italy, my summers are very hot. For now my sarracenia it's in cold greenhouse, i need to take only moist without water under right?
Science Addiction right, as long as the soil is moist they don’t need to stand in water once the weather is colder.
@@TheBonsaiJungle For now there we have 25-27 °C max and 18 °C min on outside but 21/22 °C inside the greenhouse. Thanks for the tips, i have dionaea and drosera too, they are different in care type?
Science Addiction the dionaea are similar to the sarracenia in care, although I put mine in less water in the summer. The drosera are usually different, but there are so many species it’s not possible to give a general guide to all of them without knowing what you grow.
Have you tried growing any of the carnivorous plants off ebay?
Rosie Serrano yes
@@TheBonsaiJungle any luck with them?
@@rosellia10 Yes there are a number of good sellers on eBay. Are you looking for anything in particular?
@@TheBonsaiJungle well I stumbled upon a couple of interesting ones I haven't seen on RUclips yet. First one is a purple pitcher plant, it looks almost too good to be true and I also found a purple sundew plant that grows in the form of a flower. Just wondering what your thoughts were on them.

😍
Can i grow from seed?
Yeah if you want to.
+Wolfpath Wildlife is there a certain age that sarracenia flower and if so how old would they have to be
+Zephyr Acworth well it's going to take 3-4 years for a seed to grow into an "adult sized" plant, and they should flower the year after that.
+Wolfpath Wildlife thanks
You really know your stuff...but I wonder if you could stop advocating the use of peat in gardening. I know it's fantastic for plants but peat harvesting is destroying a massively important eco-system when we could use alternatives such a coir. I notice this video was made a while ago, so maybe you have switched now which would be great. Thanks for your hard work though, it's really impressive 👏
No.
@@TheBonsaiJungle You get straight to the point ,Don't you?
Fuckin' Eddie Vedder!

Good looking, deep sexy voice.... And educational. Brilliant! ❤️
Do you sell Cobra Lilies? If yes, please email me
did you make it go through dormancy they don't need it ever it will kill it. they are tropical plants
sarracenias are temperate plants they thrive on a bit of frost. nepenthes are tropical, they don't like to be much below 12 degrees centigrade
Once i'm intrigued I want to do it and sometimes it's a bad thing and you my good sir have just intrigued me
Thanks for all the awesome tips Liguus! Learned a great deal from you already! Appreciated!
