Hi, Erika. Prior video, when you were talking about Ping,ps, some of your viewer requested me to make a video for how to take care of Pings… Honestly, you didn’t have to mix any of those pumice of some sort. Just sand would be totally fine. The pups will be just fine potted in sand. You are doing fine. Also, those broken leaves, place it on dump sphagnum moss and keep it humid. It will produce mire clones. Sundew can be easily pollinated by just shaking the flowers. Leave the seed pods till it gets black then open up the pods on paper towel then sewn them in sphagnum moss. They will germinate fairly easy.
dear Erika, thanks, is it possible that in your next videos you do not use music; it makes it very hard to follow your advice this way. Thanks, Friedrich from the Netherlands
I dropped my drosera spatulata sundew off my second floor balcony and it landed face down in a middle of a bush last week and I lost 2 of the 3 flowering stems before they could flower. I hope the one that remains still flowers but its not lookin good. I really like the large butterworts, I have been thinking about getting one to add to my carnivorous plant collection.
5:25 think i somehow managed to get one of my pings to submerge after watering, it didn't make it. perlite tends to float a lot, but i'm not sure how i managed to do it
Just a tip you might like to know. You can cut a coffee filter to fit the bottom of your pots so the soil doesn’t fall through when potting. Set the pot on the filter and draw around it to size it. Or you can hold the pot upside down with filter on the outside of it and while pressing it down cut around it. Loved your video.
Fun video! I have been interested in carnivorous pants since I was a kid. And I recently discovered that a plant that grows in my yard (proboscidea parviflora Devil's Claw) is likely a carnivore! Woohooo!
I got the idea in my head that I wanted them in soil so u know how that goes lol Also worried about the algae growing but mostly I got the idea in my head
@@ErikaLodes I ordered Adakama/Pumice stone mix for my mexican pings, I line the bottom of the pot w/ Spag Moss and it's growing up through the mix. Just keep moss trimmed and Pings will be happy. You can sterilize your peat moss by microwaving it for a couple mins to kill bacteria or go big and boil it on the stove/bake it in the oven if you need a lot. (Make sure to let your hot peat cool before planting) I always rinse my play sand to help remove any extra dust, the sand holds onto minerals so it's best to rinse it with RO/ Distilled water if you can. Plant your baby pings and fallen leaves in pure Spag moss in a little deli container or reusable plastic food container w/ a lid for humidity.
Used to buy distilled water, but then when the panorama hit I stopped, because there was a shortage for some breathing machines, so I now give my sun dew and pitcher plant brita water and they are still doing fine and growing.
The panorama lol. I know what you mean but the typo gave me a giggle. You’re not kidding about distilled water though, some weeks my grocery store is out even now.
Hi! I need help from a friend. There is a Philodendron Pink Princess in my house, but it has no pink leaves. How can the leaves turn pink on your friend's channel? Is there a video on how to do it with hydroponic?
Hi Erika, are you willing to share the website where you ordered the pirouette and gypsicola? also, I keep my butterworts in moss... I moved them from soil TO moss.... we will see how it goes :)
Lol that is so funny! They do great in moss but mine was getting algae so hopefully the soil won’t get algae idk if that’s a thing & ya!! I got them from carnivoreculture.com They came in lil 1 oz sauce cups so they didn’t get smushed & were super easy to move into a pot :D since they aren’t all coming from the same place though, you might have to wait for each plant to come & shipping tbh is pricey 🥲 But I love pings from there
hi i just got some carnivorous plants and i’m not sure how to feed them. i heard you can use fish flakes but i’m not sure if i place the flakes on the plant or around them…
Hi Erika! Love your videos they’re so relaxing. Also would you be willing to share the website you got yours at? Really interested in one but cannot find them anywhere
Ya! I got them from carnivoreculture.com They came in secure packaging, but are not all from the same source (if you buy multiple) so they might come in separate packages. Also shipping was kind of a lot but I just despise paying for shipping lol But I love my babies I got from there so I recommend it!! Also make sure to read the description of how big your plant will get bc some of them stay v tiny in case you want a bigger one
@@ErikaLodes thank you so much! They’re so cute and I would love to give one a try 🥰 I also hate shipping haha I feel like it can make something go from reasonable to like omg so expensive really fast haha
I thought Pings require a special soil. I had no idea you could plant them in sphagnum. I thought it required crushed coral, sand and Vermiculite? My mind is blown lol
Hey I have problem like when I put a like a tray of water under the pot then after one day there are tiny creatures. So can you please tell me what is going on?
Hmmm it could be soil mites? If you have them in your soil they might get into the water. They aren’t harmful so you don’t have to worry. So hopefully it’s soil mites. They’re very tiny
Hi Erika, I’ve wanted to try carnivores plants since I was a kid but I haven’t tried any yet. I was going to put one in my jar terrarium but how would it get critters to eat?
Ya that is an issue :/ maybe if you have an open terrarium gnats will wonder in? Or if you have mosquitos flying around you can catch them & feed it by hand?
Most carnivorous plants don't need to eat all that often. You could try some freeze dried blood worms or freeze dried daphnia. Just keep an eye on them because they can mold when closed in a terrarium
Who else WISHED those two leaves could have been placed on sphagnum moss to propagate more plants lol

Weee!! This was super fun! I just adore my little Ping, but I don’t know too too much about them! They are so different and sooooo cool!!
Also!! Go easy on yourself lady!! That’s how most of us learn, just by trial and error. Everything went so well! It was an awesome vid. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ya they are the coolest!! I think everyone should get on board this ping train! Thanks girl 💚
Thanks for the update on them I know you were so worried.

Ahhh poor baby 😭😭 that’s minimal damage for such a long fall tho I think :) I like the large butterworts too, a gigantea is on my wish list

You did just fine. It could have been worse. Your pings look AWESOME
I have gotten into pings. Pretty cool how they divide

We need a string of hearts propagation update ! How is the plant doing now , is it out of the bag now , ect !!
If it was doin so well in Spaghnum why report? Also both my carnivorous plants are in Spaghnum, lovin life.❤🌱

Add some sphagnum moss to the bottom before the soil to help it breathe better and to prevent the holes from clogging
Used to buy distilled water, but then when the panorama hit I stopped, because there was a shortage for some breathing machines, so I now give my sun dew and pitcher plant brita water and they are still doing fine and growing.
Oh I’m glad to hear that in case I can’t find any
Or if I get lazy lol

Did you know you can propagate those babies!!
Harvest those drosera seeds! Keep up the great videos!
You definitely did not kill the babies, you can prop the leaves and make more baby pings

hi i just got some carnivorous plants and i’m not sure how to feed them. i heard you can use fish flakes but i’m not sure if i place the flakes on the plant or around them…
Do you ever top water or just keep them in a tray of water only?
I just got my first Mexican butterwort from the same place you got it. I wanted to transplanted, can you post a new update
Anyone know where I can get that sturdy clear tray?

Thanks for this video. I am thinking about ordering one of these plants. If I do, I know now NOT to repot! 🤣What is that back ground music girlie?
How are you’re pings doing now ?
I kept getting grossed out whenever your fingers got close to leaves with all those dead gnats stuck to them 🤣
Omgggg I used to be so grossed out but I have become immune now. Whenever I kill I mosquito I have to feed it to my lil babies

I loooove the mood at 10:06 like my mission is done here now that the babies are DEAD 😂
Omg how is you’re so huge mine is so freaking tiny

This made me miss my flytrap 🥲
Rip lil fly trap 😔 I killed mine, but I don’t miss it
I need a ping now 😭
Ok for real you gotta get one!! You will not regret it!
Erika be careful with desertsand! Could be that its got salt in it! Take riversand!
This gave me the idea to taste the sand lol
So far it has been fine so I think it will be okay
@@ErikaLodes LOL! Thats cute 😂
