Oh my god, no filler, the best overview of pitcher plants hands down. If only it was @ 4k lol Still though, no better place to view all the varieties, thank you!
Thank you so much guys for a very informative video. This is what I was looking for, because I'm going to get one in the next couple of weeks. Thanks again and blessings from Texas.
Just want to say a big thank you. I watched all your “grow carnivorous! “ videos. You cleared up so much confusion I had on the subjects. Everything is so well presented and explained! Thank you again for the fantastic work! Rom
Great basic care video. But, really enjoyed the fact that you also keyed in on certain species. In Hawaii nei I grow my Nepenthes outside in a shade house (ultra lowland, lowland, some intermediates), so I was hoping for a bit more info on lowlands. Good job guys! Aloha
For my Nepenthes I use a mix of one part peat, one part orchid park, two parts sphagnum and one part sand (terrarium sand like for some reptiles). This works as well very good.
I guess you have to show up in person to buy the good stuff, because there's never anything hardly on their website, and what is there is miniscule when you receive it.
Is there a way of telling if a nepenthe is a high or lowland?I recently went to a corpse flower bloom and they were selling carnivorous plants.unfortunately they didn’t have specific names so I’m not exactly sure which type it is to give it the proper care.it was only labeled nepenthe “monkey cup” which is very broad I’m finding out.
Do you have google lense on your phone? You can take pictures of plants and it'll show you what exact type it is. If it was called Monkey cup though, it's probably one of the super easy care ones. Maybe Gaya, Bloody Mary, or an Alata, and they're all tolerant of both low and high land conditions
Orchid bark, such as Orchiata (Pinus radiata), is a great addition to Nepenthes mix. Orchiata tends to break down much slower than other pine or fir barks.
Correction, nepenthes rajah is endemic species from Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia region. Not from region of indonesia but East Malaysia region in Borneo Island.
Pitcher plants drive me absolutely crazy they're so complex and honestly are a harder plant to take care of but that's what I like about them they're like little pets and they're gorgeous like different kinds of fruits if you get what I'm saying
What the hell are these people talking about? I’ve had my nepenthes for four months. Grown them in my south facing kitchen window as suggested with right soil and proper watering. Growth but no pitchers. LOW HUMIDITY. Tried growing them outside under a tree. Why not. Filtered light; they grow wrapped around trees naturally anyway. More humid outside than a house. Growth but no pitchers. LOW HUMIDITY. Made my indoor tropical greenhouse with LED shop-light, humidifier, 4 little fans for air circulation and my plants have been THRIVING!! Probably because I finally listened to the professionals I was talking to and gave the plants the proper requirements. So explain that one.
Hi David. Thank you for watching our video. Let's first state the obvious. You have strong emotions about this! Wow! We are always available to assist growers with their plants. You can reach out to us via Ask The Growers. Just supply us with the requested information and upload photos of your plants and set up. One of our growers will then get back to you. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/ask-the-growers/ But you seem to have found something that works for you. Great! The important thing is that you keep trying. If you are interested in seeing how some of our customers have grown Nepenthes without expensive setups, read our general care guide. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/nepenthes-care/ We also talk about Nepenthes (and humidity) in our digital download. We discuss the Nepenthes that grow best as regular houseplants (as we do in the video) and how to troubleshoot common problems. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/the-ultimate-carnivorous-plant-guide-for-beginners/ You can also read some of our responses to customers regarding their Nepenthes. We've helped thousands of customers since 2005. We're slowly combing through our database to post these questions since we only started doing so in December. But we've answered a number of questions about Nepenthes not producing pitchers. You might notice that, based on their photos, the common reason is not enough light. (Check out Q/A #34.) www.growcarnivorousplants.com/blog/ It might be that the LED you got provided enough light for your Nepenthes. But without knowing the full nature of your previous growing conditions, how long you had the plants in each location, the varieties you were growing, and seeing photos of your plants, we can't really say what was going on and which factors were impeding pitcher production. But the important thing is you found something that works for you.
I don’t understand how people grow these plants indoors because the humidity is like 30%. I had them outside where the humidity is higher, and they never produced pitchers because the humidity was always under 60%. Had them in plenty of good light, but never produced pitchers because the humidity is too low.

Hi I’m from the uk and new to carnivorous plants.Can you give me some advice please.I have a pitcher plant and I want to know do I need to keep it in a saucer of water all the time or can I just water it enough to keep it damp.Also do I need to put any water in the pitchers or will the plant do this itself.Thankyou for your videos they are verygood
Kinda late, the pitcher will fill the water itself as long as the humidity is high. The tray method can be used but allow the tray to dry before filling it with water again.
Thank you for these very informative videos! But I'm wondering, how do you go about growing Nepenthes in your Green house during the winter (with negative temperatures)?
Thank you for watching our videos! Our tropical greenhouses are heated in winter. They maintain a minimum day temperature of 21°C. At night, the temperature drops to 13°C.
@@SarraceniaNorthwest Oh ok, I was hoping for a tip that could be useful for a little collector like me ^^! But, sadly, build a heated Green House is a bit to much for me ahah. Thank you very much for your response, and thank you for your videos. I've spent the last three days watching almost every video on your channel. Really very informative :)
Hi, Sarracenia Northwest, I bought your ebook and it is very interesting. In the soil section I do not see vermiculite in the list. It is very light as perlite, so I was wondering if it is ok for carnivorous plants
This truly is the most detailed video on Neps I have found anywhere, including Google, however I still cannot find requirements on the Ventrata I purchased last June. It came with 4 pitchers, and I clipped them in November when they shriveled and dried. Through my TN winter, it stayed in my West facing window, getting 2-3 hours of sunlight. It's doubled in size, but still no pitchers. I moved it from a 3in nursery pot to it's current 4in pot, still with Spaghnum moss, stays moist but not soggy. The past month, I've moved it to my covered deck, again getting am direct sun from 8-11am until the sun rises above the ceiling, but all day indirect light, still no pitchers. I'm aware that ventrata is more tolerant, being a hybrid between Alata and Ventricosta. Does anyone know where I can obtain specific requirements for a "Nepenthes Ventrata"? Thank you 🙏
Temperature 15-30 degrees Celcius, humidity above 50%, rain or pure water, can use pipe water depending on how water supply is treated in your area, if the plant has produced too many basal off shoot, cut the main stem or basal off-shoot (leave 1 or few stem) make sure plant's basal off-shoot is visible and stable before cutting the main stem, I usually re-root basal off shoot by cut it and sticking it in sphagnum moss. it could be that mineral has build up in the soil media (possible after a year ot two)

Thank you, this was great! The plants I received from your nursery are thriving, putting off beautiful pitchers and now flowers.

You are so welcome! We're glad you find the information useful. Have fun with your new hobby!
Echoing everyone here in saying that this is the most helpful video I've seen on youtube, as a newcomer to Nepenthes. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!! Perfect for quarantine
Very detailed nepenthe plant video which very good for beginner to learn n understand it. Thank you very much.
Glad you liked it!
WOW! What a terrific series, thank you so much creating and sharing.
Fantastic presentation, very educative .thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My soul left my body when he cut open the healthy pitcher
It is my first time to grow a nepenthes ..thanks for this video!
Excellent Video guy, really interesting information, and very useful, greeting form Cancun Mexico
Very helpful video! I just got a nepenthes thats is on the sad side and I was trying to figure out what would make it happier living in Portland
Hamata and Dubia are my favorite.
Most complete guide!
Thank you, I just got my nepenthes and a cape sundew today from your website and they look great.
Thanks for this, guys. Really useful info ;)
Thank you for this video. Very helpful and for free. I wish my garden supplies do these tutorial videos for newbies like me.
Great commentary.
Thank you kindly!
Great, Thank you.

Nooo why did they stop uploading?
That is a really a good boy right there. My dogs would have either pee on it, chew it, or knock it down n use it as toy or roll on it.
For my Nepenthes I use a mix of one part peat, one part orchid park, two parts sphagnum and one part sand (terrarium sand like for some reptiles). This works as well very good.
Hi can I use coco peat for this plant?
Can I use water that ran off the roof during a rainstorm for nepenthes?
Yes
I guess you have to show up in person to buy the good stuff, because there's never anything hardly on their website, and what is there is miniscule when you receive it.
awesome
My picture plant is falling over. What do you recommend me to do

What year was this recorded? Looka like 70s
would it be safe to say orchid mix is good for potting nepenthes?
Thank you for watching. Orchid mixes don't hold sufficient moisture. It's best to use the mixes we mention in the video.
Could I use orchid bark instead of coconut husk with the nursery potting mix ?
Thanks brilliant video 👍👍
Orchid bark, such as Orchiata (Pinus radiata), is a great addition to Nepenthes mix. Orchiata tends to break down much slower than other pine or fir barks.
Correction, nepenthes rajah is endemic species from Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia region. Not from region of indonesia but East Malaysia region in Borneo Island.
What is the best substrate for them
do you sell pitcher plant seeds?
Goals
It all starts with one plant, and before you know it, you got a damn nursery and a new career.
Pitcher plants drive me absolutely crazy they're so complex and honestly are a harder plant to take care of but that's what I like about them they're like little pets and they're gorgeous like different kinds of fruits if you get what I'm saying
If a fly enters that tent, it's not coming out...

If everything good with what I was saying, put it in your backyard or front yard, close2the sun

10 y/o n. villosa wow
Can i use washed volcanic ash in the mixture of perlite and peat moss?
Sounds like it's pumice. Pumice is perfectly fine to use with Nepenthes. We don't use it mainly because it's heavy and we work with lots of plants.
@@SarraceniaNorthwest oh ok thanks, do you think i could use it for sundews?
Yes, you can use it with sundews in place of perlite.
