- Dewy pines are notoriously tricky to water, sometimes wanting to sit in water, other times dying if left in water! Damon explain just how to water in this video. These plants are seasonally available on our website www.californiacarnivores.com
(Sorry for the vertical video! We film these in between a mountain of nursery work and sometimes we have time to film them vertically and horizontally and sometimes we don’t)
RIP Peter D'Amato. And thank you for all the knowledge that you shared with us all.
Its videos like this that give me confidence in trying new plants. Like my Cephalotus. I was so afraid of trying them until I saw your ultimate care video on Cephs and watched it over and over again until I understood how to take care of them. Heliamphora is another one that I'm afraid of trying but will give it a go as well. :) Thanks, Damon and Daniela for yet another awesome video!
Always the best info! I am currently using your potted plant to compare the health of my seed-grown plants. The watering info you provide is invaluable.
Very good. Valuable information. Thanks!
Thank you very much for that information highly valued
Are you looking to expand? I'm in southern nh and we have zero carnivorous plant nurseries around. It's been a dream of mine to care for plants full time!
Hey, I've emailed you guys, but I don't have an answer yet, but in just asking if I can settle a sarracenia Purpurea ssp. Venosa on a sunny west facing windowsill with a humidifier next to it. Same thing with your DC XL Venus flytrap! (Ive read your book multiple times over, awesome book)
You can but you’ll have to watch the plant to see if it’s happy or if it needs a supplemental grow light
Question: What if a caterpillar eats my carnivorous plants? Especially my American Pitchers. It could be a question worth answering!
Caterpillars can be a problem - munching away on random plants! We apply Bayer 3-in-1
@@California_CarnivoresThanks!, I bought a bog kit from y’all and a fuzzy caterpillar munched on my pitchers and ate my sundew clean.😅
@@dibs1263 oh nooo! That’s so frustrating!
I killed my first ones by getting them too dry. Now I know I can sit in water before their first flower.
Once they have started the flower cycle do you water from above from a can or stand in a tray until wet then remove from tray?
We water from above and remove the tray once they start flowering
Hi, please make a guide video about vft water germination, please. Or at least give me advice, water, temperatures light etc. 😊
give them the same conditions as a growing venus flytrap
and no seed torper(dormancy) is needed
can the alien cultivar close its traps by itself?
Sometimes but usually not well
Do you guys scarify the seeds? I heard they just won't germinate or they can take upto 12 months to germinate if you dont so I rub mine between sandpaper until they turn grayish in color and then I sow them directly into a clay pot (to save me having to use a peat pot etc).
I did this last year and it worked great, but then they died through winter before they even flowered, I then sowed a load more seed this year using the same method, on 6th of march but still zero germination on them at all, which is so annoying because by the time they do germinate and become mature plants its just going to be winter again and before I know it they'll just die through winter, I love these plants and really want to grow them well, but for me its one of the only carnivores that seem to just hate me
I sowed two batches once, scarified and non-scarified, the scarified all germinated, the non-scarified also all germinated but took another three weeks or so before any sign of germination.
We scarify one end of the seed with a small whetstone and then soak the seeds for 24 hours!
@@California_Carnivores ahhh so just the end of it I see! Ill keep that in mind, thankyou!
