I just watch 6 flytrap videos, about 2 hours worth, and this 10 minute video taught me more. Thank you

Jesus this was more informative then 99% of plant videos on youtube. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Hopefully you will give these plants a try now that you have new information.
*100% Great video guy!
I grow miniature orchids, I was Shocked how many blatantly "False" videos on Thier care and growing are listed here on RUclips... I've reported many fraudulent videos but RUclips doesn't seem to care since many are still up and available!!! 😫👎🏻👎🏻
@@robertforrest7956any good videos or sources of true info?
This needs to be the first video that pops up when searching for VFT care. Thanks.
Thank you! We appreciate your sentiment. I hope you give these plants a try knowing what you know now.
I bet this guy has zero flies on his property.
He must have some too feed them its a paradox
I tried SO many times to grow flytraps, but always"protected" inside. This year I put one on my back deck in full sun, a WOW, what a difference! I'm going to buy 4-5 more . and some sphagnum and perlite. VERY informative video...THANK YOU! SUBBED!
Thanks for watching! That's cool! Yes, these plants are far from being delicate waifs. They grow best when they can experience full sun and the changes of the seasons. You can read more about their care on our website.

@@SarraceniaNorthwestI live in S. Florida. I don’t have a winter 😅. Is it okay if I place the flytraps in my fridge for hibernation?
@@alejandroguerra6755bump
What about a grow light? Can you use a grow light on it?
@@alejandroguerra6755I have. I live in Southern California. And they were in the back fridge for 3 months.
I love "Your flytrap doesn't care what you think." 😆 I have also made all of these mistakes. I did eventually find out that they prefer to be outdoors, and I usually water everything with rainwater, but I didn't know about their sunlight needs, or anything else. I might finally be able to keep a baby flytrap alive. What I'd like to know, though, is why growers don't ever include this information on the plants they send to nurseries. It looks like they really don't care if all of those plants die, so you have to go out and buy a new one every year. How irresponsible. 😠
Thank you for watching! Yes, this is why we produce these videos. There are lots of myths that still circulate, such as flytraps being tropical plants and require constant high humidity. Hopefully you will give these plants another try with your new knowledge.
Thanks for the pics of VFTs in the snow. I never would have believed it without seeing it.
I just bought a Venus flytrap in a mini pot. Thanks for the info. Growing plants in this era is so easy because of the internet.
Glad the video was helpful! Make sure to also watch our monthly care videos. We show you what to do each month throughout the year.

Just bought my first VFT today and this video has taught me all I need to know. Thanks 😎
If you do feed your flytrap, another important thing to remember is not to give it a bug that's too big. The insect shouldn't be bigger than about 2/5 of the trap, or less than 1/2, just over 1/3 really. If the bug is too big, it's prone to rot and kill the trap before its fully digested.
Sometimes, they catch things they shouldn’t. Several weeks ago, one of mine caught a slug. About a third of the slug remained outside the trap. Yes, the trap died, but the plant is fine.
A particularly large trap snagged a bald-faced hornet. I watched as it chewed its way out. That happens commonly with Sarracenias.
@@richardkev3077 I've seen traps catch small lizards as well.
Wow. More useful and relevant VFT info in 10 minutes than anywhere else on RUclips for this subject. I've looked. I'm embarrassed that I've made all 5 of these mistakes over the decades whenever I've tried my luck, and ended up killing them all.
Thank you for watching the video! I'm glad you found the information useful. I hope you give these plants another try but with new information! As always, we're also here to help you if you encounter any problems. You can write to us at Ask The Growers.

The basic issue is new growers tend to try and “baby” their new VFT, when they are actually incredibly hardy. Just make sure they’re ALWAYS moist in spring and summer, give them as much full sun as you can, and at the start of spring give them a spray of imidaclorprid to prevent aphid infestations. That’s all I do and I’ve had the same pot of batch VFTs for over a decade, have to throw out a handful of bulbs every spring though.
Thank you for watching the video! I appreciate your insight and totally agree with you. Part of babying flytraps stems from a misunderstanding of the general nature of these plants. Hopefully this video gives growers better information to be more successful. We have more videos in the works. Stay tuned!
Thank you SO much for the tip on the imidaclorprid. I didn't know about that. Can you recommend a brand?
@@superiordelivery4256 Any brand will work so long as its sole active ingredient is imidacloprid:) I’ve used a few brands over the years, they’re all equally effective. Just go by the directions on the label for any other ornamental plant (normally the directions will just say spray until the leaves are saturated).
I have had a Venus Flytrap since 1970 which has proliferated. I live in northern Germany, which has a different climate than Wilmington. I water them with osmosis water and use white peat or Leucobryum glaucum as substrate. She is still alive today. Due to the many offshoots, I was able to experiment with their hibernation. I can't hibernate her outside because she freezes to death because of the very wet winters and has a lot of stress from the changing temperatures. Severe frosts and thaws alternate constantly. It also does not survive a period of rest in a frost-free cellar. Consequently, I cultivate them at 20° to 25°C. It forms very wide leaf blades in winter to capture more light. With a rest period, it recovers very poorly in the spring, since the winters are very long here. This leads to the death of the plant. Without a rest period with artificial lighting, I have very good results! Since I mixed the white peat with quartz sand, mineral salts are slowly released into the substrate. This increases the conductance to approx. 200 micro Siemens, so that the mineral salts occasionally have to be rinsed out with osmosis water. The plants are still very vigorous for me, even if the cultivation conditions are different according to the circumstances. There is very little sunshine in northern Germany, so the plant is kept outdoors from mid-May to October.
Thank you for watching the video! We don't have any experience with indoor cultivation of outdoor perennials, and that's not our focus. Since we're in the United States, we grow these plants outdoors and encourage our customers to do the same. But, you seem to have found a method that works for you. By all means, keep doing it.
Nice! 1970? Wirklich? 💕
Another way to hibernate is to put them in the refridgerator. When I lived in Michigan, I would dig mine out of their pots each fall,, gently wash of the soil in rain water bucket I had, then placed each variety in a ziplock plastic baggie labeled with the variety name and I would put it in a box or put it in one of the refridgerator compartments in the spare refridgerator in our garage. I had about 12 bags of traps, there were quite a few, and they were full. I did this for a number of years.
I live in a hot and humid climate now, further south than N & S Carolina.. where they come from. in Central Florida. I keep them outdoors year round and dont have to worry about them other than repotting them every 2 years.
Wow! 1970s! Thats amazing
Mine do just fine in the Swiss winter, but the -15°C temperatures can be rough and they die down to a stump. I cover them in winter because of this.
Grew them for years this is the first vid i see that covers everything !

Hey, just wanted to stop in and say that I learned more in your video than most and I don’t grow flytraps. Keep up the awesomeness. 😊
Thanks for watching. Glad the video was educational. Hope you give these plants a try some time.
Well said Jacob! I've been growing them for 20 years and been telling people the same thing.
Oh wow, this video was so informational!!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! Make sure to watch our monthly videos to see how these plants look like throughout the year.

Very fluent, clear and informative...
Thank you for watching! Glad it was helpful!
I´ve never managed to keep those plants alive.....now I know why. The sunlight......I always had them in my dark flat and it´s a shame that they sell them as indoor plants here. Like WCiossek writes in this comment section, it is possible to keep this species alive even here in Germany, but it´s a complicated thing. I won´t try it again. We should always inform, what a plant or an animal needs, before we take it under our custody and ask ourselves, if we can provide it. This are living creatures.
Thank you for watching the video! Yes, we're also disappointed that flytraps are marketed as indoor, shade plants. That's a good way to kill them. This is why we produce videos like this one.
Your place looks AMAZING!!!! I love it!
Thank you for this video.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.
Fantastic video. Great presentation. Thanks
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching.
Thank you for the lesson Jacob! 😊
My pleasure!
This is so helpful! You explain it so well, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Hope you get a chance to give these plants a try with your new information.
I can speak to its presence in South Georgia 40 years ago. I've seen multiple specimens growing in planted pine forests as far south as 5 miles north of the Florida state line. The specific areas where I've seen them were near swampy areas or fresh water bogs. Where the natural soil is high in peat and sand. There's very little clay, and the topsoil is pretty thin, so when you wander near old swamps, the topsoil is replaced with peat, with the sand substrate.
this video was super informative and explained so well! I learned so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Really interesting video, thank you so much for sharing it with us 😊

“Your flytrap doesn’t care what you think.” This hurt my heart a little but I did laugh.
Sometimes the truth hurts! 🤣 Thanks for watching. Many growers have gotten the message loud and clear with our no nonsense approach.
@@SarraceniaNorthwest So far so good. I had repotted with just peat, so I rerepotted with 50/50. 3 weeks in and alive so far. I happen to live in N.C. so I thought I had to try again after all these years.
Thank You for posting this video! I was under the impression that the Flytrap was a tropical plant and never put it outside. I bought them at a lowes depot and would water them with tap water, not knowing that they thrive on distilled water. No wonder my Flytraps never lasted that long. You have educated myself and many others who I am sure were just as ignorant as I was.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent and informative

As a kid it was always a treat when my mom would buy me one from the supermarket. Of course it didn't last long, inside under the plastic cup that was on top. Venus Flytrap has always been one of my favorites. Brings back good memories.
