As a serial plant killer, I had given up on plants completely until I got a cactus a few years ago. That thing is thriving....I now have 10 different types of cactus and it's a bit of a problem. :) Multiple cactus have already outgrown their pots for the 1st-2nd time and my original cactus has outgrown about 4 pots and I can't find a pot that is big enough but not too huge for my shelf.
As a Home Depot Garden associate, as soon as you said you found the sad little display of carnivorous plants I knew exactly what you were talking about. Every summer (and around Halloween too for some reason) we always get this green cardboard display with Piranha Plants slapped across it with like thirty small venus fly traps in these little plastic shells like they were a gacha pull. At my store, we have the display located near the the exit of the store leading into our green house area so yeah, they get zero sun light. I can't tell you how many times I've had to toss those little guys away down our trash chute in receiving. But if your plant dies with 30-90 days, you can always bring it back to get a replacement or refund in we still have that plant in stock. Also, Carnivine seems like a suitable name for your new little sprout.
No, mint in the ground outside and mint in a pot are veeeeery different in that regard. Mint in the ground: very hard to kill, will come back from anything and spread everywhere. Mint in a pot (especially inside): easy to accidentally kill even for experienced house plant owners who were really trying their best.
Would totally recommend a sundew! I do nothing except give it rain water and it thrives. Is also a total fungus gnat magnet. Then again I live in Australia and it doesn't go into dormancy...
@@YoungYongTalesAnything that isn’t a flytrap or a sarracenia won’t go dormant. Just stay away from the highland bornean nepenthes unless you’re deep into the rabbit hole haha.
@@YoungYongTales Dormancy is actually very easy. Just chuck em in the vegetable section in the fridge with a plastic bag on top for 3 months. Just remember that pitcher plants or your nepenthes ventrata dont need dormancy or you will *kill them* .Hopefully you will see this before you put your flytraps to sleep.
I'd only be wary of butterworts because they (sort of) have a dormancy thing going on! Some go from water loving to succulent like, which can lead to overwatering / rot if you're not careful! I've never kept butterworts (yet) but I'd love to!
If you are planning to get another easy carnivorous plant try to get a sundew ( cape or spoon leafed) They are just like venus flytraps but easier. And if they flower next to your other carnivorous plants *your carnivorous plant's pots will be infested*
Soo, i was able to successfully put my flytraps in dormancy with great success. 1.)Get some pea sized gravel like at Petco for fish tanks but don't get the painted glowing garbage just natural rocks. 2.)Get a tiny Tupperware container like for a single sandwich, about 1 inch deep and about 5/6 inches length and width 3.) remove all the soil from the rhizomes of the plant and separate them if they're clumped together (honestly do this part when you buy them and replant them) 4.) put the rhizomes in the gravel and gently... GENTLY cover them. 5.) spray the gravel with the distilled water but don't soak it, if the Tupperware is like 1 inch deep the water should not really make a visible waterline. Just get the surface wet. 6.) put the lid on without any holes in it and pop em in the fridge. Even the back of the fridge is ok these things are used to freezing in the winter in their natural habitat in the USA. North Carolina. The tips and green bits will die off and the rhizomes will literally sleep for 5 months. I usually do mine from October/November to February/March, every other year 🥰 In the spring they will come back and make beautiful huge flytraps Best luck and happy napping 😋 Edit: and name it Kirby 😁 Venus Kirby

Hey. I’ve been growing carnivorous plants for quite a while. Great resource for carnivorous plants is the savage garden book. It’s incredible book for the cultivation for these plants.
I'm sure plenty carnivorous plant owners have already mentioned their own dormancy experiences, but the most important part in my opinion is identifying the signs of dormancy in flytraps. (Drooping traps, as in the traps are much closer to the "ground" rather than upright, another sign is broad stems! Flytrap "stems" or the leaves, technically, become wider as dormancy begins. The purpose of this is to take in more light as they're accustomed to less in the winter) Dormancy for flytraps put VERY simply, is less light, cooler temperatures, AND less water. Some people will even put flytraps in their fridge for dormancy- BUT! I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a spare, fairly empty fridge or cooler for it. I've only done this myself because I have a mini drink cooler with a glass door that light can get through. Fridges typically could be risky due to humidity that could cause mold, so be cautious of that :)
I'll be honest, you did an amazing job with this. I guess the wait is worth it 😁 Also you could name the next fly trap, Marty Jr. Or Martinis, short for Marty 🤔
Hey since your my fav RUclipsr here's a tip! Tip: Drill a many small holes in the pot before putting in the plant without proper draining of the extra water you put in they will experience root rot
Amazing video Mr. Young Yong Tales, it is interesting to listen about your experience with taking care of carnivorous plants! May Marty rest in peace from the tragedy of his root rot, also for a possible name for your new Venus Fly Trap, “Carnivine” is good for a Pokémon name! But other than that “Omni,” short for omnivorous, or Verde, for a simple color name. 😊
Hey if you're a new plant lover and you're afraid of killing it, i suggest either a ZZ plant (next to no needs) or a Snake Plant. Pothos are another great one as they yell at you when they need water. ❤
Those little carnivorous plants never get the love they deserve! 🌱 I've had my share of impulse buys that end up thriving... or mysteriously 'resting.' 😅 And yes, Carnivine is a perfect name for your green buddy!
I used to have a Venus flytrap when I was around 9, it was so cool but turns out Vegas weather wasn't good for it :P Awesome video btw you are a huge inspiration to me and my style.
The best and worst thing about plants is that they will most likely outlive you. They will be with you your whole life, but you can’t die in peace knowing that your plants will be alone.
Can I just say, I've been seeing stuff all over about how easy and low maintenence venus fly traps are and was thinking of getting one for my desk cause the store said they thrive in low light and dont even need to be by a window! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME OTHER WISE SO I DONT HAVE A DEATH ON MY HANDS
My plants died too. :( I was growing corn and sunflower in the summer and yes, watching them grow slowly but surely, getting stronger and more beautiful brought me so much joy. Sadly, I also had to watch the, slowly die and fade away. Now, they’re still in the backyard, waiting to be buried. Rest in peace sweet corn and sunflower! 😔😞 Maybe they died of root disease too. I don’t know.
I don't know too much about sunflowers but I would just assume those are seasonal plants that die off after the summer. But yeah it is definitely a great feeling seeing the plants thriving and growing. thanks for sharing!
two things that help flytraps roots stay healthy is one a deep pot so the water reservoir doesn't get near the crown, and two sand add a decent amount of silica sand to the medium to add aeration and drainage pearlite doesn't do enough for constantly waterlogged plants.
Yo I still grow those! (Well mostly Nepenthes/pitcher plants) Try to give you're pitcher plant some extra humidity they like it, also pitcher plants like spagnum mos and perlite 50/50 more than peat. I've grown one from seed and another that is now worth $150 and someday will have pitchers over a foot long.
I am currently growing dragon fruit cacti and they look pretty good although their soil requires a little bit of time to dry up to kill the mold that tries to appear and potentially do harm
Boiling hot water and or bleach down your kitchen sink for fung7s gnats. Top planters with rocks, pebbles, and maybe sand. To prevent flies from laying eggs in the planters.
I got my own Venus fly trap a little while ago and I live in a pretty cold climate so I bought a climate controlled succulent pot with a grow light these are perfect for when your house doesn’t have a lot of sun I also had to feed it fish flakes because I couldn’t find any bugs and they can’t eat meat even though they’re called carnivorous it’s great to watch this video and learn more about my new little plant friend and it’s great that more people seem to be showing interest in these plants this video made me smile knowing there are more people who like carnivorous plants
So, as long as you live in a place that is south carolina levels of warm or warmer, you can just plop your Venus fly trap outside for the winter. It should be just fine as long as you make sure it doesn't dry out
The flytraps on the flowerstock was a rare genetic mutation in flytraps and other plants called "reverse vivipary" which is a plant growing on the flower stock. This happens to me sometimes with my plants so yeah it Marty was happy but since root rot was inflicted on the poor thing it just succumbed to the root rot.
Hey just a piece of advice from someone who did the exact same thing, don't let your plants eat TO MANY flies, the flies are more like a supplement for your plant due to it's harsh living conditions, but digesting insects takes a lot of energy to do, that's how my plans died.
I was lucky enough to be blessed with green fingers. I don't do that much gardening other than what you have to living rural and growing a lot of your own food. I brough home a little cutting from a plant and while I water her I don't do much more than that. In summer I do nothing and just leave her out and the rain waters for me (I live in a country with weak UV so the plants don't shrivel and die). She is still alive and thriving over a year later. She is a pain to cut as my little cutting has decided to turn into a bush but I adore to colour. A vibrant purple with splashes of neon pink. I have two others where one decided to bloom on me For anyone wondering it is called a Coleus
Tbh, looking at the thumbnail, the first picture kinda looks like a dead peashooter with no stem + a second head, also tried to fire a pea, but the pea was flat and got near 2 inches of height.
My rule of thumb is if the plant can’t handle how I water and sun it it wasn’t strong enough to be my houseplant. I also work at a grocery store so I get a lot of house plants sometimes.
Mart JR also droseras can grow basically anywhere: good stuff, fancy stuff, sandpit sand. so get one of those ps drosera is a sundew for all the non plant nerds
Potential names for your new flytrap: Snappy, Chompy, Carnivine (obvious reasons), Venus, Nibbles, Marty II (or Marty 2 or Marty Jr.), Audrey III, or James (since one of his Pokémon is Victreebel)
11:24 a way of telling if it’s going trough dormancy is by looking at all the tall ones, are they dying off, if they are it means there going trough dormancy.
WOW you were able to kill a mint plant now THAT IS IMPRESSIVE. Also , I know the pain of having to deal with root rot with indoor plants rip my phalaenopsis orchid so I feel your pain on that one
How on earth do you fail to grow mint? I just threw a couple leaves and a hole I filled with banana peels and dirt. And now I have a pillar of mint in my backyard no extra work needed.
