We have pitcher plants in our greenhouse. My research professor told me that our old greenhouse attendant was watering them with regular tap water (with a high mineral content) and that the plant stopped producing flowers. They then switched to deionized water and they have been producing pitchers ever since.
That's great! Plants are cool too! (and also friendily cats!). Wonderful resource for my class in Plant Sistematics in Brazil and already forwarded to them. Looking forward to see more cool plants! Thanks! Marccus Alves
I was listening to your interview today November 10, 2021 on NPR with Brian Lehrer. The woman that was being interviewed with you , how do I connect with her. Thank you
I grow these in a kiddie pool distilled water 2" up the sides of the pots, 50% peat moss/50% perlite. no dirt.. cheap and effective $20 for the pool at Tractor Supply. be sure to cut drainage holes and keep them unplugged so it doesn't flood your plants in a heavy rain. throw in a submerged bladderwort for mosquito larvae control.
Can't believe I didn't find this channel long ago! I hope there will be more videos soon. I wonder if the Botanical Society offers internships for recent college graduates w/ a BS in Biology.
Nice to see David Cross supporting education for our native plants, very cool.
wow so cool, I love pitcher plants!
oh hey funny running into ya here too wonder if it'll be a trend lmao
I'm constructing a small bog in my yard. This video as well as many others have awesome helpful information. Thanks!
I just discovered this location and since I live only 20 miles from there, it will be a monthly expedition AT LEAST! Absolutely beautiful place.

OMG! I live a mile from here (and just got back from a walk, where I saw that the pale pitchers are starting to bloom.) Cool!

Hello! We just finished filming episode three on skunk cabbage. Should be posted by early May, 2013.

Do you have the locations of these places? Not just the city/state. Thanks.
Thanks to the Missouri Botanical Garden for linking to this episode with a QR code on their pitcher plant display!
Episode 4 is now posted: "Desert Blooms and Marathon Moths"... pollination bio in the deserts of New Mexico.
Can't believe I didn't find this channel long ago!
I hope there will be more videos soon.

6:37 how is a larvae supposed to thrive there inside?
Episode Two - Fossilized Forests! has now been posted! Check it out.
How exactly does burning it down help the forest?
12:50 I thought that he was going to say that he's going to have a bug sandwich.
ever heard of sarracenia purparia SSP purparia it grows in Canada!!!
There is another Species of Pitcher Plant no mentioned here. The Northern Purple Pitcher Plant "Sarracenia purpurea."
do we know how these microbes get into these pithers?
i want a venus fly trap but i cant really find out exactly how big they get
A plant's leaf cannot get more funny than Sarracenia's. Looks like small trumpets sticking out of the ground.
Who's here from Dr. Douglas' class
anybody notice the drosera in the background?
which time?
Mysterious Hanger They are wild in the southern USA.
