[@elihutfles1146]

Note to any novice flytrap growers: Venus' flytraps actually expend a huge amount of energy whenever they close a trap, and closing more than a few traps at the same time is very hard on the plant. Not to say that Justin is inexperienced with flytraps, and I'm sure he knows what he is doing, but this means that you should try not to close traps unnecessarily, like putting your finger in them, and also that you should not purposefully feed multiple traps at the same time. Just one or two trap feedings at a time will keep your flytrap healthy and strong.

[@victiniblast]

Good advice. My venus flytrap goes outside in the summer and feasts whenever a fly decides to go on the plant. Mine are doing too well.

[@akhilennium]

Daily feed or weekly once?

[@potatopoii2720]

[@Ravenesque]

I've had my VFT for 3 years now, and it just keeps on getting bigger and more beautiful :) Here is what I do Its on a south facing window sill year round. window is open as much as possible, and it gets as much sunlight/air as possible I overwinter it an unheated south facing conservatory. VFTs need dormancy to stay healthy. I have a friend in Florida who overwinters theirs in their fridge Rainwater only - I keep the soil damp but not dripping Feed it a couple of insects a month - usually moths Keep an eye out for blackened leaves and pick those off Make sure it doesnt have any mites etc (treat with neem oil) Othewwise, sit back and let it do its thing!

[@kenjiro2676]

Raven esque where do you live?(probably the reason why it’s grown indoors)

[@alexisstein9615]

I'm in germany and do the same thing. I catch flies and feed them to it and i only water from the bottom. The fridge suggestion is interesting. I struggled a bit keeping it in a bright enough but not too warm place during winter. Oh and mine burned badly ones during summer getting full on south facing window sunshine, that's why i like to keep it behind another plant for a bit of shade when it is super hot and sunny here.

[@living4himjoshayden]

[@tothgabi2494]

In the dormancy period what is the average temperature that you keep it in?

[@stevenmossner9667]

@@tothgabi2494 dormancy temps should be around between 30-50 degrees Fahrenheit for about 3-4 months. They're native to north Carolina so I have Wilmington nc saved on my weather app to follow as closely as possible. In NY I overwinter mine in my unheated garage

[@Samm-vx1no]

Hey guys, for the Venus flytraps, make sure to put them somewhere cold during the winter, this is called dormancy where they can focus on their roots. It’s best to do this unless if your winters are harsh and the Venus flytrap will freeze completely, but I live in Virginia and mine do just fine during winters.

[@buggsy5]

I leave my VFTs outdoors year around and they freeze/thaw multiple times during the winter - sometimes as cold as -10 degrees F for a week or two. They do just fine.

Such a great video! I live in the US and I’ve had my King Henry Venus flytrap for about a year and half now, and it’s been really happy sitting in a cup of distilled water in front of a sunny window! When I was researching the plant, and later talking to the staff where I bought the flytrap, they didn’t recommend giving it tap water. I’m not sure if it had to do with the California tap water, or maybe just common things found in tap water across the US, but I just thought that I’d add to the carnivorous plant conversation here in the comments! :^)

[@emilianoromero-cano2605]

Hector Montecino Campagna you also have to think about how most plants produced for commercial sale are not going to be seed grown, they’ll be tissue culture. So every single plant that is tissue culture will have the same exact genes as it’s parent. This could be a problem as you’d be introducing a mass mono genetic population into the natural gene pool. Unfortunately it’s not as simple as re introduction.

Has yours produced lots of new pitchers? I have 5, and though the leaves all appear very healthy, they never keep the pitchers that they came to me with for very long. They also have trouble producing new ones. The two plants I bought from a grower have developed new pitchers, but not the plants I bought from a big box store. I only use distilled water, mist them several times a day, and keep the growth media damp. I'm curious how you keep yours happy?

[@sharfinbean3362]

Tracey Glimmer I put mine outside in the summer and It catches a lot of bugs in the pitcher, then it makes more pitchers. It doesn’t do much in the winter but maybe get a new leaf or two, no new pitchers in winter. Also I keep very moist with RO water and mines planted in spagnum, perlite and charcoal mix

[@traceyg2703]

Thank you for responding! should try moving them outdoors, because that's one thing I haven't tried and maybe mine stay dormant for that reason :)

[@CarniFlora]

Tracey Glimmer there are many different nepenthes species. Some make new pitchers quite easily others are really hard to grow indoors. The Nepenthes Bloody Mary is our easiest plant to keep indoors which I would recommend to anyone starting to grow Nepenthes. For the harder to grow varieties growth often can be improved by raising humidity. Placing a bowl with water under your Nepenthes may be sufficient. It may raise the humidity near the plant just enough.

[@traceyg2703]

Thanks so much for this tip! I learned from watching your interview here that I might be wrong in keeping some of my nepenthes in hanging pots which could be keeping them too dry. I'm going to try your suggestion instead because I really love these plants!

If you only talk about plants in Dutch, to Dutch people in a Dutch context, and then suddenly have to speak English for an international audience, it can be awkward. I know some very knowledgeable people who seem quite dumb if they talk about their field of work in English, just because they can’t fully express themselves and translate their knowledge.

[@buggsy5]

Yes, cut off the old pitchers - being careful to not damage the new growth. The exceptions are S. rosea, S. purpurea and their hybrids - as those tend to be very slow growing. Wait to cut off the previous years growth when it starts to die back in June or July.

I just bought three Nepenthes (sp).. the pitcher plants shown last, from another nursery in the states. I'm an ok houseplants owner, nothing exotic... but, I had to try these plants. I got them last week...one is getting decent leaves, the other two, have some growth, but a couple of leaves are yellowing. A pitcher bud on one got crispy, dried.. so that won't do anything. The other pitcher buds are very small, but maybe will be fine. I have them grouped together (3" and 4" pots), in a clear plastic tub, with a layer wet sphagnum moss...with the pots sitting on the moss...plus, a small dish of distilled water for extra humidity. I bought special soil specifically for the plants from the nursery, and mixed in some sphagnum moss. The pots are very damp, a little soggy. I used nothing but distilled water. I have a plant light bulb directed at the tub, for light. So... I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew, as far as trying to grow these plants.. lol. We shall see. I'm trying to give them the right environment...fingers crossed.

They have 3 hairs per side, if two are triggered the trap closes, if they're not triggered again within a certain time frame it opens(false alarm). If the hairs are triggered several times after the initial trigger it closes tighter and tighter until the trap is fully sealed then releases the enzymes. Basically a flytrap will only close properly if triggered multiple times over several minutes by, let's say, a struggling fly, not a drop of water or a child's finger.

[@buggsy5]

Temperate climate carnivorous plants should be grown outdoors, most in full sun. It is OK to bring them indoors for a short time, but return them to the outdoors for most of the time. There are plenty of decent detailed guides available on line. There are also a tremendous number of lousy guides - so take care. Basically, if the guide states you can grown carnivorous plants indoors (especially in a terrarium) go somewhere else - they give lousy advice. The exception is Nepenthes which, with enough filtered sunlight, can thrive in a southern facing window.

I've had the same issue. Tap water can apparently be a problem because of the chlorine so distilled water is recommended. Full sun is also recommended. Other than that I have no idea bc I have killed three. I live in Florida in the US so I thought maybe it was too hot.

Ken Donsky Tap water was your issue, most residential tap water is above the ppm limit that insectivorous plants have and it will cause a build up of minerals and nutrients in the soil that will kill your plant. Uhm you got a sarracenia which catch larger prey.. it’s not gonna help at all with a gnat issue.. get a sundew or treat your gnat problem with a natural insecticide. For the love of god please do your research when investing in a plant and killing it a week later and being like “iDk HOw iT diED????? “

"how can you keep this plants indoors?" badly, keep your sarracenias and vft outdoors they will be much healthier they like full sun

[@gayjojofan1905]

@@tropicalterrarium1742 Not very true. Humidity is not needed for them to be healthy. I keep my venus flytraps and sarracenia in full sun outside with no greenhouse.

@@tropicalterrarium1742 ​ Tropical Terrarium I don't recommend keeping most carnivorous plants indoors as they can't get optimal light, if you read most carnivorous plant forums, even the experts call them death traps. Even if you have grow lights it will cost a lot of money and most CPs need a dormancy which is hard to reanact indoors. Outside is the best option.

Good job the lady knew what she was doing as he wasnt that good in giving out information!

[@sphillips6357]

So in a grow house environment like this how do you feed that many plants? Or do they all grow just fine without the addition of an occasional insect?

[@buggsy5]

They grow fine without feeding for quite a while. But they may do a light foliar feeding every month or two.
