Carnivorous Plant Bog Barrel Update | Spring 2023

A short video showing off the first signs of life in my outside bog barrels. Despite a short start to the year the plants are finally starting to take off outside.

WOW, never saw a Venus Fly Trap flowering in May before! I have read they flower in their native habitat in February! I guess the science of Phenology puts your location about 3 months behind !

Hello

[@sivanagarajah913]

In your experience, how many pitchers does a medium sized sarracenia rhizome produce? My sarracenia seems to only have one pitcher developing at the moment.

[@carnivorous_plant_girl]

It really is dependant on the plant. I’ve seen flavas produce several pitchers from one medium rhizome. Whereas I have some leucophyllas and flava rubricorpras which one produce one or two pitchers on a medium-large rhizome in a year. Each Sarracenia is different and some produce more than others

Do you have a video of how you put the bog together?

[@carnivorous_plant_girl]

No I never made a video of when I made these. I do have an article on how you can put one together and the process I used when I made mine on my Blog (The Carnivorous Greenhouse)

Do your bog barrels have drainage holes?

[@carnivorous_plant_girl]

No they don’t
