Carnivorous Plant Diseases, Pests, and Cures with Damon Collingsworth

[@lesamos8900]

good talks but needs to show example of each pest damage so us beginers can identify the problems

[@ElmoRitter]

I've linked to this video on reddit perhaps 100 times, literally. Thanks ICPS for getting in Damon, and thanks Damon for getting straight to the point and dispelling the million myths that are out there.

I got the Medallion, you guys did not mention how do you use it on your Cps. I have root rot on some of my Heliamphoras but I don't know how to use Medallion on them. Do I submerge the whole plant in it. Do I water and soak the soil? Hope you can help, Have tried everything else and nothing has worked. I did not know that some fungi could be so difficult.

[@samuelmiensinompe4902]

Have you ever tried neem oil for fungi on cps?

[@spencer5082]

You mention using a water hose/sink to hit the plants with a stiff stream. So it's okay to use tap water some? I only use RO water in which I make myself.

It would depend on your ppm from your hose or tap. Nurseries and greenhouses sinks and hoses are usually hooked up with an R/O system so it’s good to use water.

I saw a stupid amount of what I now realize was a fungal gnat larvae on my baby pingucula. It was a ping the size of like a dime. Aaaaaaàaa

I don’t know why this video doesn’t have more views but this was an amazing video! Very informative. Does suck that’s pesticide = no good to other good bugs and animals :(

I just recently found spider mites on one of my big pings. I am trying to spot treat it as it hasn’t spread all around my collection. I did isolate my ping until I don’t see any signs of them. I used a cotton swab and a miticide insecticide. I have a rather large ping collection. I don’t want to lose them to these annoying little almost invisible boogers. 😡 it’s war, spider mites! Thank you for this wonderful informative video…I am saving it in my watch later saved videos

a few months ago, I also couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my nepenthes. I saw what looked like a little twig just hanging from a leaf. I stepped away for a but to go grab my magnifying glass, a flashlight and a few other items…. Well hat little twig was moving! It was a tiny inch worm munching on my nepenthes! 😡😡😡 I killed him.
