Thx for the zero water tip! I got one right after i watched this video! I planned to get a TDS meter off amazon and i buy distilled, figure koll 2 birds with 1 stone. And this is water i can drink. Win win

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Yes! I didn't even mention the drinking water aspect. Lol. Zero pitchers are awesome!

[@Jesus-eg3yb]

A great informational video.

[@None2Lose]

Thank you so much! I was always curious if our zero water filter was sufficient enough. This confirms it! Granted, I only have 2 sundews and a pitcher plant. A gallon of RO or distilled lasts me pretty long. I then tried tap water conditioner for the sundews but negative results showed pretty quickly so I went back to RO gallons. I look forward to trying the filtered water. Thank you!

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Yes! The zero water pitcher is amazing. Just keep in mind that other water filtration systems (like Britta) do not work the same. Make sure it's a zero pitcher and you Will be good to go!

[@None2Lose]

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub Yeah exactly. We only use zero water filters. I was just unsure if it will be ok for the carnivorous plants. I only used zero water for my other plants. Out of convenience, I wanted to try the water conditioner instead of waiting for water to filter. I don't think it's working too well though. Syngonium's don't seem to like it and definitely not sundews.

What par should my grow light be set to?

[@MrSonoru]

For some reason, I did not get the plant tracker spreadsheet when I put in my email? I have checked my spam folder as well and it's not there :(

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Oh no! Shoot me an email at [e-mail] and I'll get one sent over!

A Geekpure 3 stage RO unit on Amazon that cost around 50 dollars and will make a lot more water than a zero water pitcher. I have a huge collection and go through 5 gallons of water every few days and the filters last 6 months plus. In the long run a cheaper alternative over the zero pitcher. Replacement filters for RO unit are 30 dollars.

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

I completely agree with you for a larger collection. Most people's small collection don't warrant the inconvenience and learning curve of a RO system. Zero pitcher is buy, fill and water. However, I strongly encourage RO systems once your collection is larger. I just don't think RO is great advice for a beginner grower with 3 plants.

Can we get a cape sundew care video?

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

I could do that! I'll add it to the list!

[@AntsMichigan]

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub Thank you! I could really use one too haha

[@janstewart2041]

Don’t you have an old cape sundew video already?

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

I'm pretty sure I do. I could do an updated one though. I haven't done a sundew video in a bit.

[@janstewart2041]

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub I’d still watch it

[@Jar-zw7ef]

I got a Venus fly trap from home depot but it is not doing well it is sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢 what do I do

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Here is the basics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIXJk4CGoLeni6M

[@captainofouterspace]

I think pots and soil should've probably been the most important instead of these accessories..

[@tylersimpson4936]

He already has other videos specifically on soil and what pots to use! 😊

[@MeltedToySoldier]

Trick question, they don't take "soil"

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Ya, this was more pointing out the less obvious. Anything that was an absolute necessity, I tried to leave off.

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

And yes, it's not technically soil, but most novices can relate to the word soil better than substrate.
