I’m not sure what it is about carnivorous plants, it’s just very interesting, the idea of a plant consuming animal meat and other things. It feels almost otherworldly.

Hi there .....yes I agree with you. It's how they've evolved over millions of years. The fact that the plants can secrete enzymes which can actually dissolve meat is truly remarkable. With regards to sundews its like they have multiple mouths and stomachs covering all their leaves.

Nice video! Very informative! One little thing though... might not be a good idea to keep a sundew warm during winter if conditions dont allow it to grow. You might trick it into growing when its supposed to be dormant and that can take a lot of energy out of your sundew leading to slow growth during spring. Keep it watered and protected from frost. If you do have to bring it inside because of conditions, dont put under grow lights. Just a nice garage with a tiny window is what you want during winter. Altogether thou great video!

Like an idiot I got worried about not having any rainwater for a while and watered my sundew with tap water, but to make things worse I drizzled it from above. So now it has curled up black leaves in lots of places. I’ve realised what I’ve done wrong, but now how do I proceed? Leave the black leaves or remove them?

Hi, ive bought 2 drosera plants today, sundew and paradoxajavad. Here in UK we only have peat free compost, can i use this with perlite when i repot into larger pot? Great video thanks 😊
@succulentflytraps
@succulentflytraps 2 ай бұрын
Hi there .....I have heard of peat free mediums as a substitute. However without any info about the medium you're referring to I can't provide specific advice. However my recommendation is to source more information from the manufacturer of the medium you intend to use as to whether you should add perlite or not. There should be labelling specifying whether it can be used 'as is'. If so then you don't have to add perlite. Alternatively try to get in contact with any local carnivorous plant nurseries about your potting medium. They should be able to help you further. Happy growing!

Hello and thank you for your enquiry. So long as the plant is standing in a tray of water then there should be enough humidity around the plant. Therefore you don't need to place the pot plant in an aquarium....hope this helps and Happy Growing to you!

Hi there ......I've found that the plants don't mind growing together.in the same pot.However giving the plants more space by planting them in separate pots allows the long leaves to spread out nicely. This results in more presentable and FUNCTIONAL plants in the way they catch insects.. ...happy growing to you !

I bought one 5 months ago its growing fine but at the moment its having trouble captuering incests, the water droplets are pretty small any recommendations? i have been using distilled water and feeding it dead spiders (that I catch). should I just give it more time to grow? Ill honestly take any tips since Im new at this.

Hi there and thanks for your enquiry. The fact that you’re seeing droplets is a good sign. Just make sure you give your plant gets at least 5 hrs of direct sunlight with soft water in the tray. One thing I noticed with some of my plants last summer was that some got leaf bleaching. I suspect that it was as a result of the really hot days we got. The base of the leaves started getting red blotches. There was also smaller droplets and less dew on the leaves. They like plenty of light but the plants don’t like it too hot. During those hot (say above 30 degrees Celcius) you may want to place your plant in a location where it gets morning sun and afternoon shade. Alternatively you can permanently place your plant in a morning sun / afternoon shade position. So long as it get its 5hrs of morning sunlight it should be fine. Just some options to consider and experiment with to get your plants looking their best. Happy Growing to you.

@succulentflytraps Жыл бұрын
Hi there.....I find that remarkably few pests affect Drosera capensis or other sundews. I think the mucilage covered leaves do a fine job of protecting the plants from pests. I do get the occasional aphid infestation. For removal of these I dip a toothpick into the mucilage on a sundew and simply pick up the aphids using the natural glue. I've had some plants affected by mealy bugs. I spray using Conguard to help treat them.

They don't actually need humidity to survive. Humidity ....which the plants enjoy.....is a by product of the pot plants standing in water. Just aim towards giving your plant adequate light, soft water using the tray method, a peat moss based medium and your plant will love you for it!
