How to Pollinate Sarracenia Flowers

[@peterjacobson9549]

Wow that's amazing, super clear concise video thanks!

[@SarraceniaNorthwest]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stevetinyhallman]

That was very hepful. I realize now that I collected my seeds too early. I will know what to do next year. Thanks for educating me.

[@madambutterfly5343]

Great video! Very precise in the way to pollinate these plants.

[@jret65541]

Nice can’t wait till spring

[@greenfingers9437]

That was very informative thank you!

[@Tommyr]

Very well done as always! VERY informative! Thanks!

[@cliffowens3629]

Thanks. Been trying for seeds year after year and no success. You gave me some crucial info I've missed.

[@Jesus-eg3yb]

Great video, thank you.

[@TESLACOILER1]

Nice video, very to the point. I have a 'Hurricane Creek' that I would love to do that with. Just a great video in every way. Thank you!

[@phanhai7019]

Thank you verry verry

[@pandalf85]

Great tutorial Jeff!

[@salvatorelivreri]

Thank you for explaining this in detail. Can you clarify something? I only have one pitcher plant and it has two flowers developing. Are these plants self-pollinating? Or would I need another pitcher plant to get seeds?

[@SarraceniaNorthwest]

I'm glad the video was helpful. You can use the pollen from the same flower to pollinate same plant. This would be an F1 cross. We've done this numerous times with success. We plan to redo this video this spring in 4K, so stay tuned!

[@fenderbender4477]

Thanks for answering this. I was coming for the same info

[@sinad153]

Hi. I've got very few Sarracenia as my garden is so small. Last year I only got one flower on one plant. Is it possible to pollinate a flower with its own pollen? This year the same plant is growing two flowers. If the answer to my above question is no, is it possible to pollinate a flower from a different flower on the same plant? I'm really not worried about specific hybrids. For now I'd just be really happy to collect any seeds at all. Thank you for any help. Simon.

[@mr.cmrs.c3591]

I think I missed the window of pollinating.... I found your video a little too late. I started pollinating at the time the pollinating pistils were starting to fall off..... was i too late?? I'll keep on applying the pollen.

[@forloop7713]

Can I put the pollen on the flower where it came from and selfbreed that plant?

[@InArneSlotWeTrust97]

Wow thank you, I have some stunning flowers from my sarracenia hybrids, one started flowering late april uk and produces upto 4 foot pitchers in red vein 😍😍😍 My vfts are in flower and learnt that vsts can self pollinate with no problems but self pollinating pitchers will lead a down grade from its genes, where as cross pollinating from another cross wull lead you inyo making a mutation possibly better than parent plant?

[@SarraceniaNorthwest]

Thank you for watching! We haven't seen a degradation with F1 crosses. In fact, in some cases, we've seen improvements in vigor and color with some F1 crosses. It's just throw of the dice on how their genes are distributed.

[@InArneSlotWeTrust97]

@@SarraceniaNorthwest Thanks for reply. I did read that it was much better for different Saracenia plants to cross breed rather than self pollinate but sadly I didn't realize you should do this within 3 days of flower for best pollinating strength. Hopefully I had a busy bee doing its work between me boo flowers but I doubt it :(. Im gonna say 4 years since last time I seena bee :(. Ive seen 2 wasps this year, don't see many butterfly's, in the 80s and 90s they were rife mate. Mme Grandad would be out every morning picking caterpilers off his crops, they lil mo fos man, give em a inch they take a mile lol. Basically Insecticides have been killing off all nature pollinators and soil organisms, these are the organisms that evolved our world for billions of years and we are killing them by buying products by probably green earth brainwashed people who want to save the earth! I adore Carnivorous plants I read that VFTS do well inbreeding? I think the problem with Saracenia inbreeding is its kinda like back breeding like how sort of how nasty people tried to inbreed a certain breeds to create the XL Bully to be as close to the Greek and Roman fighting dog called the Molossian hound. Inbreeding dogs can cause alot of problems! Sorry I got a bit of point lol Did you know many insects see in ultra violet, google pitcher plants ultra violet :D

Hi i have a question i bought a sarracenia fiona in augustus do i need to Let it in winter rest or do i need to take them inside and do if it is spring? plz help i cant find any answer

[@Banrai]

Question: If I only have a single sarracenia flower, can I self-pollenate it with it's own pollen? I know they don't naturally do this, but would it work when done by hand?

[@Ressurrectinn]

Yes

[@plantguy9]

Can you pollinate the same flower with the pollen?

[@SarraceniaNorthwest]

If all you have is one flower, then yes, you can. You will have a better yield if you use a different flower.

[@plantguy9]

@@SarraceniaNorthwest Only one of my Sarracenia has flowered.

[@olsonlr]

How about planting those seeds. Is there a video for that?

[@SarraceniaNorthwest]

We post that information on our website. Check the care guide section.

[@MeliponiculturaenCostaRica]

Jeff, why don't you make more videos like this old ones as a plus from the normal podcast?

[@theodorbjorkman3064]

can Sarracenia Venosa get flowers?

[@jfnuyen]

That was a fine video. How about doing one on the Venus Flytrap. Maybe you could show your current stock of these plants and cover the ways you propagate them in order to expand your supply. I think that would make a very interesting video as well.

[@ihatemadmoe]

You should do a segment on expertvillage. You're way more informative than the person currently on expervillage about CPs.

[@sevensixtwo]

Plants are often made to flower by modifying the length of the night cycle.

[@wyattafterglow9160]

Heej :# thanks allot but i wonder do i need to put water inside the plants ? like lets call it beaks haha ! i have them inside so they wont collect rain water do i have to put water inside ? Thankss

[@TheDkdazo]

Normally if the plant has a lip covering the tube then I don't want water in side them. But if it's got a lip that's out woulds then it needs a bit. As it will collect rain water.

[@wyattafterglow9160]

Thaaaaankssss maybe that's why mine keep deiing

[@TheDkdazo]

Maybe so. I not been growing them to long. But I know a lot about them. Plus it makes sense as if it rains in the wild the lips on them are covering the tubes like a umbrella. I got 3 types one has a lip out woulds to catch rain water. I hope it helps! Sorry about the spellings and your plant. let me know if it works out for you. It's working for me. Plus thay need a lot of light.

[@randomthings92497]

I think the stamen of mine is growing molds 😢

[@0MrENigma0]

Ohhh okay... cool thanks! :-)

[@TheDkdazo]

more up to date video would be grate

[@tijmen131]

why, its the same info

[@tijmen131]

Back when he wasn't grey yet

[@juanjardines6705]

No manches

[@PaulM708]

The audio is horrible

[@misskfountain4070]

Audio was fine on mine. Maybe interference from something.

[@PaulM708]

Yeah must have had a glitch. Sounds fine now. Thanks.

[@rogadev]

360p?! Holy shit... Is you camera from the 1990's? You know they have 4k cameras in just about every modern smart phone these days, right?

[@meowmix10000]

let/make them go dormant in the winter. keep them watered, but not wet or else you run the risk of rot

[@dlubbers4499]

thanks
