I love your excitement on every little growth. It shows how much you love your plants. I love that! 🌱💞

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Ha! Its exciting seeing new growth. I'm 100% the plant nerd that swoons over every new bud or growth point. Haha.

[@mandyfair9082]

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub I'm right there with you!! I love my plants as much as I love my dog. 😆

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Haha. Plants and dogs... That's why in my close ups there is always some dog hair.

[@-AnyWho]

tip: if you do this every now and then with plants then you should put some peat in a quart jar with lid and put a bit of water in it to soak in then put container away in dark somewhere till you need to mix some up for plants ... it will be moist and mix up when you need it and ready to take in more water when you have plants to water. then you won’t have to deal with excessively dry soil floating away on you.

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

I actually do this! I keep a tub full of my mix and throw some water in it before using it. I had just made new mix and forgot to add the water... Good tip though, it's the best way to do it!

[@That125cracka]

You should do a tour showing all your plants your doing good keep it up 👍

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

I will someday! Honestly, I just dont have a ton of plants yet. Once I get the collection built up a bit more I'll start doing tours! I'm getting more here soon. And I'm sure several more before summer is over!

[@plantguy9]

Had a bunch of Amazon gift cards at my house and I ordered some carnivorous plants. Great video by the way.

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Right on! Hope you get some good ones. What did you order?

[@plantguy9]

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub Cape Sundew, Mississippi Pitcher plant (not sure if its a hybrid or not) and a S.purpurea. Since I found another gift card got a Pinguicula agnata.

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Awesome! I love getting carnivorous plant hauls in the mail. So exciting!!

[@sean2val]

try air layering with the stalk still on the plant see how that goes

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Could you explain in better detail? While it's still connected?

Finally... You've got monetize! Congrats 👏🎉

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Yes! Thank you so much for your support!

[@scottpitts3966]

Good info. I have a stalk now I snipped and planted vertically I put the stalk all the way to the bottom of the 2 1/2" pot filled with sand and peat. With water bowl. No humidity cover just my growing under a light and I can see something happening at the top of the stalk now.

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

That's awesome! If what your doing is working I'd stick with it. Although, covering might speed it up a bit. Is it a cultivar or just typicals?

[@scottpitts3966]

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub just typicals. I have a humidity dome I'll put it under.

Always pre moisten your dry peat moss at least one hour before planting anything in to it it will make your life a lot easer

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Haha. 100% true. I usually soak mine first. But didnt want to stop the video and reshoot. Its soooooo much easier to work with when you pre soak.

[@sylviosandino8478]

Oh I didn't do this part... I soaked it for only about 10 minutes...is there anything else I have to do to give it a better chance? Appreciate any help! Have a good day

[@antonsworldofvideos8096]

Watched a few of these videos and it occurred to me an easier way of doing this would be to fill up your pot and then using a spoon make a trench down the middle and push the substrate to the sides. Place your cuttings in the trench crossways and then push the substrate from the sides back to cover the ends. OH and maybe put a couple of stones in the bottom to weigh it down. Make sense at all?

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Think smarter, not harder! You are probably 100% right, that would probably make things much easier. Good tip!

[@estiben3508]

Rocks may prevent water flow going up..maybe idk..just trying to learn together

[@koncomartalegawa]

Good info. Idea:would it be more preferable to increase the contact point, to put the stems like a bridge? So we put them flat on the moss, the at end of each, we dunk some moss to cover the ends. I hope you get the idea.

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Yes! That's actually what I try to do. I try to cover up each end with a little bit of peat moss for optimal contact with the substrate. The better the contact (without being completely covered) the better the results.

[@user-he2fr1yu4u]

Is there a video or short about how it is after 60days? I might try this this week

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

I do actually, right here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3KqmoF_aa6tmacsi=Ehl9UaM20AA5JBqX

[@Trekmario1701]

Thanks great video. Any luck on growing seeds from the flowers ?

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Not yet. But I was just outside watching flies bounce between flowers. So fingers are crossed. I'll help it pollinate and hopefully the insects do their job. As soon as I have seeds, I'll get the videos up!

[@Trekmario1701]

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub good i have a few starting to flower was wondering. About that process

[@amysomerfield8550]

If you add a drop of dish soap to peat moss and mix in water will absorb!

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

That's really interesting, however I'd be really hesitant to add any dish soap to water or substrate for carnivorous plants.

[@piratedjradio]

I put my peat through a hand powered mincer i got from a charity shop it turns the dry peat into powder with no lumps you cant use it with peat and perlite though

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Oh wow, that's a really good idea. Might give that a shot!

[@tbbachy5239]

How you're not getting mold?

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

Airflow. I do get a little bit, I remove it as it develops. But having airflow when the top comes off helps.

[@josephstalin1789]

I heard that you can clone them through leaf cuttings. I'm might be wrong though. Good video comrade

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

You definitely can! I will do a video at some point propagating/cloing flytraps with leaf cuttings. It's so much easier for me to cut the flower stalk than the actually leaf. Lol. I think that's the reason I tend to clone via flower stalk more!

[@maratshaydullin57]

Propagating through cutting? Sounds like your attitude to everything comrade.

[@cnaro8073]

Can I Just use garden moss for planting in or not? And if not why?

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

I would have to see the packaging for garden moss. I dont trust mosses unless is sphagnum moss from a reputable grower. They could contain things that are hazardous to your plant. It might be fine, just depends on what it is.

[@cnaro8073]

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub as garden moss I mean the moss I found in my garden

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

It's hard to say. I dont know enough about all the mosses out there. You could always give it a try, but I think you would be better off getting some sphagnum moss.

[@blondienewton4669]

My daughters plant got a flower. I watched your other video and I'm trying to get the stalk to grow now. I did it on March 28. I cut it in 4 sections and so far 2 of the sections are still green, but no sign of growth yet. How long do you think it might take?

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

It can take 30 to 60.days for a node to hit. If something is going to happen it should be soon! Make sure they are staying wet!

[@blondienewton4669]

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub My set up is like the one you did in this video. I just changed the water today, and I mist them too about once a day. I'm very excited to see if it works!

As long as there is green, there is still a chance. Keep watering them, it takes a bit but they should produce something for you!

[@Jesus-eg3yb]

Why don’t you just premix the soil and water before potting? By the way, when you do open up your carnivorous plant nursery; you gotta make that little round table of yours part of the nursery’s display. “Where it all began.”

[@CarnivorousPlantsHub]

I usually do. I completely forgot and just pushed forward. I'm going to have to make sure the table is included haha. It's like the co star of all the videos! Lol.
