I’ll need to order more soil this summer

That is where my pretty moss is from too. I would love to grow it but not sure how. I have tried with the moss from the plants I get but it isn’t doing all that great. I will keep at it. Thanks

I've had success pulling peices of the moss they provide and growing. Just keep it super wet and in some humidity. If cover it with something see through and keep light on it, it will grow. The wetter it is the happier it seems to be!
@kathymay88212 ай бұрын
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub I will certainly give that a try. We have super humidity here in south Florida so it shouldn’t be hard. I have it in some water but inside instead of outside so I will make those changes and keep trying. Thanks

Do you use live moss on top of your plants and if so can you recommend a good place to order it from. I think it really makes the plants look better. Thanks and I love your videos.

That's a great question, most of the moss I have has come to me as hitch hikers from California Carnivores. It's a star moss. I'm not sure where you would buy just the moss.

easier way to repot sarrs are just to hold the sarr center and fill the pot
@CarnivorousPlantsHub2 ай бұрын
I used to do that. Always had difficulty getting the rhizome right where I wanted it. This way is a bit trickier but I can be more precise. Either way works though!

How many times the venues fly trap eat in the summer and winter?
@tennesseescarnivoresextra80422 ай бұрын
Venus fly traps don’t eat during winter because of dormancy but during summer they eat as much as they can catch
@CarnivorousPlantsHub2 ай бұрын
It's hard to say to be honest. Like Tenessee said, not much in the winter. If they are outside, they get their fill. Each trap can catch like 2 to 4 insects before turning black and dying. I've never counted and each plant will be quite different.

I have one Sarracenia that ate too many flies (almost to the top of one pitcher) well it has indigestion and that pitcher has browned, it happens. On Amazon those pots are sold in bulk and expensive. Side note I have two small Sarracenia Leucophylla bare root being mailed. Currently using dehumidifier water at around 20 TDS.
@CarnivorousPlantsHub2 ай бұрын
That all sounds perfect! Yes, they can get their fill. Lol. That's just fuel for the new pitchers! Ya, they are expensive to buy in bulk, that's whay I wanted to give people options to buy them for a more reasonable price and amount. Excited for you to get your plant mail!!

I have a few pitchers, two being American, and one being a tropical. I was wondering if you had any tips for actual care for American pitchers? Not repotting. Or how to repot if you have a container made of glass or terracotta? I also have some flytraps that I need help repotting.

With the tall planters, isn't it difficult to keep the water table as high as most carnivores like?
@Pwn3dbyth3n00b2 ай бұрын
They just want it moist. They don't need their roots underwater but they can tolerate it. Sarracenia a lot more than VFT. Sarracenia can stay submerged almost indefinitely. Venus Flytraps begin experiencing root rot after being submerged for over a week or two.
@CarnivorousPlantsHub2 ай бұрын
Yes, it will require a bit more water, however for optimal growth these plants (as well as flytraps) need deeper planters for their roots to stretch out. The smaller thr planter the more root bound they can get. Smaller planters are okay when the plants are small but will stunt their growth. These plants tend to adapt to their conditions. Small planter will typically yield smaller plants in the long run. Give your plant room to grow and they will maximize in size. So yes, water is a little harder to keep up with, but it's part of growing large, healthy, strong Sarrs & Venus Flytraps.

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub For me, the challenge with tall pots isn't keeping up with the watering. It's finding a tray that's deep enough to go around them and keep the water table high.

@arvetis do you mean to prevent them from tipping over?
@arvetis2 ай бұрын
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub Tipping is one issue, yes, but also I know that most of them want their roots close to the water level in the tray. The taller the pot, the taller tray you need to keep the water at that level.
