Introduction and basic care for Nepenthes

[@Mr-kn6uk]

Gday!! That plant looks kill thanks for the vid. Its very hot where I live but I manage a hand full of Nepenthes and Sundews, but man its hard work. Last year two of my plants flowered. I have to spray the leaves and fill the pitchers with river water every 2nd day in summer and are summers are long. All the best from Western Australia Shamesville!!

Gorgeous plant! I’ve been growing fly traps that I managed to save from Walmart, lol. They’ve lived 2 years and are thriving! I’m really tempted to branch out to other carnivorous varieties, but I’m just not sure I have a good enough setup to grow more yet. Glad I found your channel! ❤

Thank you! Carnivorous plants are my favorites but I grow other plants as well.

I've heard that once the fluids inside the pitchers are gone (by accidental spilling) the enzymes inside the Pitcher are not produced. Is that true?

[@sunshinecarnivores1919]

Never heard that before. But what I do know is that in most pitcher plants they produce digestive enzymes. The only ones that don't are Heliamphora Sarracenia purperea and Darlingtonia californica. The pitcher plants that I mentioned rely on bacteria to break down a meal.

Do these lay dormant?

[@sunshinecarnivores1919]

Nepenthes don't go dormant, you can grow them as house plants.
