yes please feeding

[@Percy_Fawcett]

The flower stem tends to grow in height to prevent pollinators from being caught by the traps, it doesn't mean they need more sun ; )

[@TechplantChannel]

I learned that recently and it makes perfect sense

[@christopherholden66]

A lot of people don't know this but when you do the divisions there actually can be genetic recombination they can happen from propagating plants it's just very rare tho

[@TechplantChannel]

I think that happend with my one plant!

[@williammoore2982]

A friend of mine started out with a venus flytrap,then purchased a pitcherplant , started propagating, and now he sells them locally here in Sylva, N.C.. So keep up the good work there lad.

[@TechplantChannel]

Amazing! Yeah I think I will propagate some more!

[@Nahnahmattman]

The flowers are so high so that the pollinators dont get trapped and are able t make it to the next flower =] great video.

[@TechplantChannel]

yeah i learned this recently and its such a cool feature!

[@ClausCarnivores]

Great video, as a sundew lover I have a lot of them, too (I do timelapse movies, they move really fast and fascinating). You can feed them quite good with fish food but in general if they grow outside it is not needed (they catch a lot of bugs, too).

[@TechplantChannel]

Looks great, i have nepenthes, flytraps and saracchenia for almost 2 years now. They are for sure my favorite plants 😊

[@TechplantChannel]

low maintenance and so cool!

[@TJAXSUN28]

Oh wow. I just got a sundew and wanted to look up care for it and I went to ur video first. Then i wanted to ask u abt lighting. Thats what is the biggest thing I need to invest in and understand. Yes, I am a scientist but I never had to worry abt this kind of stuff, it was already taken care of. Im not arrogant bc of the degree, I am ready to learn from any & everyone, young & old, degrees & no degrees. Seems like u are a jackpot of info & my new favorite channel. The videos look really cool from the titles & thumbnails. I will get to that point someday but educating myself comes first. Its a big difference doing experiments & actually knowing the nuts & bolts abt caring & understanding plants. I am a geneticist I grew plants on petri dishes & then pulled the DNA out and sought to answer questions at the molecular level. I am happy to be going back & learning all u have to share with us. Thnks. Also I may still have questions abt lights. I will see if the info is already here first.

[@TechplantChannel]

dang im jealous of your job! ive always wanted to mess with plant DNA using like CRISPR or just subjecting them to mutagens! but im too damn dumb in that topic. if you have facebook message this page facebook.com/TechplantTv/ and i can show you what i got going because there are a few options

[@gelphaze1229]

Not bad I've bin growing carnivores plants for two years know and it looks like you got most of the basics down, I'm impressed that you manged to cultivate flytraps in doors, only the B52 was my most successful plant to grow indoors all year the rest have to be put out side, you've bin doing this for a year and with only minimum casualty what ever your doing keep doing it.

[@TechplantChannel]

My flytraps are the hardest to keep happy lol. They will need dormancy soon tho and i dont know of an easy way to do it. I think it gets way too cold out side so i fear they might just die

[@AtraxJoe]

@@TechplantChannel To be honest, doing an indoor dormancy with Flytraps is one of the easiest things 😉. First you can put them outside for acclimatization till the temps at night drops min to around 7 C°. After that you take them indoors and get rid of all the leaves and the substrate, clean the roots excessively precise. Give them a brief spray with an anti mould spray for plants, just a little bit. Wrap the roots with some moist paper towel, just for keeping the roots moist, and give the paper towel itself a quick spray with the anti mold spray too. Now you can stack a lot of Dionaea in a tight Tupperware box and put it into the fridge, but of course, you've to clean the box first very very precisely. In the fridge, at around 4 C°, you can store them easily till the next spring, just double-check from time to time that the paper towels resp the roots stay moist. That's it. I'm doing this since, hm, think 18 years now..... It works excellent. Cheers. P.s. I think there are some videos about this technique on KZbin at the meantime.

I scattered it all over some sphagnum anyway! :) Only occasionally do I get enthused by insectivorous plants, at least as far as keeping them goes. I've just planted up a jar terrarium with Drosera, Nepenthes and Sarracenia. Cultivars of these are something I am completely ignorant of. I like the box set-ups you have and might try that out.

@@josemenesesmontano411 depending on where you live, it will be fine outdoors, these things live all the way up in canada and freeze every year. Eventually your plant will need that dormancy period.

[@TechplantChannel]

I would get some kind of tropical sundew. Drosera Capensis is pretty good. If you get one its a lot easier if it gets good consistent light all year long from some kind of electric light source (unless you live really close to the equator) then keep its pot in a bowl of DISTILLED water. as for feeding lots of people make a gallon jug of maxsea fertilizer and you just put a drop or two on the leaves, be careful not to put fertilizer in the substrate. too much and your plant is toast. I mean if it catches lots of flys thats good enough too.

I keep killing any sundew, and venus flytrap. My neps, and cute little butterworts are doing great. But every time I got a vft, and sundew, they arrived in a dormant state, completely dry of any sticky dew. I had drosersa spatulata and there is almost no info specific to them. I just followed the general instructions for care of other sundews. Along with vft. But, to no avail sadly. I wonder why they were always in a "dormant state" every time I got them. I'm sure stress could be a reason. But my other plants always bounced back from any stress, but were never not " sticky" I want to grow these so bad. But I can't bare to kill any more and will stick with what I got until I can figure something out to best care for them. Maybe growing my own from seed to grow up used to my environment and not go thru any transition stress.

[@TechplantChannel]

its best to find a private dealer local too you if you can because they dont get stressed and you can see hwo they are growing. With sundews and VFT they can be dormant for months. Dont throw them out. just keep them in their wet sphagnum moss or whatever pot they came in. Just keep it wet with distilled water and eventually new leaves should pop out! a lot like it to be warmer too!
