Nepenthes Pricing: Understanding the Cost

[@lakmaleeliyanage621]

I am from sri lanka and I love growing nepenthes I am 13 years old few months before my mother bought me a nepenthes bloody mary and a nepenthes ventricosa

[@Roundcricket1212]

Ok?

[@TheOldestSoul]

Lol dude, it amazes me how you just rattle off those strung together hybrid names so fast and so effortlessly as though you're reciting the first letters of the alphabet. Keep up the good work!

[@redleafexotics4722]

Hah I don’t even know how I do it. I guess like any parent you just know your children’s names lol Thanks so much!

[@allenm7804]

Bro you are the only active nepenthes channel! Im manifesting a good year in youtube for you and your channel to grow exponentially! Dom your effort is being seen and is appreciated for bringing us content to enjoy especially since Nepenthes content on youtube is very scares

[@redleafexotics4722]

Thanks so much Allen! Glad you’re enjoying!:) Dom

[@World_of_Cacti]

Hi love the video! I always get nepenthes while they are small, I just find them so cute. I prefer seed grown most times, unless it's a plant I could never afford unless it was cloned haha. 🌱🌺

[@redleafexotics4722]

Hi! Thank you:) It's fun to watch how they change as they mature. I totally understand! Sometimes you just need it! lol Thanks!

[@EarthsGeomancer]

I'll stick with my Ventrata. 😅😅😅

[@redleafexotics4722]

Haha

[@ScaryFear]

I'm glad you showed that one in the background. I kept staring at it. I have a personal limit to not spend more than $150 on a plant and I rarely ever do that. Maybe if I get a huge amount of cash gifts for Christmas. I prefer plants from 0 - 60 dollars. I have to REALLY want something to go above that. I wish some nepenthes weren't so stupidly expensive and readily available. There are some I may never have because of my personal limit or they are so rare I missed my chance when they were available.

[@redleafexotics4722]

Limits are important! I never had any and would have to ask my family and friends to help! Ha there will always be affordable one and the market has a long way to go. With Hybridizing and the growth of the hobby, there will be more plants available in the coming years, but there will always be those new showy hybrids with a tag. Thankfully they aren’t aroids ha

[@chriswaldron2617]

Any chance of another greenhouse tour sometime soon?

[@redleafexotics4722]

Yes! I usually do it around this time. Waiting for the plants to pump out those spring pitchers;)

[@SirDiabz]

He actually put one up yesterday! :D

[@lemoneater6690]

i got one for 1 dollar

[@vivimannequin]

What species?

[@yuukihinamori2310]

I agree that some are expensive but I understand since there are factors to consider and you fully showcased all of them so I am happy to stumble on your video. Managed to snag a baby ventrata for $5 (has 8 pitchers but due to shipping, lost 4 but I am positive that it will thrive well) but I can imagined that it is very expensive if it's the mature one hahaha and if it's the more exotic looking nepenthes.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Really nice video :D It's really too bad that you don't ship to Canada!

[@guillettoaparicio13]

Your best video! I’ve not only understood the price of nepenthes, but also nepenthes’ physiology! I see they grow slowly. If that wasn’t the case, everybody would have nepenthes of 1000$. Your video has helped me to be patient with mine’s!

[@redleafexotics4722]

Thanks Guillermo:) Some can be very slow and hard to prop for sure. Some of them really are worth those prices, others are priceless! hahaha

[@simonkrukowski4706]

Is the green moss all around your greenhouses sphagnum? If it is what kind is it and did you buy it alive or in dry bricks? It makes your greenhouses look so good I want to figure out if it’s possible for me to get the same moss for my terrarium.

[@redleafexotics4722]

Hi Simon, It is all sphagnum. Some is from our outdoor bog gardens and sometimes it comes along with plants from friends. :) I see it on ebay a lot! Check it out. Thanks!

[@karenmyers9146]

How are you able to tell the girls from the boys. Special testing

[@redleafexotics4722]

Not until they flower. Unless it’s a sexually confirmed clone from tc or cuttings.

[@chadulifera167]

If I’d want to sell nepenthes? should I apply this to my own prices?

[@redleafexotics4722]

Yes! If you ask $500 make sure those parents are insane! ha

[@kyawthuta9058]

Thanks Dominic! This is just the video I needed.

[@JohnJames.]

I finally found a different species, just labeled "viking " has lots of shoots and very black leafs, and from what I see squat pitchers, 9.99 , fly traps where 14.99 lol

[@karenmyers9146]

How difficult are they to grow from seeds

[@redleafexotics4722]

Not too difficult. They take anywhere from 4 - 6 weeks to sprout. Sometimes longer. It takes around a year or two to see any features. Sometimes slow! ha

[@davelindstrom4008]

Yet another great vid bro three thumbs up {again} gorgeous tub veich still hoping for that truncata vid never enough of them thanks always for the knowledge we all appreciate it

[@redleafexotics4722]

Thanks D! We will most likely do truncs after they flower and when it's warmer. They look best in Summer!

[@jret65541]

How can I buy a Hamata???

[@vacciniumaugustifolium1420]

By giving $150+ in exchange? They are not that hard to get but they are expensive

[@stevec.1319]

Excellent video Dom. Thanks.

[@redleafexotics4722]

Thank you!

[@darioruffato9373]

Thank you for your videos man. They’re awesome and contain a lot of information I can’t find anywhere else 🙌

[@henriquesouza9925]

200 dolars for a graciliflora? are u kidding? here on my city i sell one twice as big for 10 dolars. You are a thief

[@b1merio]

I don't know why, but the word "squat" creeps me out lol

[@Roundcricket1212]

You come up with my favorate hybrids

[@the_animal_ark]

This helped me a lot and made me understand I could never own a. Nepenthes

[@ryanlarge7745]

Lmao anyone can own one it’s easy as hell depends on which species tho

[@noonespecial321]

Just buy a ventrata, they grow in almost all conditions

[@treck87]

Big Box stores have nepenthes ventrata seedlings for $7.00.... Is your price limit $5.00 or something??

💚💚💚

[@gloriacanine4728]

The information was great ! I’m a new enthusiast I have three plants that live outside most of the year. I just added a N. Jungle Bells. I bought it because of its color, thanks to your video it will be a couple of years before I will know for sure. Is there a way to know when you order a plant if it’s seed or culture? My first plant is a giant it’s a few years old and puts out blooms I have found out it’s a male plant. Not sure what I’ll do with that information. I’m very interested in learning more about the species. Thanks for the information, Gloria

[@davideickhoff2954]

Another great educational video Dom! How about a video featuring problems encountered with leaves (e.g. red or purpling on typically green foliage), pitchers (e.g. deformed pitchers), and flowers (e.g. aborting)? Insect (e.g. scale) and other pests (e.g. mollusks, rodents)? What insecticides and fungicides? Topical or systemic? It might be good to hear about some of the challenges that present themselves with growing Nepenthes as well.

[@chrisschaefer5523]

How do you come up with the names? Just by putting the parents names together? Which comes first male or or female?

[@redleafexotics4722]

Yes by putting them together with The female always being first.

[@chrisschaefer5523]

@@redleafexotics4722 so the name just gets longer and longer the more you breed already crossed plants?

[@markcoutts1796]

Thanks for the video. It was nice to know what aspects of a plant's details determine it's value. It's a shame I don't have a greenhouse so there is no point in me spending a huge amount of money on a really special napenthe because it will never live up to its full potential in my flat, but it's still nice to know why I see some for what appear to be outrageous amounts & understand they may not be as outrageously priced as they appear after all. ! Lol. Your passion for these plant's is a little infectious also! 😁

[@ninetofive5864]

This confuses me so much as with the different types of plants and how you are to care for them. What do you do when it cools down? As winter here can be very cold and I honestly don't know if I should leave them outside in my shadehouse or bring them inside. Could you give me some ideas.

[@babyje5u564]

How do u get the seeds

[@redleafexotics4722]

We mainly import plants. The seeds have to be collected from a female plant after it’s pollinated and ready to harvest. Thanks!

[@waynecummins9713]

Wow 👍 🇬🇧

[@thimoschreiber4275]

How rare are Bicalcarata and hamata in the market? I recently got seeds and plants of them and wanted to know if i was lucky or just normal

No you have to use rain water or distilled water

You can as long as the ppm is low. But since you stated that you're nepenthes is thriving on well water then it's fine.
