Dude, you have a seriously impressive collection and it seems as though every single one of your pitchers is absolutely beautiful. You definitely know how to take care of Nepenthes and you do it well!

[@redleafexotics4722]

Dominique these plants are just awesome. They are so worth the effort!

[@IndoCropCirclesOfficial]

I have that one 32:28, and ampullaria, but their pitchers won't big, I don't know what happened? Maybe because I hung them, so their pitchers not touching the ground, why huh?

[@vincentjudah4786]

Hi Dominic I really enjoyed watching your video and I love your enthusiasm and dedication to your beautiful plants

[@redleafexotics4722]

Thank you Vincent!

You green house is breath taking, so beautiful organize , thank you for sharing .

[@ScaryFear]

I'm happy to see you have a youtube channel. Thanks for making this video. That was very enjoyable to watch. I have only recently discovered your store too and so far I'm very happy with the purchases I have made. I look forward to more in the future. I LOVE merrilliana and its hybrids. That is my fave plant and always on the look out for them. As well as Lowii crosses. I love the wide opened bell shaped pitchers so anything with lowii in it is great in my book. You have an awesome green house. I definitely like that ventx sibxmerrill at the end. That was amazing.

[@redleafexotics4722]

Aw happy to hear! Keep an eye out as ill have some juicy merrilliana and lowii hybrids in the coming months! And I thank you for your support and interest!!!

[@PatriciaWilliams6612]

Love love all your plants so beautiful. how do you get your plants to make pictures i have one that is growing good but i haven't had any pictures and what do you feed them.

[@redleafexotics4722]

Hi Patricia, Thank you! Usually the main culprit for no pitchers is low humidity. The plants really love high humidity 65% and higher. Also, they love very bright indirect light. For Indoors, I always suggest led or t5 grow lights found on ebay. Always use sphagnum moss as a potting material. They wont grow in soil. Hope that helps!!

[@heidiluna583]

I love your plant collection! you inspired me to build a nepenthes terrarium and I cant wait to order some plants from you!

Amazing Nepenthes 👌

[@nicolas_poli]

Amazing work! I have a question: how can you know whether a nepenthes is male or female before it blooms? Thanks again for that tour.

[@redleafexotics4722]

You’re welcome Nicolas! You can’t determine the sex until the plant blooms or unless it’s a confirmed male Or female clone. Thanks!!

[@howlhailstorm7031]

Are there any lemon yellow pitcher plants?

[@bringbackstpatties2967]

Nepenthes Suki is yellow and brown, reinwardtiana might be full yellow

how do ou get the moss to grow that big? it tkes like 6 mnths to even germinate and a year later it is just tiny green threads.

[@redleafexotics4722]

missanna208802 We bought some live and it spreads when in prime conditions:) bright light and pure water :)

[@missanna208802]

@@redleafexotics4722 Oh my goodness, thank you so much for responding. I wasn't really expecting a response. I want some of this, but will RO with a TDS of 50 kill it? Long story about the systems in our greenhouse and I think this is an issue primarily caused by having a tank and the tds creep that ends up in it. I think if your tap water is over 500, you should have a valve to flush off the first bit of water after the system has sat to get rid of the effluent that passes the membrane when it's not running. Anyway, sorry. If i get a plant from you, does it come in live moss?

[@youtubeisvideocloudstorage5894]

Yo. What would you think be a good lowland species to live on a sunny california windowsill?

[@Hellno888]

How to you make your nepenthes to produce such beautiful pitchers ?

[@redleafexotics4722]

thinh can Hey there:) Bright, indirect light and high humidity:)

[@toofewacres5690]

Hi! I have a question, I am getting a pitcher plant and have a fogger for humidity control. How many times should have the fogger go off per 24 hours and for how long?

[@JeanneBook]

How do you know when some are sold from the wild? Is there a thing that a person can do to prevent it.. because those plants deserves better.

[@redleafexotics4722]

Unexpected Guest there are certain plants like N. X harryana, eddy, lowii can be poached. Usually they are larger plants growing from what looks like a cutting and fit a really good price. Only buy from reputable sources to prevent poaching.

[@uxleumas]

WOW how did you even get all of those?

[@ineedmoney299]

Can I just add regular ro water to the pitchers , mine aren’t as full as yours! Lol love ya collection!

[@redleafexotics4722]

Hey! No need to add water once They are settled. It happens, But I never intentionally fill The pitchers. Thanks!

[@Salsa_Souls]

[@gary9732]

hi the loleii you say a shrew poos into the plant so if i got one of these and i do a dump into the plant would that be ok for the plant for a few weeks yea

[@redleafexotics4722]

gary wright since you are way bigger then a shrew and way different poop...no that wouldn’t work lol probably would die! Ha These do grow well in terrariums depending on the species or hybrid:) I’d say stick with ventricosa and it’s hybrids:) Thanks!!

Domonick Gravine Do you fill the nepenthes with water?

[@danevans740]

Oh man why have i never seen your videos!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@redleafexotics4722]

Dan Evans stay tuned for more 😘

[@meadmaker4525]

Some of those pitchers look awfully full of water. Is there a correct amount to have in them? I ask, because I've never seen pitchers full all the way to the top before, which would kind of defeat the purpose of an insect falling in and not being able to get out. When they're that full, the insect could simply swim to the side and climb back out on the peristome.

[@redleafexotics4722]

Meadmaker 452 Hey there, The pitchers fill with water from our mist system. It’s normal. There’s no correct amount. I only add water if it’s a new plant. Once settled they produce their own and no news to monitor it or supplement it with more. If you visit the plants in the wild many can be filled with water as well:) Even with a lot of water and pitcher fluid they capture and lure insects:)

[@meadmaker4525]

@@redleafexotics4722 - Interesting. Thanks very much for the response. I've never seen any in the wild, but have always been fascinated by them. I've recently purchased my first nepenthes plant from a local box store and am hoping it does well. The weather is turning warm and humid here in Florida, but I'm still unsure about how much light to give it. Thanks again for your response.

[@redleafexotics4722]

Meadmaker 452 you’re welcome:) they like dappled shade in Florida. Not too strong. Maybe early morning sun.

[@meadmaker4525]

@@redleafexotics4722 - I'll try that, thanks. I have a hibiscus tree in the back yard and I think hanging the nepenthes from the lower branch will create just that effect. Thanks again! :-)

Yes

Yeah but it might be risky with the fly trap

[@gary9732]

hi can you grow any of these in my dart frog tank by any chance

[@redleafexotics4722]

yes! smaller warm growing species like ampullaria work well! I just saw this comment!

[@LyndaRab]

love your trip up that mountain in Borneo ! I just got my very first Nepenthes Alata last summer. Is it a hybrid ? I guess this is good for a beginner like me. I love epipys and Angel Trumpets which I breed. on your trip up the mountain I was thinking the Nepenthes plants eat bugs and such. In Central America the Bromeliads would do the same as the nepenthes. What do you think?? What next Nepenthes plant should I get ? Thanks for your education you give us on these wonderful plants! Lynda !

[@redleafexotics4722]

Thnaks Lynda! N. alata is a species:) I love brugmansia too! They are epic if full bloom! There are a few carnivorous bromeliads..Look up brocchinia:)

[@ForestExotics]

Good video thanks

[@StefHall]

Holy Crap Domonique! These Nepenthes are amazing! Are they yours?

[@redleafexotics4722]

Thanks Stef! All my babies!!

[@StefHall]

So I just ordered my first carnivorous plant seeds to be arriving in a couple of days. I'm going to check and see if you have a video on how to get the darn things to grow. I'm also very interested as to how you mate the different types.

[@redleafexotics4722]

Nepenthes seed aren't too hard. Ill have to make a vid! Just sprinkle them on top of sphagnum moss, cover if inside and very bright light. A grow light is usually best on for 12-14 hours a day. They can take a couple weeks up to 6 months to germinate. Once they do, keep them misted and bright. To mate them you need a male and female plant. Once the female is fully open and the stigma is sticky with nectar, you collect and brush pollen over it. It takes a few months for the pod to ripen and collect seed:)

Domonick Gravine I wonder is there any nepenthes that we can grow it outdoor?

[@redleafexotics4722]

Toxic Main that depends on where you live :) Nepenthes love high humidity, bright indirect light, and temps between 55-85 depending on the species.

[@erikramos.villanueva4533]

Hey Domonick I love the way that you present your nepenthes but can I ask you in which conditions do you take care your nepenthes veitchii because I am getting into nepenthes and I want to purchase a veitchii but is it lowland or highland or intermediate.

[@redleafexotics4722]

Hey Erik, There are both lowland and highland forms, the highland forms from Bario/Kelabit highlands,Pa'Umor get their BEST color with cooler temps 75/80F daytime and 55/57 at night. Bright indirect light is best for these and most Nepenthes. Fairly easy to grow:) I grow most my plants under intermediate conditions.

[@erikramos.villanueva4533]

Domonick Gravine and could you tell me which ones are the lowland species because I can only grow lowland please

[@redleafexotics4722]
