"4 people are gonna watch" HAHAHA

[@DelRae]

When snow actually makes you warmer because it blocks out the wind and chill

Looking forward to this spring

[@botanicalchaos]

Yeah me too. That’s why I’m not very active in the winter.

So happy I stumbled upon this channel. I love your content so far!

[@ot7stan207]

I commend u for ur enthusiasm !

[@jesselynfrompushingdandeli5119]

Not a SINGLE dislike in sight.

[@Peppermon22]

This is great! Living in Idaho I need to find plants for my yard.

[@francisbakininthekitchen2441]

I just got into gardening this year ☺

[@captainaddy9591]

I live in BC, Canada where it gets about -20C (-4F) or so in the winter. What kind of carnivorous plants would do well outside in the garden?But this is also a semi-desert area where it does reach a high of 40C (100F+) in the summer too. I live in the Okanagan area btw. What kind of plants would be fine?

[@botanicalchaos]

Sarracenia purpurea is the most cold hardy carnivorous plant. Any temperate carnivorous plant would do fine as long as you cover them up when below 20F.

[@captainaddy9591]

@@botanicalchaos How would you recommend I cover them up?

[@jayrowe6473]

What state are you located? I was thinking about putting an elevated planter in a boggy section of my yard and I was wondering about how a long winter would affect these. It can get down to single digits at night for about 3 months and the highs can reach only about the 20s during that period. What carnivorous plants would be suitable for that?

[@botanicalchaos]

Sarracenia purpurea would do fine there. I would recommend covering them every night though.

[@ot7stan207]

How do they survive? doesnt the water inside their bodies also freeze n hurt them?

[@botanicalchaos]

I honestly don’t know but it does freeze in their natural environment

It's been years since my biology class days, but I vaguely recall that plant cells are more rigid than animal or fungi cells. Might make them more resistant to cold damage? Don't quote me on this.

@@Bluecho4 Plant cells have an actual cell wall unlike animal cells so yes, you are correct about that

Bruh how are you standing out in snow with those jeans, I woulda been packing

SNOW it doesn't snow where I live. I'm a lucky ducky

[@captainaddy9591]

What do you water your carnivorous plants with? I heard you have to water them with distilled water

[@botanicalchaos]

Where I live, rain does 75% of the work for me. I use tap water occasionally (not recommend until you get your tap water tested) but I do recommend rain, distilled, or reverse osmosis water.

[@ghostmemory2706]

hmmmm

[@alexandramarkham8081]

Can the venus fly traps handle negative temperatures? (Like ferinhite, not celcius) I was just wondering since I live in Idaho and it gets in the negatives here. Or would I have to bring them in during the winter?

[@monke1919]

Nope. Purpereas would survive though

[@KooolaBe]

juyhhhhh

Tldw; Snow
