A technique that's worked well for me when dividing tangled root systems: Tease them apart underwater. The water and the slight buoyancy of the roots helps suspend them and keeps them from binding against each other as you tease them apart. Try it!

17:00 I agree with you Jacob, I don't think the fern roots will pose any problem at all. They don't really take up space in any obstructive kind of way, and removing them would be one of those perfectionist actions that would only damage the Sarracenia roots.
@SarraceniaNorthwest2 жыл бұрын
Yes, this would have been a nightmare for a perfectionist. Good thing I overcame those tendencies years ago, otherwise I'll still be picking out fern roots!

Thank you for this Jacob, very interesting! 20:20 It's not a corm though on a Venus fly trap. It's more like a bulb, as it is composed of leaf bases, but then it's also a little like a rhizome. It doesn't fit easily into a man-made category. But a corm is a particular, solid form of stem, not composed of a number of elements. Like crocuses and gladioli, they grow from corms.
@SarraceniaNorthwest2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching the video! I had a conversation with a botanist about that many years ago. Yes, flytraps don't neatly into any of the conventional terms. However, we both decided that, for horticultural reasons, corm was the better term to use.

Is there some species of sphagnum that are better suited for this kind of thing than others? I imagine some grow faster / taller than others. I also imagine there may be regular moss species that could work better too. Any ideas or is sphagnum just sphagnum to you?
@SarraceniaNorthwest2 жыл бұрын
We're not too familiar with the different species of sphagnum moss since they are difficult to obtain. Most of what we have were stowaways on plants that we acquired from other growers over the years.

I'm trying to get the strength up to re do all of my Sarrs. It's been several years. Most are in 5 gallon paint buckets that are starting to crumble. Thinking about getting some pond tubs so the UV rays don't break them down. Though it is very cool when removing a Sarr from a bucket and the root mass is in the shape of the bucket.

We use clear labels printed on a laser printer. We then adhere the label to the plant tag. We've been doing that for about 20 years.

Thank you for your kind comment. Glad these videos have been helpful. Yes, it's difficult to find pumice in some parts of the country. Basalt rock could also work, but it's a lot tougher to drill through, and it's a lot heavier. We'll do another videos for other rock options and growing methods.

Thanks for watching! Those plants were initially part of an experiment. We wanted to see how the rhizomes adapted to the rock and what sort of changes we need to make. The only way to find out was to unpot them and examine the rhizomes. It's also not torture. We divide Sarracenia rhizomes every spring. It's how we propagate them.

Hey there Sarracenia, my name is Peter and I'm from Eastern Michigan. I'm a disabled veteran who's passionate about growing carnivorous plants. Are you a supplier? I'm thinking about selling sundews, b52 traps, and pitchers near me next year. The ones sold by my local retailers are absolutely pathetic. Is there any way I could contact you about purchasing some next year? I think these might be popular in my area and I'm thinking about testing to see whether there's any demand for these or not. Unfortunately, I don't have much space to multiply my own plants. Thank you my friend.
