Hey guys! Sorry about the video Hiatus, I’ve been stupid busy with school and work, but I have another one in the works that should hopefully come out soon. Thank you for all your support and kind words. Keep asking questions and I’ll be happy to answer. If you guys have any specific topics you want me to cover, please feel free to request. I also grow other carnivorous plants so it’s not just limited to fly traps!

[@erich4714]

Snap Trap Carnivores Can you use purified water?

[@brianna_903]

CHLOE MANALO Yep. Distilled water and purified water are both stripped of minerals, just t rough different processes of purification. They are virtually the same and it should be safe to use. 😊

I have a few questions about mine.. and I really need help with them and Google isn't helping

[@snaptrapcarnivores2179]

@@shyannaltland816 what are your questions

[@shyannaltland816]

@@snaptrapcarnivores2179 well I just got a fly trap from lowes and I also got the growing kit but in lowes they dont get any sun and so I've been putting them in the sun but they seem so bunched together, and there like opened all the way almost folding inside out and I tried feeding on but it wouldn't close and so tomorrow I'm getting the proper soil and stuff but I'm just kind of lost like I dont know if it's going to die or something. And like I really really want this to work out but idk if it's me doing something wrong or if it's the place where I got them. But also when I got it the top stem had white mold on it and I cut the tiny piece off

[@christopherdavis6709]

Ebrake. Good luck! It doesn’t have to be expensive materials either. All you should need is distilled water, inert soil (Home Depot is good for this) and an inert pot (plastic or glazed ceramic is popular :)

I randomally found a Venus flytrap last night at my local Walmart I'm had not seen one since I was a child. Trying to learn everything I can about them. I'm so excited and hope I can keep it alive. I will be goimg to get everything I need today for my cute little plant! I'm so excited! Havent seen one since I was in grade school and im a 31 year old Mama now and loved showing my kids!! They are so excited about it as well!!

Someone help ma foking plant is dying

[@snaptrapcarnivores2179]

DESPACITO SPIDER Can you explain what’s going on? Maybe I can help

[@snaptrapcarnivores2179]

Adapt Gaming If it’s just a couple and the rest looks healthy, then that’s normal. If the whole plant is starting to turn black, that could either be a sign of something not being right for it, or even going into dormancy. Let’s start with these questions: How many hours of direct light is it getting daily? What’s the weather like outside? What are you watering with? What kind of soil is it potted in?

[@snaptrapcarnivores2179]

Adapt Gaming How long have you had it for?

[@thebreadlord9466]

FBI its funny how she just fucking gave up on saving your plant cuz you had it for three weeks

Our local fish store down town occasionally sells these, and i really wanted one but i wanted to make sure i did research first. this video is honestly so helpful. I have a well lit, warm fish room ( i breed bettas so feeding fish pellets is so convenient lmao tho i do only use really good quality ones ) so the room is already warm and humid.

[@thelagmeister]

Thank you soo much. I bought two today and they are a little rough. With your help I bet they will survive.

[@Puppy_Puppington]

u said that as if weed was a big deal

[@mindydiaz9015]

Omg I was freaking wondering if I could feed it fish food!! I am a gardener and putting fish food in the soil makes my plants so happy. My youngest son asked for one of these and found one a day later at Walmart for 2 bucks. I have no freaking clue how to grow these. I fed it a live spider I found and became so amazed. I've been reading about it for an hr now. But yea the question of feeding it fish food was the top of my list. So interesting, I don't wana feed it all my spiders I need my spiders. I guess I'll do more research.

[@ROSTOCKBEL]

Hi Thanks so much for your Video watched other videos in the past but yours was so much easier and understand For the past 3 years now I have kept venus fly traps and when it comes to winter I have been doing everything wrong watering changing the pot and of course they died so when spring comes along I go out and I buy another one and its just a vicious circle but watching your video has given me hope to try and keep my present one going at the moment it is lush and growing and I hope to keep it that way Thank you from the UK

[@angelhair7324]

I remember buying one for my high school science experiment. I had to create a biodome where everything in there tries to survive without human interaction for like a week. But back then I didn't realize I was killing it because I thought it needed LESS sunlight rather than more. I got a good grade but man I really wanted to keep raising it afterwards 🥲

[@Frenchylikeshikes]

Respect mon. You are pretty knowledgeable on the subject.

I'm currently trying to grow my first flytrap and I found this very useful! I don't completely expect my first attempt to do well, but I hope?? I had no idea that you have to massage them when u feed them. It's like burping a newborn, I'm falling more in love with this plant. (mine is still seed, I just planted it today)

Junior022008 Glad to heat it helped you out! Just be sure not to feed it too much though! I can take a lot of energy to close traps :)

[@brandonwalker9044]

It's good to feed it once a week and only a few traps. To prevent killing plant.

Very helpful video, I’m fixing to become a plant parent and keep myself knowledgeable about how to take care of them!

[@nikkiwebber1349]

Super informative video. Thanks!

[@knighttemplar221]

Just noticed your video regarding these Dionaea muscipula’s, as a South Carolina resident myself, I’d like to also add, most importantly, you must be able to manipulate their environment as well, such as the type of soil content which they easily grow in, as well as temperature and humidity levels. From my experience as a resident and a carnivore plant hobbyist, our humidity lvls are quite high even during an extended heatwave, and as you may fully be aware, they are located in the southeast portion of NC and Northeast portion of SC (Horry County) so you will also need to take in account the zonage they are located in. For me, I have managed to grow them (even in the ground in heavy clay regions by replacing the clay with sand, peat moss, fresh bark mulch (which you use to cover the ground to inhibit weed growth) and bags of decomposed small mulch, all mixed together with a small amount of clay, as the Venus flytrap grows in a region with white clay mixed in with sand and decomposed humus/peat and mulch clippings/scattered clump grasses surrounding them (from my in person observations, not from a book)....hope this helps some....for you and others interested in my in-person perception

[@rileywyatt6325]

This was a very informative video!!! You pretty much managed to answer all my questions. Thank you!! I am particularly interested in carnivores plants. I am looking forward to your future videos to be most.. informative.

[@RavenTheRiverRunner]

Can you tell us the seller please? I'm not ready to purchase, but I think amazon is where I'll need to go. I've never seen a venus fly try in real life anywhere. I'm an orchid enthusiast and would love to move into other "exotic" plants!

[@24kGoldenRocket]

@@pizzafab2350 Really? Leaves are on the ground in Spring and Autumn. They reach for the sky during the late Spring and Summer months. They turn black and die during DORMANCY in the late Autumn and Winter months. Dormancy is a necessity. Just how many days...yes DAYS... have you been cultivating VFT? You certainly did not answer the question properly.

[@momsterkiggymombiefi7249]

How often do you feed the plant & how many traps to feed when hand feeding

[@RealmSprinter]

twice a month is fine. Too many nutrients can be bad for them, so you don't have to feed them often. The heads/leafs only open and close up about 3+ times before dying/shedding and regrowing a new leaf, so be sure not to stick your finger in their jaws all the time :'D

Hi ! Great video...keep them coming !! Question.....!!

[@snaptrapcarnivores2179]

Soni Cee Hi Soni! I would look into fridge dormancy for your case. The basic gist is that you wrap the roots in something moist (LFS or paper towel maybe), ziplock it, and put it in your fridge for a couple months. I would read a little about it online to make sure you get all the steps :) I hope to be making a video about it soon (albeit a little late 😅)
