My Entire Carnivorous Plant Collection ( Sundew, Sarracenia, and Fly Traps )
Рет қаралды 91,961
Күн бұрынA overview of my entire carnivorous collection, this includes sundews, sarracenia and venus fly traps. I really love the sundews I think they are just so pretty with the dew! I hope this was either eye opening or educational to a whole new species of plant to collect!

Oh wow. I just got a sundew and wanted to look up care for it and I went to ur video first. Then i wanted to ask u abt lighting. Thats what is the biggest thing I need to invest in and understand. Yes, I am a scientist but I never had to worry abt this kind of stuff, it was already taken care of. Im not arrogant bc of the degree, I am ready to learn from any & everyone, young & old, degrees & no degrees. Seems like u are a jackpot of info & my new favorite channel. The videos look really cool from the titles & thumbnails. I will get to that point someday but educating myself comes first. Its a big difference doing experiments & actually knowing the nuts & bolts abt caring & understanding plants. I am a geneticist I grew plants on petri dishes & then pulled the DNA out and sought to answer questions at the molecular level. I am happy to be going back & learning all u have to share with us. Thnks. Also I may still have questions abt lights. I will see if the info is already here first.

I have just started with carnivorous plants and grow them indoors and I have one BIG question, what about dormancy? Nepenthes I know don't need it, but I have Sarracenia ,VFT and Drosera. What do I do with them in winter? As I mentioned I grow them indoors , I have them under good lighting and in high humidity and warm temperature. I read that if some carnivorous plants don't get their dormancy they will weaken and die. How do I prevent this? Do i trim them and put them in my fridge? I don't want to put them outside because winters here in Finland will get too cold. I would really appreciate the help!

@AtraxJoe 4 жыл бұрын
@@TechplantChannel To be honest, doing an indoor dormancy with Flytraps is one of the easiest things 😉. First you can put them outside for acclimatization till the temps at night drops min to around 7 C°. After that you take them indoors and get rid of all the leaves and the substrate, clean the roots excessively precise. Give them a brief spray with an anti mould spray for plants, just a little bit. Wrap the roots with some moist paper towel, just for keeping the roots moist, and give the paper towel itself a quick spray with the anti mold spray too. Now you can stack a lot of Dionaea in a tight Tupperware box and put it into the fridge, but of course, you've to clean the box first very very precisely. In the fridge, at around 4 C°, you can store them easily till the next spring, just double-check from time to time that the paper towels resp the roots stay moist. That's it. I'm doing this since, hm, think 18 years now..... It works excellent. Cheers. P.s. I think there are some videos about this technique on KZfaq at the meantime.

Loved this video, thank you! I had no idea sundews could be propagated by leaf cuttings. I will give that a try. I had some flowering during the summer but I wasn't sure if I was getting seeds or just debris. I scattered it all over some sphagnum anyway! :) Only occasionally do I get enthused by insectivorous plants, at least as far as keeping them goes. I've just planted up a jar terrarium with Drosera, Nepenthes and Sarracenia. Cultivars of these are something I am completely ignorant of. I like the box set-ups you have and might try that out. Subscribed to see what other clever ideas you have! Keep well! Terry

I would get some kind of tropical sundew. Drosera Capensis is pretty good. If you get one its a lot easier if it gets good consistent light all year long from some kind of electric light source (unless you live really close to the equator) then keep its pot in a bowl of DISTILLED water. as for feeding lots of people make a gallon jug of maxsea fertilizer and you just put a drop or two on the leaves, be careful not to put fertilizer in the substrate. too much and your plant is toast. I mean if it catches lots of flys thats good enough too.

Do they need grow lights
@TechplantChannel 3 жыл бұрын
if you want to prevent them from going through dormancy periods then yes, because the natural sun cycle will send them into it. Plus with grow lights you can make sure they get enough light to produce the nice red colorations

Use a syringe to meticulously put droplets of liquid fertilizer on the leaves lol. takes a lot of time but if it gets in the soil they die.

When you talk about feeding the plants, to keed them alive, what type of feeding are you talking about, insekts or nutrition ?
@TechplantChannel 4 жыл бұрын
Both, Because i have fungus gnat infestation in my other plants they eat a lot of them. But i also mix Maxsea in distilled water and use a small medical syringe to put droplets on the leaves. If you get it on the soil you could kill the plant. I can make a video about feeding these soon!

A new species of petiolaris sundew was formed when one of the known species was propigated via tissue culture. One of the plants changed into something completely else. You should do some research. May have happened to you.
