Thank you for watching our video. Carnivorous plants attract nectar-eating insects. Sap-eating insects, such as thrips and aphids, are not attracted to the nectar, so they are not caught be these plants. In fact, they are prone to damage by thrips and aphids. You're better off using an organic pesticide, such as neem and essential oils. We plan to do a video about that later this summer.

@@SarraceniaNorthwest Thanks that saves me a lot of time trying to find one that "might work" ! Was fun watching and thanks for the prompt response! 😎

Thank you for watching. We used medium grade. We plan to do a follow-up video using sand. Stay tuned!

That's very nice of your sister! Your plant will be better off in peat moss and perlite than in pure sphagnum moss. So, you did the right thing!

Thank you for watching our video! We would love to help you out. You can find out more about winter care with one of our videos. Watch our Volume 1 playlist. The last video in it is about winter care. The first video will also show you about watering your plant. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/carnivorous-plant-videos/ We also have a monthly care video to show you what to expect from your plants throughout the year. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/monthly-carnivorous-plant-care/ If you need assistance with your plants, we're here for you.

Gads. Had that problem too this year. What I did was pull away the live sphagnum as it had grown to several inches thick. Seemed to do the trick.

Thanks for watching. It's always best to take care of an unhealthy plant immediately. So, if the soil is harboring fungal spores, you should take heroic measures to salvage the plant. Sarracenia is pretty resilient, so it'll bounce back, though it might take a growing season or two before you see a full recovery. Hopefully, the plant wasn't a rare hybrid!

@@SarraceniaNorthwest Luckily one was...But one that bit the dust from it was a sarracenia minor okeefenokee. very sad as it was my only minor and i think they are really cool looking :c

@@cliffowens3629 I grow mine in peat/perlite 50-50 mix. so i pulled mine out, scraped the mushy gunk off and repotted. I think I saved two and lost two. :c

Thanks for watching. I need to redo this video. Hopefully we can get to it by the end of summer. A typical dosage is 2 tablespoons per gallon of water, but that dosage will depend on the strength of the concentration. You should always follow the directions provided by the manufacturer.

Thanks for watching. We have a video about top dressing. You might find that helpful. ruclips.net/video/LWZNAdViRag/видео.html

@@SarraceniaNorthwest Yes, thank you. That video answered my questions.

Thanks for watching! Glad the video was helpful.

Thanks for watching. When you see how these plants grow in the wild, the rhizomes are partly exposed and the crowns are above ground. We've found that when the rhizome is buried too deep, it doesn't grow sideways. Rather, it grows upwards toward the soil surface. This type of growth makes it difficult to divide the mother plant down the road.

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching. You'll have to use your judgement as a gardener when to repot your plants by observing when your plants are dormant and when they're actively growing. This is why we prorduce our monthly videos to show growers how our plants appear. That way they can compare them to their plants and make appropriate choices.

Right? We must have sent him some signals.

Thanks for watching! Yes, it's best to divide while the plants are dormant. Otherwise, the plant will stop growing new pitchers. Instead, it will focus on repairing the damage from the division. We divide our mother plants in March because that's a convenient time for us. After division, we hold on to the plants for a year to allow them to recover. The divisions are ready for new homes by the start of their second growing season.

Matze from Green Jaws said about flytraps that he repots them all over the year and the worst that can happen is that hey maybe not get as much color in the year you repotted them outside of dormancy

Was thinking the same thing

Sometimes you have no choice....

Thanks for watching. While it's best to repot when the plants are dormant, sometimes you just don't have a choice - timing, getting in new plants, and such. That's what this video is about - how to minimize transplant shock when repotting midseason.

Thank you for watching. It depends on how rough an individual is with the roots when repotting. The Red Dragon flytrap, however, is the most sensitive, and that's the variety that many growers tend to kill when they repot it midseason. We've based our recommendations from the questions that come through Ask The Growers.

Thank's for watching! You'll feel right at home at our nursery during early spring. That's how we process our Sarracenia. Some varieties, however, don't respond well when they're aggressivly handled during the growing season. S. flava atropurpurea and rubricorpora don't like to be transplanted. They lose their color and stop producing new pitchers.

Thank you for watching our video! Leaf burn can happen when a plant isn't acclimated to sunlight. Even a cactus grown in a shaded greenhouse will experience sunburn when placed in full sun all of a sudden. The leaf burn doesn't mean the flytrap isn't suitable for full sun. It just means it wasn't acclimated properly. It's also best to grow plants that are suitable to your climate. I would love to have a mango tree in my yard, but being in Oregon, that's not possible. So, I have to stick with apple and plum trees. There are many tropical carnivorous plants you can easily grow in Hawaii without needing winter dormancy.

You're welcome!

Unfortunately, there isn't a standard for the term purified. Many times when a bottle says purified, it was filtered through carbon filters to remove organic materials that can affect the taste. However, those filters don't remove minerals. You'll need to test the water with a TDS meter. Otherwise, look for distilled water.

Thank you for watching our video. You can grow it in tropical climate, but you'll have to accept that it won't live for more than a year. That would be true for any plant that requires a cold winter dormancy. It's always best to grow plants that are suitable for your climate. There are many tropical carnivorous plants that you can grow without any issues. Those are the plants you should explore.

@@SarraceniaNorthwest Years and years I’ve tried to have these Fly Traps and no matter what I did, they die off one way or another… I’m definitely going to try again very soon 😅😊😊😊 thank you 🙏

Thank you for watching. Yes, that would be a suitable substitute.

Thank you! We plan to redo this experiment later this summer. Stay tuned!

Thank you for watching our video. You don't need to test for chlorine. These plants are not sensitive to it. We started our nursery in Portland city limits with chlorinated water. We used water straight from the tap without any filtration. Yes, RO water can be lower than 12, but that all depends on membranes, water pressure, and starting TDS level. At the time we produced this video in 2009, that was the best we could do given the equipment we had. Now, we can get our water down to 1 ppm. However, 12 ppm is perfectly fine to use, too! The key concept is that mineral levels should be low, preferably below 50 ppm.

Thank you for watching our video! We would love to help you out. Visit the Ask The Growers page on our website. Supply us with detailed information about your care and upload a photo or two of your plants. One of our growers will get back to you shortly. www.growcarnivorousplants.com/ask-the-growers/

Thanks for watching! It really is a matter of personal taste whether to keep flowers or not. As long as your plant is healthy and growing in full sun, you can enjoy its flowers. We don't cut off our flowers, but some growers do since they're not interested in collecting seeds.

Thanks for watching our video. We did another video about using a TDS meter to measure minerals in peat moss. The conclusion was that it's not at all accurate because the TDS meter is picking up the tannins in the peat. TDS stands for total dissolved solutes. So these meters record all dissolved solutes. They don't distinguish between good solutes (tannins) and not-so-good ones (minerals). So the bottom line is that TDS meter is good to detect minerals in water, not peat. To detect minerals in peat moss, you have to use chemical reagents specific for minerals. ruclips.net/video/p9afvI0QKCQ/видео.html

@@SarraceniaNorthwest awesome!!! Thank you!!! I looked for something to answer that question and I had only seen a video where someone did what I did and got a low reading somehow so I thought mine was too high to plant anything in. I’ll watch your video on it now. Thank you very much for telling me this because I spent quite a bit of money on enough peat to fill up this large bowl and was pretty upset!

Thank you for watching. By adding perlite to your peat moss, you increase the longevity of the growing media. We also experimented with coco coir with VFT, but these plants didn't grow well in them. Coir is not acidic enough and breaks down quickly, often within one growing season because of the heavy moisture and heat of outdoor growing. You can use dried sphagnum moss to substitute peat moss. But, our results with sphagnum moss was inconsistent. Some flytraps did fine. Others perished. Only peat moss provided consistent long-term results.
