I'm curious about letting them dry out slightly in a humid summer. I am in New Orleans and have my VFTs in glass trays that will just catch the rain water. It rains basically every day ehre in he summer so they always stay wet. Would I be optimizing them more to drain the rain water out in the summer? Thanks :)

Very sticky... Of course it's not sticky enough for us but to insects....

I recently, and rather foolishly, blindly bought two Pinguicula Weser plants, I just fell in love with them! But i noticed transit had made their leaves not very sticky, so I've been watering them with rain water, but mistng them too just to help them get back on track. But now im worried since i forgot to change the water in the spray bottle to rain water. I've only been spraying them a little for a few days. They look really happy, both currently sprouting new leaves, but I'm worried I may have hurt them. Have i killed my pings or am i being dramatic?? Lmao💀💀

I that fly trap real?!?

Peat moss with perlite or sphagnum moss with perlite as medium ?

I brought aload of hybrid sarracenia crosses over 2 years ago, most are red veined variety's , the name tags are all blank so have no idea which are which. This year I have many red flowers, one plant is producing pitchers 4 feet tall :). I do have a list of what I brought though :P.

When is deluxe plant kit restock

I just ordered 3 pitcher plants btw

rip Peter. man, it hurts so much

Hey, I've emailed you guys, but I don't have an answer yet, but in just asking if I can settle a sarracenia Purpurea ssp. Venosa on a sunny west facing windowsill with a humidifier next to it. Same thing with your DC XL Venus flytrap! (Ive read your book multiple times over, awesome book)

xX×

NICE

awesome plant

Can drosera binata heal from.root rot?

What can I do if the inside of my sarrecenia is dry? Like Theresa no liquid

Video of how it came back please!!!!!!

It’s wild to think that unrelated plant lineages could independently develop into pitcher plants. The poster plants for convergent evolution!

Rocks are not organic things. They’re made of minerals, and they’ve never been alive. They are, however, natural objects.

RIP Peter D'Amato. And thank you for all the knowledge that you shared with us all.

Yes, I know this an older video but you could insert a piece of pvc with the bottom end cut at an angle to get water to the bottom

What soil mix do i use i know you said peat moss and perlite but what were you talking about when you said the moss at the bottom of the pot?

Thank you for your knowledge. I recently bought a sarracenia no red. I think these plants rock. I now feel confident that I can do right by it.

Why don't people use rockwool for the wicking base ! It is benign and it never breaks down.

Have you ever gotten any seeds from this Utricularia species?

When will your guy's Pinguicula 'Figgy pudding' be back in stock, along with Drosera Capensis 'Alba'

I'm in Australia and I'm buying my first nepenthes later today it is a lousia from my understanding I'm just wondering what osmocote you are using for that trap and I live in a desert climate are there any special things I have to worry about we hit ridiculous highs and lows in temp I am prepared to move it in and out in the summer and winter we do have a little greenhouse but it would be the soul inhabitant when it's in there

I recently purchased a young Trumpet Pitcher Plant in a 2" pot. Do I need to do this for this size plant? Thank you for this video. 🌱💚🙏

Im really loving the channel content you got such beautiful plants 🪴 💙

How old are these plants by chance? Just curious how many years it takes to get this big 🤔

I Love These 💙

can the alien cultivar close its traps by itself?

I just got my mini bog kit on Thursday, and I’m watching this to set it up. So nice to see Peter. ❤

Question: What if a caterpillar eats my carnivorous plants? Especially my American Pitchers. It could be a question worth answering!

Oh my goodness, your guy's website, your plant conditions- So awesome! From videos I watch, I see beautiful plants, and the next thing they say, is: "I got these plants from California carnivores"

Hi! If there is 95 degrees in the summer, how much direct sunlight would you recommend for them? Im afraid they will burn from too much sun.

Yes. I’ve seen the ads for “blue Venus flytrap seeds.” But I am aware of seed scams for other plants, so I did a little reading, and learned that blue Venus flytraps don’t exist. Don’t buy those, and don’t buy anything from people saying they have blue Venus flytraps, because they are liars.

Those little worms in the dish of water are usually planaria, also known as flatworms. They’re pretty much harmless, as far as I know. Please note: I’m not talking about mosquito larvae. That’s another story.

Leaving water out for 24 hours won’t make it safe for fish, either. That’s very old advice, from back when tap water contained chlorine gas. Most tap water in the U.S. now contains chloramine (chlorine bonded to ammonia), which is much more stable in water. You have to neutralize chloramine with chemicals before the water is safe for fish or other aquatic animals.

I got a heliamphora minor, had it for 2 years it’s doing great! One of my easiest somehow…

Shortening the photo period indoors on your grow light triggers dormancy. What hours would you recommend to trigger dormancy? 10 11? hours of light ?

I heard one guy say it's called a mutualizm not symbiotic because they dont really need each other just both benefit from the relation.

Man id love to hang with you for a week or so lol i can't imagine the wisdom one could get from you thanks for doing what you do man

Wow! I need to learn more about anthuriums ❤

I live in south FL, it doesn’t get that cold down here for very long at all. What’s the minimum and optimal amount of time I should keep it in the fridge?

I just got a mini Venus fly trap terrarium kit and it said i should keep the opening tapped up whenever im not watering it, is that bad? Im growing them from seeds and i wanna make sure they survive. It also said to keep the soil moist so ive been spraying it gently with a mister filled with distilled water. I have them in a bright room for now till i can find a better stop or a lamp.

Do you ship plants to europe?

Thank you so much for such informative videos! I am brand new to carnivorous plants and I always look for you so I can get helpful advice about what to do for my new plant babies. I love your plants, information, demonstrations, your bubbly attitude and your beautiful hair. Thank you again for all your help 🪴

Hi, please make a guide video about vft water germination, please. Or at least give me advice, water, temperatures light etc. 😊

I was wondering about this :). Ive had my pitchers and flytraps for 2 winters, last year i cut the flowers as i wanted them to promote growth. This year i collected some what i thought were seeds but it didn't make sense to why Sarracenia would seed so early in uk as the seeds need near 2 months in cold conditions (snow) before they would sprout. This year I have a few flowering and some flytraps :)
