Hi. I don't live in a very humid area but my Drosera capillaris is doing very well just using the tray method and plenty of light. Will the cape sundew do good in a similar setup? I figure the tray method watering increases humidity slightly around the plant.
That is great! In my experience, I have also found good success with the tray method (especially in dry climates). The cape sundew should grow well there too. I will make an update of the progress later on.
@@venusflytrapworld thank you, they are so cute and you can put indoors, its what i wanted..cause the venus flytrap have to be outdoors, so i wanted one for the indoors, thanks
I have a question. I transplanted my Drosera capillares into long fibered sphangum moss with perlite. Is this mix ok or is the peat moss and perlite better? I transplanted it because the yard people knocked it over.
7:47 hi had one question is it really necessary to remove the extra moss it arrive with n I don't want damage it?? I order 3 just want make sure? Great video tho👌
Hi! Never use standard potting soil for carnivorous plants. Use pure moss such peat or sphagnum. You can also mix the moss with perlite or sand, for best results. Here is some more info venusflytrapworld.com/the-best-soil-options-for-venus-flytrap-plus-potting-tips/
@@venusflytrapworld You should always mix with sand or perlite, sand is better #12-#14 grit is best. And it should be silica or quartz. Perlite floats to the top over time so it becomes a problem.
The sphagnum moss helps because it’s more “airy” in the media and can be better for the roots. and it can also help avoid bacteria, etc. Many people prefer sphagnum moss as well because it can be way cleaner and definitely looks way better as well. But both work good and also just a preference. If there is a specific plant that needs only spagmoss (nepenthes for example, won’t thrive that well in peat/moss) or plants that only need peat/perlite mix then it’ll most likely tell you were you got them from!
They sent me a free nepenthes “glorious mirror” for doing it! 10/10 do recommend them
Great deal!
Aaaa I just received some capensis red and alba, venusta red and alba from this company I love them.
Awesome 🎉🌱
Isn't the Venusta a Gem? i love mine. went from hosting 12 different cultivars of flytraps....only to find I like Drosera even more.
Sundew are lot easier to take care of. I have 3 so far and they care of the gnats problem.
That's great to hear! Impressive plants that can control gnat problems
so can pinguiculas
Another excellent explaining video!!
Thanks fo watching!
Oh nice! I just got a few plants from them too. I'll probably get some of these.
Awesome! They have a good variety of cps
Great vid!! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
I love your videos
Thank you! Glad to have you here
I want sundews, so i could put indoors,didn.t know these kind of carnivorous plants,thanks!!!
a carnivorous leafeon evolution would be great!

Hi , do you know if they ship to Portugal? Thanks
Uu, not sure. Hopefully you can get them

Love your Pokémon posters 🙂
Thank you!
I have a question. I transplanted my Drosera capillares into long fibered sphangum moss with perlite. Is this mix ok or is the peat moss and perlite better? I transplanted it because the yard people knocked it over.
I have used both options for my sundews. So far, I haven't observed much of a difference. Peat and perlite is good media, especially with perlite.
@@venusflytrapworld I can leave my D. Capillares in with the long fiber sphagnum moss?
@@plantguy9 Yes, no issues.
Can you rough blend the moss to avoid fighting the tangles?
Shouldn’t be an issue
Where did you buy
I bought a sundew on Etsy & it arrived with the leaves covered in dirt. Is there any way to clean it? What should I do?
Mine just arrived and some of the drosera were black should I say something to the seller? Or this normal for them to turn black?
Also where can I buy a good Lightning for them?
do sundews require dormancy?
7:47 hi had one question is it really necessary to remove the extra moss it arrive with n I don't want damage it?? I order 3 just want make sure? Great video tho👌
Thanks for the question. There is no need to remove it. You can just leave it there to be extra careful 👍
Sounds good I seen a few unboxing from predatory plants but none say if it fine to leave it but thank you!!!!
How do u make RO water
Some people get a system or an RO machine at home. You can also buy it in water stores. However, I find distilled water to be more available.
@@venusflytrapworld you know what. You’re right. That makes more sense. Thank you!
Is there any difference using moss vs soil?

@@dirtycoochiescarnivorousplants really? I like the look of peat moss more tbh
@@Tatusiek_1 That's a good point. Thanks for the advice! I will try that next time. I would like to make a comparison between those options.
My Venusta is a straight up murderer..........
Lol awesome!
