Thank you so much for this video! It’s a great help, love how straight to the point you were!
Beautiful and amazing plants collection lovely
Thank you for the video I always wanted to try and grow some pitcher plants and now I know how to 😃.
Whenever you can get a chance to upload the video of the elephant bush I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks again for everything you do 💚🌱
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying your videos, especially the succulents and lithops. I've ordered some seeds and I'm looking forward to seeing how they get on. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful! I’ll be getting one now 😜
All the onfo I need, thanks mate :)
Thanks for watching.
Çok güzel görünüyorlar.Emeğinize sağlık😍👏👏🔔🎁
Sou apaixonada apaixonada por todo tipo de plantas suculentas folhagens em fim amo todas 😍😍😍😘🌹🌺⚘
Here I am after doing some research on this plant. It was used to treat Smallpox back in the days. Makes me wonder if it will do the same for Monkeypox. I'm prepared to get my hands on some and try. Another pandemic coming.
Jesus is soon approaching. How fitting that it's shaped like a Trumpet, in reference to the Trumpets blown in the book of Revelation. Thanks for the upload💛💙🙏
Interesting, will do some more research on it.
Would that be the same for the Venus trap as well ?
Yes, very similar, a friend has both growing in the same container....Works for him... Depends on the climate a little.
You can feed serracenia with half strength cactus fertilizer and an eyedropper for young plants or a mister for mature plants. DO NOT fertilize the soil (that will burn the roots). For small/young plants fill the pitchers about half way and for mature plants just mist the pitchers. This will really accelerate the growth of young plants. You could also use 1/4 strength tomato fertilizer instead.
Interesting, we may need to try that....We do use a liquid mist fertilizer on Tillandsia, do you have any experience with that?
@@johnnyAGardening Nope mostly I grow cacti and some serracenia.
tap water is ok or must be distilled?
Depends on the tap water, We prefer rain water you need to have a tank to collect this though..
If not, put your tap water into a watering can, let it sit for 3 - 4 days and then top up the water. This allows some of the fChlorine and Fluoride and other chemical to dissipate.
You can also boil tap water for 5 - 10 minutes and let it cool. Any of these solutions will work.
What about coco coir. It has no nutes and tskes a long time to break down.
Problem can be salt in the coir, not all but some.
How can I fertilize my sarracenia in a flat where there are no insects?
The options are not great if you cant get them outdoors at all. You could try, a spray 1/3 strength liquid fertilser or 1 or 2 freshly killed insects (small that easily fall down the tube) every month, no insecticides... Hope this helps
@@johnnyAGardening I've done foliar feeding using 1/4 strength cactus fertilizer and it worked well. What I do is feed the pitchers with the dilute fertilizer using an eyedropper every 2 weeks. Young plants also seemed to mature very quickly using this method (in that case I would feed once a week)
@@atomicskull6405 Interesting, and keeping the fertiiser out of the soil is a good trick. May try this as an experiment. Thanks for watching.
Do you need to feed them or do they attract insect by themselves?
If they are outdoors you should not need to feed them....We never feed ours.
@@johnnyAGardening they are inside but I do have fruit flies ...
@@Scarlett_84 Do they look like they are catching a few insects (eg. the fruit flies). If so no need to feed then. You can usually tell as the stems look a little darker at the bottom.
You could catch a fruit fly now and then and give them a feed, however if the fruit flies are around, they may already be doing this. You can also use just a little liquid fertiliser every month to give them a boot (1/2) strength.
@@johnnyAGardening the stems ate dark red, so I assume it's okay 😊
Just to pe sure. I'll feed them as well this weekend
Many thanks
Food is essential to these guys. After not feeding them for 2 months they started to really shed their pitchers, only have 2 fully live ones. Once I started feeding again more and more pitches popped up again. Feeding is more essential to these guys than things like VFTS
Is it safe to drop some nitrogen fertilizer in the pitchers?
@@funkblack yeah just don’t put it in the soil and your good
