I got some capensis in an order of mexican Pinguicula. Including a variety I did not have, the all white form. I transplanted them and am propagating more of them! all started from free hitchhikers.
How exciting! I received some beautiful bonus moss on my pitcher plant. I will have to order more plants from you to increase my chances of getting some of these other hitchhikers!
I thought bladderworts were an aquatic plant only found in ponds and streams and lakes or whatever in water I didn’t know they could grow in potted soil!
@@California_Carnivores : Yes they are truly that aren’t they amazing not only the bladderworts but all of them all the 600+ species of carnivorous plants on the planet I’d love to see you do a segment on the Legendary “MAN EATING TREE OF MADAGASCAR”! Now that would be something!
Now I know what you're talking about regarding "bonus plants" in my pots. I see bonus plants and I thought they were weeds and I pulled some out. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do your mini bog at home. I did one using the instructions on the Brooklyn Botanic Garden site by Will Lenham. I had to modify putting it together because I couldn't find all the materials I needed locally. After doing that one, I ordered the small kit for a mini bog from you folks. I'm really not quite sure if I did everything correctly. However, it seems to be doing okay. I have both of the bogs outdoors.
I used the design from BBG as well. It's not as large (14" x 6") round container, with a center reservoir. I've tested it over the past couple of weeks to see how long it takes to dry out (but not completely) and re-hydrate. I like that I can remove the water reservoir to inspect the peat/Perlite media for problems. Regarding aeration of the peat mixture, I wonder if inserting small perforated plastic tubes from the surface down into the peat to create an air channel would be of benefit.
I loved this video! The amount and vigor of volunteer plants on my ordered plants' pots is mind-blowing! My D. Akai Ryu has some excellent Drosera growth alongside it, which I thought was a few Capenses, but are starting to look like D. Scorpioides! Is that possible?
Can you do a video about good temperate carnivorous plants for low light situations outdoors? My yard is full of trees, so I’m having trouble with some species.
So since those were growing in a VFT pot, and VTFs have to go through dormancy, I'm assuming those 2 utricularia species can survive being outside all year round (where the nursery is)? Looking for a terrestrial utric to add to my bog garden in Washington state that will overwinter well with my other temperate plants.
Yes! Livida and bisquamata are hardy outside in our area, zone 9b. If your area in Washington gets into extended freezes or snow, they may die. I would mulch them in.
I think the volunteers are great. My favorite is utricularia sandersonii because I love bunnies and my next favorite volunteer is utricularia subulata because they remind me of a beautiful canary in flight. 🌱
I know this is a long shot on a 3 year old video, but I got a lilium catesbaei and it has the typical tag alongs of all 3 of the usual suspects, but it has a 4th in the form of a fern I do believe. It would be super awesome and greatly appreciated if you could tell me what it most likely is since I like to research and keep records of my plants. Each frond has short petioles, and long lamina (15%/85% respectively of each frond). Upwards of 12+ pinna on the most mature frond, and so far no more than 10 pinnules per pinna. Lamina overall shape is Christmas tree shaped, and each pinna is overall Christmas tree shaped. Pinnules are almost the same color as the lilium catesbaei that it's growing with (under bright led grow lights), with super dark greenish veins. Individual pinnules are relatively oval shaped with an average of ~5 shallow and relatively rounded serations on the ends.
I know you guys have videos on putting together bog kits that you sell, but could you do a video on how to choose plants that will work well together and what type of planting mediums work? I already have a decent little collection and would like to put them into one ecosystem if possible! Though I do think I'd like to buy a bladderwort to add in...
Could you do a video solely on Sarracenia Oreophilas? They are beautiful, but very rare Sarracenias, yet there seems to be relatively very little attention for them out of temperate carnivorous plants on YT.
theres a bunch of dried up stems surrounding the vft I ordered. I was wondering if these are dried up moss spores or dried up utricularia stems? In either case, are they completely dead, or is it possible for them to come back with regular VFT care?
I got a sundew growing with a nepenthes hybrid. It’s been some months and I’ve it’s definitely a forked sundew, I’m pretty sure it’s dormant right now. Do you have any idea what species/subspecies I might have ended up with, or how I would be able to tell?
I have a few bonus forked leaf sundews in with my Nepenthes too! The ones I have are most likely something like multifida extremes judging by their leaf shape. It can depend a lot on how they look. Plants like binata and dichotoma ‘Triffida’ also make the rounds as volunteers super frequently!
The moss that grows most commonly in our pots is a star moss. Club moss also does well but it can get taller than small plants so I’d recommend it for taller Sarracenia pots.
I had a Capensis and and one or 2 Spatulata just pop up after like 5 months from the bog garden I got from you guys. I love them
Nice video! Love getting hitchhikers in my shipments!
U think that until u get aphids or some other parasites in yer shipment
@@DUNDOM5 Well hitchhiker plants, not bugs.

Thank you for taking all that time to answer those emails!!!! 😎

Utricularia is also my obsession (shhhhh, don't tell my other plants)...
So excited to see if i get bonus plants!!!
I thought bladderworts were an aquatic plant only found in ponds and streams and lakes or whatever in water I didn’t know they could grow in potted soil!
They’re amazing! There are aquatic, terrestrial and epiphytic varieties!

L Letuno I bet you did really well! The bog plants are very forgiving! 🌱

Bonus plants!
How fun- I got a reddish spoon leaved drosera I love, thank you for leaving them in! 🪴🤗
“Fairy garden” LOL 😂
Could you do a video on how to get moss spores to grow from a spore?
I loved this video! The amount and vigor of volunteer plants on my ordered plants' pots is mind-blowing! My D. Akai Ryu has some excellent Drosera growth alongside it, which I thought was a few Capenses, but are starting to look like D. Scorpioides! Is that possible?
I have all three lol 😝

i grow butterworts outside under a tree no probme

The oreo sarracenia?
They have
I got a little plant in the pot with my nepenthes that looks kinda like a red flower. Do you know what it is?
I’m not sure unfortunately
theres a bunch of dried up stems surrounding the vft I ordered. I was wondering if these are dried up moss spores or dried up utricularia stems? In either case, are they completely dead, or is it possible for them to come back with regular VFT care?
They could be either! And yes, both will come back! Just give them time and sun and water

what is the species name for the bladderworsts you showed
Utricularia.
Hi, what kind of moss do i need to get that sprouts ? I use sphagnum but never had those ?
The moss that grows most commonly in our pots is a star moss. Club moss also does well but it can get taller than small plants so I’d recommend it for taller Sarracenia pots.
@@California_Carnivores ah so that's what's in with my drosera
What species of moss is growing on the pots?
It’s a little star moss that naturally grows in our nursery on the pots
