Maybe you could upload a feeding session in the future.♥️
Will do! thanks for watching!
@@TechplantChannel please do! Love the channel, just subscribed yesterday and am slowly going through your collection. You’re great at this! I’ve learned so much and actually helped my cuttings root from some of your cutting experiment videos!
yes please feeding
The flower stem tends to grow in height to prevent pollinators from being caught by the traps, it doesn't mean they need more sun ; )
I learned that recently and it makes perfect sense
A lot of people don't know this but when you do the divisions there actually can be genetic recombination they can happen from propagating plants it's just very rare tho
I think that happend with my one plant!
A friend of mine started out with a venus flytrap,then purchased a pitcherplant , started propagating, and now he sells them locally here in Sylva, N.C.. So keep up the good work there lad.
Amazing! Yeah I think I will propagate some more!
The flowers are so high so that the pollinators dont get trapped and are able t make it to the next flower =] great video.
yeah i learned this recently and its such a cool feature!
In love with your collection, this is absolutely amazing!
Thanks for watching, do you have any carnivorous plants?
Techplant I did! My poor mexican butterwort was destroyed by my puppy 🥺 and my nepenthes is currently in the greenhouse.
Great to see your collection. The pitcher plants are so tall and look like the core can't hold them. Amazing! I Love the Sundews and the fly traps!
if you ever want to try your hand at sundews let me know i can give you some
Great video, as a sundew lover I have a lot of them, too (I do timelapse movies, they move really fast and fascinating). You can feed them quite good with fish food but in general if they grow outside it is not needed (they catch a lot of bugs, too).
ive used fish food too it works well! Nice videos i watched a bunch!
Looks great, i have nepenthes, flytraps and saracchenia for almost 2 years now. They are for sure my favorite plants 😊
low maintenance and so cool!
Beautiful idea, indoor cultivation of carnivorous plants! Thanks for your video and information!
Thanks for watching!
I really like your sundew collection. Some of them are so cool!!!
Thanks!
Cool video, it's amazing how many different forms these plants have.
Yeah it really is, lots of people are hybridizing them too to make even more interesting ones!
Nice vid, didn’t know there were so many Sundews! Keep up the good work!
Yeah there are way way way more than what I have, join some of the bigger carnivorous plant facebook groups they post some cool stuff from time to time!
Your video of your first sundew answered my guestion of what my sundew variety was called
Glad I could help!
Since your a jersey guy have you ever gone out to the pine Barrens to see the carnivorous plants out ther
Oh wow. I just got a sundew and wanted to look up care for it and I went to ur video first. Then i wanted to ask u abt lighting. Thats what is the biggest thing I need to invest in and understand. Yes, I am a scientist but I never had to worry abt this kind of stuff, it was already taken care of. Im not arrogant bc of the degree, I am ready to learn from any & everyone, young & old, degrees & no degrees. Seems like u are a jackpot of info & my new favorite channel. The videos look really cool from the titles & thumbnails. I will get to that point someday but educating myself comes first. Its a big difference doing experiments & actually knowing the nuts & bolts abt caring & understanding plants. I am a geneticist I grew plants on petri dishes & then pulled the DNA out and sought to answer questions at the molecular level. I am happy to be going back & learning all u have to share with us. Thnks. Also I may still have questions abt lights. I will see if the info is already here first.
dang im jealous of your job! ive always wanted to mess with plant DNA using like CRISPR or just subjecting them to mutagens! but im too damn dumb in that topic.
if you have facebook message this page
facebook.com/TechplantTv/ and i can show you what i got going because there are a few options
Thx do much.
This really helped me understand this plants.
And I love them, I always wanted to have them but they just died in the care.
I didn't know at the time bc I was really young and CZcams wasn't really a thing
Hey buddy, really cool videos. I’ve got a small selection of carnivorous plants and I find them fascinating. Thanks for the great content ❤️
aren't they so dang cool. I love that we can keep plants that are found all over the world and have the strangest properties its so fascinating
just watched a vid on these plants lol and I found this channel!! They're all so pretty
So cool 🙌😎🍃🍃
I love this!!!
Thanks! Will you try and buy some?
@@TechplantChannel I already have three Mexican pinguiculas but as a kid as used to have a lot more of different kinds of carnivorous plants and trying to do that now
Your collection is so impressive. I've just got into this hobby and have used alot of your content to aid in my journey and its been so helpful. I was wondering do you sell plants or seeds at all?
These are so cool!!!
You should get some if you like them. They just sit in distilled water it doesn't take too much effort!
@@TechplantChannel Definitely. I'll ask around for them. Love the sundews (they're so cool)
Please post another one like this.
ok i will try
Ooohhh... I wanna see what your carnivorous plant propagation bog set up is like!!!
I need to make more videos about them!
cool one
thanks for watching!
Great video. I have a sundew coming in the mail.
Awesome! Good luck. Of it looks dead on arrival dont give up they can sometimes go into dormancy and look dead. They will come back
Great thanks for the info
I have recently become infatuated with carnivorous plants and am able to grow them. I love all of your videos! Do you ever sell any of your carnivorous plants?
Not bad I've bin growing carnivores plants for two years know and it looks like you got most of the basics down, I'm impressed that you manged to cultivate flytraps in doors, only the B52 was my most successful plant to grow indoors all year the rest have to be put out side, you've bin doing this for a year and with only minimum casualty what ever your doing keep doing it.
My flytraps are the hardest to keep happy lol. They will need dormancy soon tho and i dont know of an easy way to do it. I think it gets way too cold out side so i fear they might just die
@@TechplantChannel
To be honest, doing an indoor dormancy with Flytraps is one of the easiest things 😉.
First you can put them outside for acclimatization till the temps at night drops min to around 7 C°. After that you take them indoors and get rid of all the leaves and the substrate, clean the roots excessively precise. Give them a brief spray with an anti mould spray for plants, just a little bit. Wrap the roots with some moist paper towel, just for keeping the roots moist, and give the paper towel itself a quick spray with the anti mold spray too. Now you can stack a lot of Dionaea in a tight Tupperware box and put it into the fridge, but of course, you've to clean the box first very very precisely. In the fridge, at around 4 C°, you can store them easily till the next spring, just double-check from time to time that the paper towels resp the roots stay moist. That's it.
I'm doing this since, hm, think 18 years now..... It works excellent.
Cheers.
P.s. I think there are some videos about this technique on CZcams at the meantime.
Nice
Thanks
This gives me Little Shop of Horror flashbacks, "Whatever they offer you, don't feed the plant"
They havent tried to eat me yet!!
That is a very impressive collection and they look so healthy! If you ever feel the need to downsize I'm sure a few of us out here would be happy to buy some from you.😁 😎👍
Yeah im going to try and get things setup so when spring rolls around i can sell some babies for cheap!
@@TechplantChannel yes! 😊
Loved this video, thank you! I had no idea sundews could be propagated by leaf cuttings. I will give that a try. I had some flowering during the summer but I wasn't sure if I was getting seeds or just debris. I scattered it all over some sphagnum anyway! :) Only occasionally do I get enthused by insectivorous plants, at least as far as keeping them goes. I've just planted up a jar terrarium with Drosera, Nepenthes and Sarracenia. Cultivars of these are something I am completely ignorant of. I like the box set-ups you have and might try that out. Subscribed to see what other clever ideas you have! Keep well! Terry
Hi Terry! Thanks for sharing. I will try and get some vids about growing from seed and propagating from leaves, its actually pretty painless and easy! Thanks for watching!
@@TechplantChannel Thank you. I look forward to that!
Every time I travel half of my plants die and I start to give up on the hobbie because it doesn't suite my situation but your videos gives me hope and inspire me!
With a timer and a water pump you can create a good travel plant sitter!
@@TechplantChannel I travel for the summer, 3 whole months no timer is good enough for that and my family are plant murders. I have to cut the summer travel because I enjoy this hobbie more and you are reminding me of that
Drosera binata is really good for fungus gnats. I haven’t tried to grow a capensis yet but soon enough I’m going to try!
Could you upload a videos of the pot sizes and where you got them?
can you do a video for a list of fertilizers that are good for carnivorous plants?
Sarracenia also grow “in water” 24/7 so exactly the same watering as for sundews using tray method :)
ill give it a shot for some reason i thought they were more prone to like root rot or something
A collection for a year...........! Big wow!
Wow! Nice collection. By the way have you ever tried growing apple seedlings from store-bought apples?
No but i should!
Can you do an update on these plants?
WOW!
Very interesting plants. Don’t have any but now I’m intrigued. Are the tiny green plants in the pots the germinated seeds of the parent? Is so, do you have to thin them out?
I will remove them so they can get bigger in their own pots!
Wow. So amazing. I was telling my husband about sundews and then found your video so I could show him. Would you be able to send me a plant or a few seeds? I have a pond with a bog and also a growlight set up in my basement. I would love to try to propogate some to catch mosquitos and fungus gnats. Karin
Yes I can, email me at techplant.official@gmail.com
All my pitchers Sundews and Venus Flys live out doors all season during dormancy do I keep the pots in water like I do during the rest of the season
Ooh I got the B52 :D I’ve had it for a few months and it propagated(?dunno what the right word is) after hibernation so I have two in one pot now ^^ I’ve been regretting not getting the sundew one as well when I bought that one
nice mine is like always over watered and dramatic!! nice job!
Techplant thanks, mine is just standing in a shallow scale(not sure what the word is again) that is pretty much empty every morning :P
Very nice collection, very nice video 👍 it would be awesome whether you could do some videos about the tuber Drosera like D. menziesii in culture. There is practically no info out there on CZcams.
Cheers
Ill try and get ahold of some tuber ones!
@Techplant...what are those great lights that look like square/rectangle panels hanging behind you?
Kingbo 30 watt panels. I'm using barrina grow lights now too to great success and they look way better
nice video, can you tell (in description at least) with light user for each time of plant it will be nice to get the info
ill try and make a video about it
Hi, could you show is your set up and care for your carnivorous plants? Please...
Sure ill try and make a video soon
Do you which variety of sundew grows in the pine Barrens
I was out collecting sphagnum moss and ended up with over a dozen of them by mistake
The coloring on your Sarrcenia is very pretty. I love carnivorous plants, and want to get one soon. Is there a 'beginner' species that you would recommend?
I would get some kind of tropical sundew. Drosera Capensis is pretty good.
If you get one its a lot easier if it gets good consistent light all year long from some kind of electric light source (unless you live really close to the equator)
then keep its pot in a bowl of DISTILLED water. as for feeding lots of people make a gallon jug of maxsea fertilizer and you just put a drop or two on the leaves, be careful not to put fertilizer in the substrate. too much and your plant is toast. I mean if it catches lots of flys thats good enough too.
@@TechplantChannel Thank you. 😊
I just found your video, and really enjoyed seeing your collection! I am relatively new to my collection. I have kept my two pitcher plants alive for a couple years - my husband says it is because he took over watering. I just ordered 3 sundews from someone online. A Drosera Capensis - red, one albino, and a Drosera Binata. None of them look well! I am not sure what to do.
lots of light and distilled water, make sure the light cycle is consistent and long
@@TechplantChannel We just got back after a week away, and they are perking up! There is new growth!
I recently found wild sundews on my parents property in FL. Hoping to take one back to PA with me. Any tips for transport?
A couple of days ago I got my first serracenia, Venus flytrap and Pinguicula agnata. I have a question about serracenia. It's very similar to the one at 8:40 but it's beige and has less red. I would like to ask you if there should be water in the trumpet or if this would be capable of rotting or destroy it or in general if it would be wrong something like that.
Highly reccomend utrics :), especially terrestial ones. They're tiny, cute, with orchid-like blooms, with easy care too.
I want them, i see tons of pics but their care seems tough and i dont understand them. ill do some reserch tho, because the blooms are spectacular from the pics ive seen!
@@TechplantChannel Here's all ya need to know ( i have a bunch of them):
1) Water. Only use distilled or rain water, but Aquafina or any other water undre 20 ppm should be fine.
2) Soil. Either use only peat/perlite, or just use pure preserved spaghmum.
Don't let the freeze, or get too hot (room temp is fine). That's pretty much it.
I'm pretty sure Carnivorous Plant Resource has some nice info.
@@sedumzz3289 I really like them as I live in the tropics and you can just chuck them into the pond and they will breed like crazy
@@kaikart123 Wow! When the bloom, it must be crazy to look at!!!
@@sedumzz3289 and they also help controlling mosquito population too, so it's a big win. U. vulgaris is one of the best aquatic plant.
I have just started with carnivorous plants and grow them indoors and I have one BIG question, what about dormancy? Nepenthes I know don't need it, but I have Sarracenia ,VFT and Drosera. What do I do with them in winter? As I mentioned I grow them indoors , I have them under good lighting and in high humidity and warm temperature. I read that if some carnivorous plants don't get their dormancy they will weaken and die. How do I prevent this? Do i trim them and put them in my fridge? I don't want to put them outside because winters here in Finland will get too cold. I would really appreciate the help!
Can you please make a video of how you propagate your sundews? 💞
sure! its fun and easy! Ill get some videos started but it will be a while until they are ready because i gotta film the progress!
Techplant that would be amazing, because there are very few videos of that on CZcams (from what I could find). I will be waiting then! Xo
Gnarly collection man! Where would a guy have to look to find some of his own?
There are some good facebook groups out there. I would recommend meeting someone local to get some!
How do you feed them , can you demonstrate please
I have a video about it! its actually really easy!
You have the coolest plants. I read that these plants tend to die when they flower/seed. Have you come across this issue?
they can you just have to feed aggressively so they can get plenty of energy to bounce back. another good reason to always be taking cuttings to propagate!
Can all these be grown in an old fish aquarium in front of a west facing window? Great videos.
they might do ok, but south is probably best. the summer winter cycle of the sun will really mess with them too, if you can supplement that with some light on a consistent timer for best results!
i have the trocero capenis sundew plant
But if they flower won't you get al types of hybrids instead of pure plants?
i dont have many polinators flying around my room, but its possible. hybrids would be neat!
Nice sarracenia, did you by any chance get them from Jerry Addington? That hybrid you first showed kind of looks like a cultivar called Prometheus. One of his own creations.
I got them from a a guy named Jack
With your venus fly traps keep them barley damp in winter because they NEED dormancy or they could die they also like to have cold weather in winter
Love sundews and can you help me with oak tree seedlings and redbud seeds
I never grew trees before so im not sure, sorry :(
Do you have a propagation video for your sundews?
not yet, but I will, ive propagated ton just chucking leaf cuttings in a small thing of distilled water and leaving them under lights for a month
can you show us how you take leaf cuttings and propagate them?
yes! Ill make a video, its so easy too!
Techplant I’m excited, can’t wait!
HI. any possibility to talk you into sending some seeds to Norway?
I dont have an export license, im sorry
for the drosera capillaris, do you have any care tips? i want mine to grow gigantic like yours
feed em weekly! also give them good consistent light thats on a timer! I have a video about sundew care as well! Good luck!
YEAH BOI
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
What do you do for the dormant season?
nothing yet, they just do it on their own
I bought one sundew from Etsy
Awesome! what kind?
❤️
Can you keep a Serracinia year round indoors or does it need a dormant stage ? I just got one it’s amazing!
i do, but they need a dormancy period, i havent done it yet
I have a question. I bought sundew seeds that were packaged on 02/2019 I bought it in February 2020 I've had them planted for about a month now and they show no signs of growth. Were the seeds to old or do they need more time to grow? Love your videos by the way!
What did you put them in? I started some capensis seeds from one of my plants and i just sprinkled them onto some peatmoss and soaked it all with distilled water and put a humidity dome over them and they all sprouted. Im not sure how long other species take. ALSO depending on your species some seeds need to sit in the refrigerator for like 3 months. Its called like stratification. most north american species need to go through it to simulate winter.
@@TechplantChannel I'm pretty sure its sphagnum moss idk it was just a little disk that I put distilled water on and it turned to dirt. Well the kit they came with didn't say they needed to be cold stratified
Yes! a watering video! id like to see how you water all of these
Ill make a video soon!
Is red your favorite color? Haha nice collection
lol, they all kinda turn that color if given enough light
Why does my burmanni dosend grow long leaves they just grow short on top of eachother?
hard for me to visualize that, send me a pic to techplant.official on instagram
If anyone can identify the small insect that crawls over the media that is seen between 3 and 4 o’clock at time 3:04-3:10?
I believe it to be a mite but if anyone knows what kind that’d be cool. I’ve had my own curiosity in my plant’s soil (potted Swiss chard, indoors). My plants grow very well but I see lil guys on the surface of their soil 🧐
I dont know the exact species but usually if you got them just walking around o the soil you shouldn't have to worry. Spider mites are almost always on the leaves with webs everywhere eating g your leaves! All my pots are full of little critters that dont seem to harm my plants
....... And when you realised they are kept in a pollinator-free environment 😄
Do they need grow lights
if you want to prevent them from going through dormancy periods then yes, because the natural sun cycle will send them into it. Plus with grow lights you can make sure they get enough light to produce the nice red colorations
Would 100% buy carnivorous plants from you
one day ill have an etsy shop, im just so slow to get there!
Hi. I am searching for these beautiful plants in India but haven't found any. May be my search is not that good. Could you please send me these? Or is there anyway can I get these..? Please share.
A new species of petiolaris sundew was formed when one of the known species was propigated via tissue culture. One of the plants changed into something completely else. You should do some research. May have happened to you.
Interesting I wonder if that same transformation happend to me???
How about start your own carnivorous plant nursery.
How do you prevent mold when feeding? I cants seem to feed mine without mold developing
I feed them with maxsea and a syringe, I will make a video about this!
Techplant ok sounds good, I look forward to the vid!
how old is the capillaris and how old are the seedlings?
I'm not really sure at this point maybe 6 months?!?
do you keep em indoors? i live in a condo so im buying led grow lights right now. is the purple and blue light the only good option?
yup, I keep them indoors! and the purple ones work fine
Techplant I couldn’t find any perlite or peat moss. Only vermiculite and sphagnum moss. Is that ok?
Do you have to feed these? Sorry for asking before watching all the way through.
I feed them fertilizer, i made a video about it if you are curious how
What soil mixture are you using for the carnivorous plants?
pool filter sand, peatmoss, sphagum moss. I dont like peatmoss anymore becuase its so acidic it was burning my sundews
@@TechplantChannel
Thanks!
Can I get Drosera capensis
eventually ill start selling, i need to get my stock up
Can this plants survive their whole life in a little pot or is it necessary to upgrade to a big one?
They stay very small so you can keep em in a small pot
I misread the thumbnail as
MY BUG, EATING PLANTS lol
lol
Do you sell seeds??
Can they live in the winter? How to care for them in the winter?
some can, it depends on the species. All mine live indoors though
@@TechplantChannel whqt kond of species live in the winter
Nice Video! How do you feed carnivourous plants?
Use a syringe to meticulously put droplets of liquid fertilizer on the leaves lol. takes a lot of time but if it gets in the soil they die.
@@TechplantChannel I saw bugs stuck to them I thought maybe you release a swarm of flies inside their box
@@5660mccartm No they just exist in my room and torment me. Luckily the lights over those plants are on the latest so all teh flys always go there to die.
Can venus fly traps be successfully grown in a closed terrarium?
ive grown some under a humidity dome so i dont see why not
Nice collection dude, i hope you do better :)
Thanks! Thanks for watching aswell!
When you talk about feeding the plants, to keed them alive, what type of feeding are you talking about, insekts or nutrition ?
Both, Because i have fungus gnat infestation in my other plants they eat a lot of them. But i also mix Maxsea in distilled water and use a small medical syringe to put droplets on the leaves. If you get it on the soil you could kill the plant. I can make a video about feeding these soon!
@@TechplantChannel That could be nice, i have fungus gnats in my plants to, so now i have ordered some seeds of the Drosera Filiformis hoping to get some nice new plants, to help fighting the gnats.
Thanks for sharing.
you can feed them with fish food,too,they react very fast (I made some timelapse movies about it)
