I have Venus fly traps and let them flower. Even when young. I have noticed when it is blooming, the traps arenât as strong (donât trap food quickly or will refuse to catch food altogether). Which makes sense as most of its energy is going towards producing the flower. Because of this, I donât normally feed it during the blooming time. Blooming has never killed my Venus Flytraps. The blooms are super cute and are designed to be far away from the traps to not catch their pollinators, which so adorable
So useful to hear this first hand experience!! So since this video itâs been fine, it flowered (and yes growth slowed like you said) but the blooms have died off now and the plant is thriving. So Iâm happy I let it run itâs course. Such an adorable plant indeed! đ„°đ±âš
Thank you
Thank you! âšđ±
It's nice to listen to you and watch you, I wish you further development of this channel you're the best CZcamsr
Nice dedication
for mold problems try isopods and springtails.
generally something like this doesn't work optimally because carnivorous plants come from a variety of climates. it's not really reasonable to plant a venus flytrap together with a tropical sundew for example. venus flytraps come from the northern latitudes and actually want to go into a cold and rather dark room for the winter. they will pretty much die off during the dormant period and regrow in spring when brought back into a warmer place.
so the best advice i can give is to only mix the species that want a relatively similar environment and temperature. tropical varieties are ofc perfect to keep indoors all year as long as it's warm, humid and bright enough. so i would suggest to read on each variety, where they come from and how their annual cycle looks like, if they have a dormancy period and so on.
Love love love this comment! Thank you. Its been a long time since Iâve created this and was coming to a similar conclusion myself. Itâs clear which plants do well put together and which ones donât. The mold problem eventually sorted itself out, and I do have isopods and springtails in there now. I needed stronger light, which has now led to algae problems đ€Ł learning a lot and I would do it very differently today. Itâs a great note to have for any project such as this, researching each beforehand will always be beneficial. Thanks again đ±
This looks fab, Iâve also really struggled keeping carnivorous plants alive. They look lovely for a few months and they all get sad :(
Iâve got springtails and isopods in my terrariums and theyâre from Northampton Reptile Centre. They have a section on their website for bioative custodians which has a good selection.
It might be worth checking if theyâre suitable and would ship to you
Yes it can be so disheartening! Iâm really determined to get this right now though đ
Thatâs great thank you so much, Iâll definitely check them out and hopefully they can ship! I think it would transform it really to have some good bugs in there
I have grown VFTs for years and it doesn't matter if you cut flower or not. But you will want to put Saresenia and VFT to sleep next fall. they are not Tropical. Happy Gardening from Canada
Don't worry about carbon. The TDS readings from carbon in RODI water (my RODI is 2 on TDS meter) were amazingly high, over 220, thats more than general tap water by a long way
Definitely needs way more light
Thank you! Will try this out âșïž
This is the problem for most. Those clip on, multiple head options really donât push all that much. High light and constant distilled/RO/rainwater .
how about Hydroton LECA balls? is it ok with carnivorous plants? instead of charcoal?
I haven't had a Venus flytrap flower but my Sarracenias (botanical species as well as hybrids) produced flower stalks during the first few months after I got them and some people also told me to cut the stalks (they were rather young plants then). Didn't do it (I really wanted to see the flowers!) and the plants were just fine, maybe their growth slowed down a little during and directly after the flowering but no decline whatsoever. They flower regularly throughout the summer for me nowadays. I keep them outside though, not sure if that makes a huge difference; there's probably a lot more light.
Thank you so much for this Linda! Totally the same as you my curiosity has stopped me from cutting the flower stalks so far anyway. The buds are just about to open for me now and the plant seems fine but time will tell. Someone else has said to increase the light levels also so Iâm gonna move it to a brighter spot đđŒ Thanks for all the info
Hi, Ahoj I'm new to helping carnivorous plants.
1.) Is sundew from a filter jug healthy? Can anyone confirm this?
2) I was told that boiled and then cooled water is good for sundews.? Can anyone confirm this?
3) I would like to, I thought. catching rainwater. ? Can anyone confirm this?
4) I would like to, I thought. catching water from snow? Can anyone confirm this?
sorry if my english is not good đ
They look really good. Great job!!
Thank you so much Katie!
I'm new to the carnivorous plant scene and have watered all of mine
I have a question Mini greenhouse 58 cm x 40 cm Drosera seeds 100 seeds (Mix)
1.) Should we feed them manually at some point? as the domes are closed in their seedling stage to maintain humidity, leaving no access for any insects to get in.
2._Should we open the dome every couple of days for them to get new air?
3.) I have been told that boiled and then cooled water is fine for Sundews. Can anyone confirm this?
4. ) Can I water the sundew filter
