Super cool video
How and what do they eat?
This is a really good and useful video for plant lovers.
A man with a passion is so much more inspiring than all the politicians and lawyers.
Wt the id name of this vft??
i cannot believe you didnt harvest any plant. comeon thats a wasted opportunity!
@@ericnyamu9981 that would be illegal
Awesome video, thank you. Those Drosera, orchids and habitats are fantastic. Have you ever considered doing a video on succulents?
@@nigelking4892 I would if I knew much about them :)
how would you describe the soil composition? 3 parts sand to 1 part peat?
@@ConstantinBoca it's almost entirely sand and maybe a tiny organic part. No peat really outside of mountain bogs
wonderful sundews, great to see them in their natural habitat. Nice video :)
I was asking my wife to be gentler with the plants while she was helping me with the black traps.. I'm getting conflicting information on how to deal with black traps and whether or not to clip them off? what do you do with the black traps that look to be dying?
If a trap/leaf is completely dead, you can cut it off, but you dont necessarily have to. If you're keeping them outside the whole year around and experience cold winters, and they get enough fresh air outside, then mold shouldn't be a problem. But if you're keeping them inside over the winter (still requires cool temperatures), then it's better to cut them off, since the chance of mold is much higher. It's especially problematic if they are kept indoors at cool temperatures, not enough air circulation and if the soil is too wet.
When i split and repot mine, they get shocked and their growth slows or stops for the year, and there's a chap who just drops them on the table, crazy!
Try putting a few drops of "RESCUE REMEDY " in the initial first 2 sprays after repotting - it helps the plants recover faster & better . It's also good for people from Conception to Grave , as well as skittish pets - it helps calm them down . Good luck with your future repots , using RESCUE REMEDY ( it's got a 5 year + , shelf life .
Here I am,,, a new subscriber,,, these are beautiful vfts😊
What kind of sand??
@@oneeyedjack8806 Silica sand/quartz sand, aka pool filter sand.
@@housecreeper I don't use any stones under the soil. Just carnivorous plant mix all the way through so it can effectively wick water :)
If you must use sand , use river sand , it's coarser & allows water to flow thru easier .
great to see these sundews in nature. I have a cistiflora but it never flowered in my setup,so nice to see how it looks like.
Beautiful area you are in, can't wait to see more
wow awesome they all seem to be winter grower very similar conditions to what most of the sundews grow like here in Australia
good stuff, keep it up! I've never heard about the sand having effect on the color before, thanks!
Glad to find another channel showcasing carnivorous plants in the wild
Thank you for posting!
good stuff
Very cool! What would be a good budget to build something like this?
So sad it closed was the best bit of the zoo for me way better than sea life centre
Nice video. Keep it up
Thanks Mike!
Nice looking shadehouse, great work. The Cephalotus are looking very good. What % shadecloth are you using??
40% in front, 70% in back. And thanks!
Absolutely stunning! The d. cistiflora flowers are one of the most beautiful ones among the drosera genus
Awesome stuff! Not sure if I'll ever make it out to these places though I'll try...in the meantime keep the videos coming!
Interesting seeing how you set it up! Nice to see the process
You can build your own little world in there!
Imagine if he did vlogs in there while watering plants.
Nice build mate
Beautifull plants. Nice sized green house.
Magnificent! Congratulations on discovering another population group of Drosera regia. I love the Red coloration. I hope to see these in cultivation in a few years.
0:13 february is not mid summer its still winter
It is in the Summer hemisphere
Amazing variety of sundew, there are only two varieties in my county in far Northern California (Siskiyou ), Drosera anglica and Drosera rotundifolia ,and ond pitcher plant, Darlingtonia Californica. Thanx for the video!
Your comment about the pity that drosera are not more cultivated hit home. In my youth, I discovered droserae growing in bogland in the southern Adirondacks (USA), and successfully established some, together with pitcher plants and mosses in a bog terrarium, which I proudly displayed in my biology classes. So, I was delighted to view so many varieties in your interesting and informative video. Thanks.
That was awesome, thanks.
How do the droseras survive the dry season? I understand it's Mediterranean weather
The perennial species generally live by permanent water (Like D capensis) while many of the others are summer dormant with thick roots
Truly beautiful
Roridula gorgonias is interesting!
Amazing place, there is almost no footage of Roridula, is nice to see were they grow in nature, i have 2 Roridula Gorgonias they are already more than 2 feet tall and branching.
It is nice being able to see carnivorous plants in their native habitats. That is quite impressive as I have heard Roridula are really sensitive as seedlings
Thanks!
Prachtig!
good afternoon from Queensland Australia
i assume this isn't a good fire then
Been 10 years apparently, so is good!
Great footage and your videos are informative, as ref the fire.. is it damaging to the environment or does it help the vynbos? I remember you said on earlier video that fire was part of the ecosystem with the Cape vynbos..🤔
Fire every 10-15 years is good, with succession happening each time between resprouters and reseeders. Too often or too long between fires is damaging
@@capecarnivores thanks
Cool! New short video.
Awesome stuff! Big thanks from Idaho USA :)
amazing place m8! collect them ,breed them and send them to europe!!
