- Grow A Venus Fly Trap Plant With Me? It’s one of the few plants in the world that is truly carnivorous🌱
🐛
The Venus Fly Trap is a plant well-known for its ability to trap and digest insects with its modified leaves.
Once grown, it’s important to know that each trap can only be used a few times before it loses its ability to snap shut. So it’s important not to trigger the traps unnecessarily, as it can weaken the plant.
Also known as Dionaea muscipula, is a native species to North and South Carolina, where it thrives in swampy areas.
Venus Fly Trap seeds are tiny - no bigger than the size of a sesame seed - and we’re sprouting them in two ways. Paper towel germination method and in soil.
To germinate Venus Fly Trap seeds, sprinkle the seeds on top of the paper towel, shpritz them religiously with water - keep that towel damp - and seal it in a glass jar. Or you can plant directly in soil and water it three times a week - but you need a lot of sun for the soil method.
After 2-3 weeks, you should start to see tiny Venus Fly Trap seedlings emerge from the paper towel and the soil.
Transplant as necessary.
One other interesting fact is that the Venus Fly Trap can produce flowers that are small and white and usually appear in the spring. If your Venus Fly Trap does produce flowers, it's important to remove them, as they can divert energy away from the rest of the plant.
So come back in a week or two to see the progress of our baby carnivorous venus fly traps!

I have a lot of information on these, since I've tried those myself.
1. Do NOT plant venus flytraps, or ANY carnivorous plants in soil, unless the soil is VERY much so deprived in nutrients(it also needs to be acidic, butterworts like it alkaline though), in which you may not know the nutrients in the soil. Use sphagnum moss(better yet, mixed with perlite), or a mixture of peat, perlite, and silicate sand. Sphagnum moss with perlite is the best 'soil' for sowing carnivorous plant seeds. Peat is very fluffy(until it gets wet), mushy, yet dense, that's why you need silicate as a filler and makes the peat moss fluffy because wet peat moss is too dense for soft carnivorous plant roots, you also need perlite because wet peatmoss is NOT porous, and the silicate sand weighs the roots down, meanwhile perlite will make the soil more lightweight and aerates the roots between wet peat.
2. Buying 'venus flytrap' seeds, or any carnivorous plant seeds on the internet is frowned upon, as it most likely is a scam, unless you know the seller yourself or you have good reviews that show how the seeds have grown. There are alot of scams because you have a similar looking seed to the flytrap; dragonfruit.
3. It is not recommend to sow carnivorous plant seeds on tissue/damp paper towel as it can lead to mold, and these guys are more prone to mold than most other seeds.
4. Venus flytrap seeds need stratification(a process in which the seed is placed in a cold environment for 1-2 months, to simulate real life winter, this process is usually artificially remade with putting the seeds in damp paper towel, and ziplocking it, putting the bag in the refrigerator, NOT the freezer) as stratification sharply raises the chances of your seed growing.
(EDIT)
5. (I completely forgot about watering lol) For watering, make sure you're using low TDS(Total Dissolved Solids) water. The TDS must be below 50. Guaranteed water with the TDS meter lower than 50 is; Reverse Osmosis water, Distilled water, Rain water, Bog/Pond/Lake water(please check first, if the bog/pond/lake water has higher than 50 TDS, then don't use it).
Thank yiu❤
I hope she sees this because it will help her a LOT and it isn't too late to put the paper towel ones in the refrigerator!
Thanks for saving me the need to write this all out. I was gonna say the same.
@@TheKatarinaGiselleif she dries the towel a bit, then she should be alright. As long as this video wasn't from a week ago.and just now posted.
Jesus
Did anyone see that the text to speech said “penis fly trap” instead of Venus…?
Mine said famous fly trap
@@thijsbergman2424 that’s strange. Maybe my phone is dirty minded somehow😅
YES OMG it's on the bottom of the screen and I think it only happened once in the video
@ʟᴇɴᴀᴘᴜᴘxᴀғᴇ well, yours just shows something different I guess. Doesn’t mean other people don’t see it.
@@--asher-- yea, think she said it twice only and it happened the second time 😭
Do you think they’re gonna GROW 👹
You can actually let them flower but should wait until the plant is mature so it doesn't die. I have one. It's so small, I fed it for the first time today, and the whole 3mm sized bug didn't fit 😆
Nice. What variation do you have?
Cut it into pieces
My mom got us venus fly traps when we were kids. I was worried mine was starving, so I fed it ground beef. It died.
Wow
Lmao
@@cinnamon5688 I was like 10, don't judge
@@cwisteenuh lol srry dude 😂
The first time I ever had a Venus flytrap, it dud the same thing.
Don’t plant them in soil unless the soil is completely nutrient free. The seeds will grow healthier, faster, and less stressfully in something like sphagnum moss.
Jesse you need to do a Timelapse on these things , literally nobody has one and I would love to see it , please and thank you ❤ love the content so far
Could you do a pitcher plant too? It’s another carnivorous plant but instead of chomping down on it’s prey it tricks the unlucky bug into slipping down inside it’s pitcher/jug like form and into it’s digestion acids!! Definitely my favourite plants(next to snapdragons) ❤
Yes.
My fly trap flowered a couple of weeks ago and its healthy still healthy but didn't seed.
Did you pollinate?
Her : Venus Flytraps are the only truly carnivorous plant
Sundews and Pitcher Plants: Am I a joke to you
I live in the only place they grow indigenously! (within 50 miles of Wilmington, North Carolina, USA)
Send me some please!!!!
I want one of my own so baddd
I'd suggest sarracenias if you want something more pretty since they come in so many different sizes and such, but they do an amazing job as pest control still
Always water them with Rain water!!!
There are numerous carnivorous plants on this planet mostly in the pitcher plant family that grow in habitats ( mostly peat bogs) that do not allow them to take up nitrogen in their roots. They evolved to absorb nitrogen through the enzyme digestion of insects.
That is correct. There are 13 genuses of the most popular carnivorous plants. Which are;
-Drosophyllum(Drosophyllaceae)
-Drosera(Sundews)
-Utricularia(Bladderworts)(Lentibulariaceae)
-Genlisea(Corkscrew Plants)(Lentibulariaceae)
-Pinguicula(Butterworts)(Lentibulariaceae)
-Nepenthes(Tropical Pitcher Plants)(Sarraceniaceae)
-Darlingtonia(Cobra Pitcher Plants)(Sarraceniaceae)
-Sarracenia(North American Pitcher Plant)(Sarraceniaceae)
-Heliamphora(Sun Pitcher Plant)(Sarraceniacea)
-Cephalotus(Albany Pitcher Plant)(Cephalotaceae)
-Byblis(Rainbow Plants)(Byblidaceae)
-Aldrovanda(Waterwheel Plant)(Droseraceae)
-Dionaea(Venus Flytrap)(Droseraceae)
My plant flowered and did great. The plants die off for the winter anyway.
They DON'T die off during winter, they go dormant, otherwise known as plant hibernation. They will shrivel up and die or shrink to very small sizes. They will regrow once they see sun and feel warmth.
Noooo, your plant was likely still alive, they go dormant during winter, they loose almost all their leaves, you just need to give it way less water to prevent rotting but they'll come back in spring.
they dont die in winter unless ur actully a very bad venus flytrap owner since they nevr die during winter they only go dormant
It's the "GROW" every fuckin time 🤣
LOVE THE GROW 😂😂😂
For me, germinating never worked with oranges,but planting them,it worked
Mine are actually vegetarians. I’ve fed them twice and both times they spit it out lol. I’m gonna follow this journey though because two of mine are flowering and I want to harvest the seeds!
Are you sure they are? The enzymes in which these plants use are not strong enough to break plant fiber.
The reason they "spit it out" is because they need live prey. (The traps have hairs on the inside, and those hairs need to be stimulated after the trap shuts so the plant knows it caught something) If the qualifications aren't met, the trap simply reopens. I still wouldn't feed it plants though since they catch prey for fertilizer. (Not to survive, they survive from photosynthesis) Plants don't have the same nutrients that a bug would. Feeding it a plant could also cause the plant to kill that specific trap.
@@kolerebooted5658 oh I’m not feeding it plant based food, it just won’t eat bugs. It’s outside now for the summer and it still spit bugs out. It did have thrips (😩) so that might have something to do with it. The plant is with my parents while I’m away for 3 months so I’m not exactly sure how it’s doing but from the pictures I’ve been getting it looks like it’s still spitting live bugs out.
My vft flowered and it's done perfectly fine but it just took a long tine didn't quite have the full amount of sun, but don't think im getting seeds becouse it started to dry up a bit to much. Still doing great and catches plenty on its own but it doesn't need to be fed becouse of sunlight
The definitive work is by Darwin himself! An excellent read...
yes i’m so excited to grow my penis flytraps also!❤️
Glad im not the only one who saw it
If the flytrap is mature and fed well it can flower and make a seed pod without dying.
Hate to break it to you but those aren't vft seeds, and even if they are, you shouldn't plant them in soil but in pure peat with no added fertilizers. You can also use sphagnum moss.
Sorta unrelated but one time I saw a video of someone giving a jellybean to their venus fly trap
Idk why but those plants scares me😭
My advice for you. Research or they will die. I looked at every care video I could find on UA-cam when I got mine.
What soil did you plant them in? Regular soil can kill then, they need peat or sphagnum moss
Venus flytraps seeds and all other temperate carnivorous plant seeds require cold stratification to be able to germinate. You should also be growing them in a peatmoss and perlite mixture.
Venus Fly Traps do not require cold stratification. They naturally germinate the summer they are released.
It’s moot anyway, the seeds in the video are definitely not from a VFT.
they're not really carnivorous though, they still photosynthesize just fine. they "eat" insects to get nitrates, because the soil they naturally grow in lacks nitrates, which is a very important substrate in building proteins. it's why everyone says to plant the venus fly trap in soil that lacks nutrients; it's just their natural habitat, it's where they evolved to grow.
It’s not rare for a flytrap to flower and it certainly will not kill the plant, as long as it’s healthy. All mine are flowing as it’s spring. Natural part of its life cycle.
You need to winterize them first. Dry that towel a bit more and out that in the fridge for 6 months.
Soil kills them too. Use sphagnum.
I've grown hundreds, if you need a source.
Nutrient rich soil kills them, not soil. I have grown hundreds from seed and I use peat moss and have had great success rates. Sphagnum runs the risk of the seeds falling too far down into the media and not being able to sprout high enough to survive. And the only reason to keep it in the fridge is if you’re storing them. They don’t need any stratification, they can be planted immediately after harvesting.
The flower thing is a myth. If the plant dies, it was doomed anyways. I currently have 4 flower stalks coming up and plan to pollinate so I might see what happens when maroon monster and b52 are crossed.
It mostly will not make anything.. it probably will only make a normal flytrap. B52 and Maroon monster are cultivars, which means they're genetically unstable, which has a really high chance to fail.
I've had them blo o m year after year!!
strange I bought that seed plant, but actually not the same and are very smaller
Those also don’t like like Venus flytrap seeds. They are too big and dull. Flytrap seeds are small, teardrop shaped, and shiny.
Yep, they are definitely not VFT seeds.
There are several plants that are carnivorous
Lol sundews and pitcher plants and the rest have left existence
Oh, now I know what I did wrong the first time with my plants I thought I have to feed every mouth. And I didn't cut the seed stalk.
You don’t have to feed them at all, photosynthesis provides all the energy it needs. The traps provide supplemental nutrients. And if the plant has enough light and water the flower stalk is totally fine to grow. If allowing the flower to grow kills the plant then how the fuck have they survived for so long in the wild?
I almost cried when you killed the flower bud... That's what it lives for. If one (venus trap) is lucky enough it grows flower. It was its success 😢
A Venus fly trap will not always die if it flowers, you can even cut the flower stalk off and propagate it
I just imagine them crawling in those tiny seeds waiting for the seed to sprout and grow
So that's why mine died, the flower...😢🌺
I want a/some carnivorous plants. Mainly want a ping and/or a drosera to catch fungus gnats. Do Venus fly traps need an actual supply of flies/insects larger than tiny gnats to be fed or will they survive just as a normal houseplant with whatever average number of pests may be around we don’t even realize? Not like a dirty hoarder place just an average clean home in a sub tropic zone. I’d get one if I can essentially leave it to feed itself but I don’t want to be having to supply it with bugs. And did I hear, and is it true that carnivorous plants should be in a growing medium with like no nutrients, so like not regular soil? Or am I confusing that with something else?
Depends on what you're saying. You are allowed to not feed your flytrap, because there is still TEENY TINY BITS of nutrients, even in sphagnum or peat moss(the most common medium to grow them), and they photosynthesize those nutrients for well... nutrients. Eating bugs is just a side job/snack for them. You don't have to feed them unless the medium literally doesn't have any nutrients or is inert(silicate sand, perlite).
We tried growing some in one of my classes back in high school...I killed mine...😂
“You should know that P@nis Flytrap plants can-“
Bro..💀
Once or twice In a month.
So did they grow? How many did ya get and out of which test?
VE-nis fly trap plants are one of the... 😂
Queenie did you spray it with rain water or distilled water or just straight up tap water 😔
POV plants vs zombies players: I NEED IT
Is anyone gonna talk about the fact she said "P3n1s flytrap"? 🤨
You forgot pitcher and sundew
I got some seeds labeled as fly trap seeds off of Amazon and they ended up growing into this weird mystery plant that I still can’t figure out what they are 😭
Apparently dragonfruit seeds are sold as flytrap seeds as a scam, could be those
@@16Fishwrap16 They didn’t grow into any type of cactus, they grew tall with very circular leaves, they’ve all produced these pod things of seeds too, very weird plant
I need some of these plants now how many flys ir bugs will ine consume
Where can I order seeds?
Remember. Distilled water.
Buying mine today
from which website you bought them??
Where did you buy?
How do you get those seeds of the venus fly trap?
What will happen if you put your hand?
When she's scattering the seeds in the pot the text and voice says the pee pee word😭
The only plant in the world? What about the sundews? And nepenthes or the serrancia??
Actually there is several plants that will eat bugs. What about the pitcher plant. The bug drops in and get broken down so the plant drink the bug.
damnit, I let my venus fly trap go to flower.
i thought i was a horrible person that they died because my care isnt good.
Glad to know nature is doing their thing
The flower didn’t kill it, you not providing enough light or water killed it. This girl in the video has absolutely no idea what she’s doing, those aren’t even flytrap seeds she’s sowing.
I have my own pet]
Who?
Venus fly trap>]
...
i dont think that a venus fly trap seeds . its much smaller and glossy texture
CAR WHAT ERIOUS 😂😂
Did anyone else read carnivorous as coronavirus 😭 im scarred
VENUS flytraps
And you shouldn't use potting soil for them any minerals or fertilizer will kill it
Pitcher plant :😢
I think somebody sold you a packet of sesame seeds
Nope
Those are not Venus Flytrap seeds. 😢
Also you should not burry Venus flytrap seeds. You scatter them on top of the soil
When should I cut the blooms off mine? Ive got three flower stalks starting, they're like 2 inches tall right now, but there are brownish thinner spots forming on the leaves, and I'm wondering if it's because of the flowering?
Yup, should've cut it when it U
JUST appeared. BUT tall enough so you won't harm your flytraps if you manage to cut it.
@@garcias2039 thanks! I did some googling after this comment too, and yeah, I decided I definitely want to just get rid of them.
What was that subtitle…..
I’m surprised no one else saw it
Can you give me the Venus fly traps seeds please
My name is Venus
Just realize
WHAT FLY TRAP?!
Mam im sorry to anounce you that those are sesame seeds
Where to buy the seeds
Not where she got hers because those aren’t flytrap seeds 😂
😢 what happened when u said grow??
Those aren’t Venus Fly Trap seeds (they’re way too big), you got ripped off😆
There not theres more the pitcher plant your wrong
Tried growing one for 3 months. Didn’t do shit.
I need a update
They are fake seeds the real ones are shiny
I just got one the other week and watched mine eat somE bug!!!
Update?
Sundew: he's not only deadly plant dumass
"VIENUHS" fly trap..
Flowering is not a rare occurrence, any healthy plant should flower.
Do not cut the flower of your venus flytraps. They can bloom just fine. Mine have bloomed twice already and are still going strong on their 3rd year of life
I didn’t hear Venus💀
TODOOTTODOOORORORO
Do you think theyre gonna GROEW👹
