Southwest USA (Arizona) native here. We are blessed in terms of our succulent variety, and they are in their own right highly evolved and impressive plants. But the climates of the southeast have bred some really awesome species. I am 26, and hope to some day soon make it out there to VFT’s in the wild. Hope they will still be around for my kids + grandkids to see. The nature of plant/lowe’s style and pet stores makes it easy to forget these plants + animals are intricate parts of systems which have evolved over millions/billions of years, and we cannot afford to become too separated from these systems. Bless you all and happy planting.
Thank you so much for this tour! It's wonderful to be able to see the natural home of such an interesting plant. Crazy to think that such a tiny corner of the world is all that's left of such an iconic plant. Loved it.
Great video! I was fascinated by Venus Fly Traps as a child and unfortunately I never got one. My wife, who is a teacher just bought one for her classroom. While doing the research on how to care for the plant, I come to find out that they are native to the Carolinas! Here this whole time I thought they were exotic and from a rainforest somewhere.
Hi, perhaps you can show a lite more of the soil composición, texture, water, Mulch cover, content, i grow dm IN mexico city and a really wish to know of the original soil for dm!
"Shameless unrealistic sensationalism" LOL that bit made me laugh pretty hard! Should've brought a giant fake flytrap prop out there to really sell the effect... That would've been hilarious! Very nice flytrap habitat. I've never been to this location, but I have seen a whole field of pitcher plants at the Green Swamp nature preserve. That was pretty cool. Supposedly that site also has venus flytraps, but I never did find any on my visit. Maybe they are just further off the trail, or maybe I didn't look hard enough. You aren't kidding about them being hard to find. They really are particular about their habitat.
@Gupta College of Science What's yr fees for an international student for a BA? Do you offer Veterinary medicine witth pathway to be a Veterinary surgeon as well? With earnest interest from Singapore
Fayetteville NC is the only place where all three species of carnivorous plants can be found, according to my HS Biology teacher. Right behind the High School, you could find all three of them in the woods, and near wet area for the sundew plants. I think it's all been bulldozed for houses now, sadly.
@@xxpowwowbluexx Thank you for your response. We bought a bunch that were on clearance and mostly dead from two different big box stores. I read everything I could about how to grow them and all their needs, we managed to keep 4 alive but it was definitely a struggle. We live in the 6b climate so once it was warm enough we moved them outside and now they're thriving! Certainly an interesting plant to add to our collection.
I got a Venus flytrap because there are flies in my home and I was tired hunting them with my electric tennis racket. Since I got that plant there are no flies to be seen. It looks like they found my plant and fly off or something.
Looks like an older leaf. Like he said traps have a finite number of times they can close and digest. The trap he showed us looks like an older leaf since its a pale green-yellow.
Somehow I still don't really understand what makes this habitat as unique so the venus flytrap just exist in this small area. On the other hand it seems to be no problem to cultivate and even breed it in pots of peat, watered with rain water. By the way, I'm from germany but don't got the money to come to Carolina and dig one out for myself. So, could you possibly dig one out for me and ship it to me ? 🤭
Why are you taking the closed traps off wild plants? You know that's how they get their nutrients and that they're rare enough in the wild. Shame on you
Most of its nutritional needs are met via photosynthesis. The traps catch supplemental nutrients. They don't really catch that many bugs. They might be lucky if they catch one once every week or even once a month. I've grown pretty stellar Venus flytraps with just water, sphagnum and sun, I never fed it, and the area were I live isn't very buggy, except for gnats, and they are too small to trigger a large trap. Plus the leaf he showed us is a pale green-yellow, it was likely an older leaf.
There are so few properly informative videos on the flytraps on UA-cam.. Thanks for taking the time to make a proper one! Really enjoyed it 😊
Lol. Carefully open the trap. Meanwhile its ripped off the stem

Are there efforts to grow these out from seed and reintroduce them back into the site?

You mentioned that it often grown alongside moss. Can we ID that moss, and do you think it is a typical companion species?
I'm sure he was referring to sphagnum moss. It's a ground cover often found in the same space as Carnivorous Plants.
I have a Venus fly trap. But she is not wild , she is tame 🤓🤣 greatings from the netherlands
The local Venus Fly Traps send their greetings.
I'm their spokesman......
Muy buen video muy informativo bien que lo traducez
I don’t wanna go to college but this guy makes it sound fun to learn about the stuff I like
I lived in Pender County in coastal NC and there were some in my back woods.
I think all plants are fascinating. Especially its life cycle and heartiness.
Hallo,, Please Mr vlog Venus Flytrap in jungle. 😁Thankyou
It’s like a little snapping stomach awwww! I love this groovy music 😂
I just ordered some seeds to sprout my own. Would they survive outside in Kansas?
awesome to see them in their native habitat
I'm using this for my bio homework

Do they grow in the Philippines
What are you doing harvesting the trap door from a rare plant in a state park yourself? What if everyone who went there did the same as you?
You won the prize....
I hope that property has cameras and prosecutes anyone that tries to move the traps
You can buy these online. Maybe let the audience know that they have options to own one by purchasing from a nursery
They are naturally native to the Wilmington,NC, in a 75 mile radius. There are several places to visit fly traps in the wild.

Not even one and I did know that 😂 but great video
You guys be careful not to be bitten. When you feed your venuses regularly, do they bond with you?
cool , thanks
I find most of the comments here completely non-sensical. This video if fun and information
1:08 look in the back ground lol venus flytrap!
So what do they trap the most? Are they efficient or bound for extinction? So many unanswered questions 🤣
They’re very efficient but are a threatened species because of habitat destruction and poaching.

Venus Flytrap National Park maybe?

'leave the plants alone'!!
*rips off one of the plant heads that successfully trapped its prey for food just to make a vid.🤨
The plant likely had most of the nutrients it was going to get from that insect. Not a huge deal to the plant
Its not his last super. Just onze leaf.

No!!
Since they can live 20 years and a vunerable species why can’t we just plant a ton in there native area
i hope you people down there are working to save thes uniqe plants enviroment
Yes i like and i love plant in your country
8:10 He might find a snake or bear.
10:10oh！！！！
Cobra lillies
I like sensitive plants more. They are easier to care for.
If there are so few of them please don't pick the traps to look whats inside.
8:33 😾👎
🙇🏻♂️
???????
Why are you taking the closed traps off wild plants? You know that's how they get their nutrients and that they're rare enough in the wild. Shame on you
@GAMP: Sicker than your average kigger nilller go propagate them and stop picking traps off them then.

They might be lucky if they catch one once every week or even once a month.

I can guarantee you that he didn't take that trap off a wild plant. It came off one of his domestic plants. You can tell by the size of it.
If you grew flytraps, you would understand that this will not harm the plant in any way.
So you don't know about VFT?? Study more...
The least boring plant is coca
this presentation hurts its so bland and slow, its like mr. rogers on slow motion
