No terrariums. No myths. No nonsense. Get the straight facts from guys who grow and propagate thousands of carnivorous plants every year, since 1995.
CORRECTION: In the video, we mentioned "ostrich fern." The actual name is cinnamon fern, Osmundastrum cinnamomeum.
We started growing Sarracenia and other carnivorous plants in pumice rock around 2000. The oldest of the rock gardens is a Sarracenia leucophylla, which also happens to be the oldest undivided Sarracenia in our nursery. About 10 years ago, we tried removing it, but the plant was embedded in the rock, so we decided to leave it alone. We'll continue growing it as it is just to see what will happen.
I enjoy asking people what their oldest plant is. I bought my Nepenthes Miranda from you about a 12 years ago. Its the last living plant from my childhood collection. It just put out its biggest pitcher ever and I have 3 rooted vines thriving. Easily my all time favorite plant after proving its insane resilience, stunning features and vigorous growth habit. Thanks you so much.
Hey Everyone. I realized I kept calling the ferns in the video "Ostrich Ferns". They are actually Cinnamon Ferns, Osmundastrum cinnamomeum.
Spectacular! And Jeff you lost some weight! Good for you! Glad to see you back doing the videos.
I’m about to start on my own Sarracenia rocks for a new pond project. Thank you from over the pond for all the inspiration 💚 🇬🇧
Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing, these specimens are beautiful.
Thats so cool how the plants spread and reproduce as close to natural as it gets and all on their own! And its amazing to see the size of those sarracenia clumps, you are truly growing them to epic proportions!!
Awesome! What a plant!
So many pitchers!
Any recommendations for where to get the stones online? I’m having trouble finding them. Awesome content by the way!
My Nepenthes grew superbly well in my large jar terrarium (clay pebbles overlaid with drainage fabric with perlite-peat mix on top) shared with Drosera and small Sarracenia. It was getting so large (look at my thumbnail here) that I decided to video the transfer to a new home of its own. Sadly while cutting away a pup plant from it I severed the main shoot! disaster! The baby is surving so far in another container. I will keep an eye open for pumice lumps. Thanks for the advice.
I have a couple in rocks and they ar.e doing awesome. Hopefully they will be half as nice as yours one day.
Such a beautiful plants
Awesome thanks from Australia
That's simply amazing!
Thank you for sharing!
A pumice quarry 😮😮 thats crazy the difference of locations and what can get. Im in the UK and spent months the other year trying find lumps of pumic from any source by messagging loads landscaping places and the like. The biggest bits could find here in the end were from ebay and werent even fist size. So wanted try this after seeing your other video few years back with the pond and the how to make video but those were to small for even most pings 😓
Thanks for watching. Yes, these rocks are difficult to find. Even for us!
Love you guys 🥰😎😊
Love the plants. I wish I lived in Florida or Cali but nope I'm here in Southern Ontario 🇨🇦
check out Brads Greenhouse on YT, he is in CA somewhere. does not upload much anymore but has lots of outdoor and indoor CP vids. living in CA is no excuse go get you some CPs 👍
I follow the channel (Wending Our Way...I think) a nice gentleman in Nova Scotia, Bruce and his dog Otis. They go for weekly video walks. Recently I noticed one of the wilderness park trails had a sign directing walkers to the insectivorous plants. It has given me hope that maybe I could set up a small bog here in my Scottish garden. But we get minus 5 to minus 10C in winter plus a lot of rain more tha snow these days. Would they survive? Maybe.
Absolutely astonishing!
Cool
QUESTION: I have some Sarrencia's I have from you guys...doing great!! But I see some of the new tubes seem to lean while other stay vertical. Is there a reason like more water or sun or is it just what they do? Or is it because they are the tallest may be coming to their end? Thank you!
Thanks for watching the video! To best serve you, submit your question through our website.

Please, how do you protect your sarracenias from strong wind? I grow sarracenias here in Italy, but wind always damages them. Thank you.
Where do you get those rocks? I live in East Idaho and there is a ton of geology around here, do I just go out to a lava flow and grab an extra porous lava rock?
Also, it is impossible to get away from the super hard water around here, is that going to be a big problem?
