If those springtales are still alive, you can raise them and sell them cause many people will buy them. People will put them in their vivarium if they keep frogs and reptiles to have a bio active environment.
Glad to see it’s doing good! Springtails are great to had in your plants they are natures cleaners they eat dead and rotting things so they are good to have especially in carnivorous plants cause carnivorous plants are prone to bad things cause of all the water then generally need. 😭😭 I was so sad my sarracenia never did come back out of dormancy i don’t know what happened
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub well I've been keeping it watered and everything just incase it was late but I mean its mid August now I don't think it's gonna happen haha
Thats totally possible. When I did some research, the closest thing I could find was a Swaniania, could even be a purp x swan. No idea. Even though it doesn't get really big, I really like this plant though. Its really beautiful, whatever it is!
I received a Freebie in my order from Fort Bragg Carnivores a few years ago with a plant that looks strikingly similar, it was labled Rubra × SPV Lettuce JA had to be seed grown. Mine colors up solid red under the right conditions. I assume/hope SPV is Purp Venosa Lettuce, one of Jerry Addingtons lovely purps!
Your springtails are a different color than those in my Area, but they are definitely springtails. Springtail mouths are not strong enough to chew living plant material. They actually eat the fungi and mold that are naturally present in your soil and their feces are a very weak fertilizer. Because of their small size, they might be confused with thrip, which do harm plants, but yours are true springtails and are harmless. I believe that they go dormant in drought or cold weather. Anyhow, they always come back in the spring.
My first thought was thrips, then I saw them bouncing around and figured they must be springtails. The info I found did say they range in color based on area. I didn't realize they would also go dormant with my plant and come back in the spring, that's really cool! Do you think it's okay to introduce them to my venus flytraps as well?
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub The chances are quite good that there are springtails already living with your flytraps. It wouldn't hurt to add more. They love a moist soil where beneficial fungi or algae can live.

Dear Reader, As an absolute beginner I've bought a Sarracenia, planted it in peat moss, sand and perlite and let it stand in 2 cm of rainwater. And it grows very well. But the leafs are just leafs. Long upright stems that looks like onion stems. Rounded leafs. But absolutely no chalices. So no opening in them, and the tops are small slightly brown, and not real hoods. At daytime the plant stands on a garden table in full son (although in the Netherlands, there are also clouded and sometimes grey and rainy days. And to extent the hours of light, in the evening and early night the plant is moved to a garden shelf with a LED grow light. It does grow very well, but not one chalice has developed. I cant order the sun to shine, but I do my best with everything else. Even with extra light when required. What goes wrong? Michel F. van den Brun Hopefully not a Double Dutch Dutchman
It sounds to me like young pitchers coming up. On my Maroon, it doesn't turn into a pitcher until it's almost fully developed, more like a long leaf. Give it more time, they should fully develop and open up!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub Oh nice! I'm down in the Boise area. I'm watching throigh all your videos and might not have come across it yet, but how do you plan on wintering over your plants with the weather we have here?
I'm sure it's critter related. I don't know if one gets trapped and eats its way out, but I'm sure its some kind of bug. None of the other pitchers have this and these holes both showed up at the exact same time. \
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub well today I found what looked like a cocoon from a moth or butterfly right down inside a pitcher so I cut it off and left it in a safe place so incase it's a rare butterfly ive not hurt it
I think for some reason my VFT is dying. It’s leafs are tuning yellow and fast then turning black. There are about 4 yellowing, 3 already black and about 9 healthy.
Oh man, that doesn't sound good. How much water are you giving it. When mine got crown rot, it went south really fast. Did you maybe give too much water?
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub I have water d once every 3 days and it’s been super sunny. I don’t know, some of it is doing fine, but it seems to be shedding leaves very quickly, probably too quickly. I changed water from a 0 mineral to 10 mineral which shouldn’t be too bad hopefully
Ya, it's hard to really say for sure. I'd say the hood looks a bit more like Swaniania but I just don't have enough experience with Sarrs to really know for sure. Either way, I really like it!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub don't think it's in cultivation yet cause its carnivore was just recognized. Of course carnivorous plant enthusiasts like us are going to want to add it to our collections.
They look like springtails to me. They are great for you soil. Healthy plant 😊🌱❤
Thank you! Glad to have them!

I'll look into that, they are definitely still in there! Thank you for the info!
Looking good man.
Thank you!

Oh man. I'm sorry to hear that. I honestly didn't think this one was either. It came out super late and made me pretty nervous.
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub well I've been keeping it watered and everything just incase it was late but I mean its mid August now I don't think it's gonna happen haha
I'm the same way. I'll water a dead plant for months before I let it go...
Nice Update ❤️

Thank you!!
Beauty, keep eating those wasps!! They are thick here in Alberta.
They have been bad here too! Need bigger Sarrs. My flytraps catch them but they are often a little too big and end up killing the trap.
Reminds me of my purpurea hybrid. Swaniania is more maroonish in color. Hood blocks the tube more and is a bit like a cobra and rounded.
Thats totally possible. When I did some research, the closest thing I could find was a Swaniania, could even be a purp x swan. No idea. Even though it doesn't get really big, I really like this plant though. Its really beautiful, whatever it is!

Nothing like a Freebie! Does yours get big? It was hard to find photos of that plant, not many around that have been photod.

What part of the PNW are you in?
North Idaho.

Great question Travis! I'm going to be doing a video here soon all about dormancy in cold weather. Probably in Seotember sometime. Stay tuned!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub Sweet! Looking forward to it!
My vet looks way better after getting use to the new pot
Ya, sometimes it takes a bit! Glad it's looking better!
Haha my serracinia has holes in the side I thought maybe a cattapller looks like it's a issue with them
I'm sure it's critter related. I don't know if one gets trapped and eats its way out, but I'm sure its some kind of bug. None of the other pitchers have this and these holes both showed up at the exact same time. \

Seems like a pupurea hybrid. Maybe a cross between purpurea x flava?
Ya, it's hard to really say for sure. I'd say the hood looks a bit more like Swaniania but I just don't have enough experience with Sarrs to really know for sure. Either way, I really like it!
They eat the mold that grows also
Yes, I love my springtails!
Did you hear a plant was recently recognized as carnivorous. It grows from Alaska to Califiornia.
I did see that! I was thinking about doing a video on it!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub don't think it's in cultivation yet cause its carnivore was just recognized. Of course carnivorous plant enthusiasts like us are going to want to add it to our collections.
I did see someone selling seeds! But I meant more of a news video.rather than a growing video.
This is really cool, what is its name?
Triantha occidentalis or common name is the Western false asphodel. Grows in bogs in pacific NW as far up as Alaska and as far south as California.
