Checking out Venus Flytraps in their NATIVE habitat
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Trip down to bogs of Eastern North Carolina in November of 2022. Usually this site is completely beautiful with bright yellow-green Sarracenia flava (North American pitcher plants) but they had already gone dormant as we approach winter. 
Sites like this are very secret and only shared throughout a tight community for their protection.
Sorry for the poor quality and randomness of the video with little structure or explanation. My main goal was just to enjoy some time with my little family and friends, and bask in the gorgeous wildness of this natural land.
Thank you Dr. Brandon Huber for sharing your enthusiasm and botanical knowledge for carnivorous plants and all things horticulture.
That still amazes me that they're only native in one small region on the planet. Thankfully with so many nurseries propagating them, it's unlikely they'll ever go extinct.
Yea so many people are growing them in different parts of the world
yes, I'm from the central region of Brazil and I grow dioneas
Wow! So many carnivorous plants in one location! Loved it
nothing better than finding plants in the natural home cheers from Australia
I'm really obsessed with these plants
I have managed to see Venus flytraps growing wild, but not in their native habitat.
I live on the west coast and have never had the opportunity to visit North Carolina. On this coast, I have visited several Darlingtonia sites, the most interesting of which also had Pinguicula macroceras beneath a water fall, scattered about on rocks like green starfish.
Nearby where I live there is an isolated bog where CP enthusiasts have started a colony that contains not only native sundew species, but four Sarracenia species and Venus flytraps. They are not tended, but grow wild, slowly spreading around the bog.
A State agency was going to destroy them as “invasive” species. But after discussions with local enthusiasts, they were convinced none of them could spread beyond the bog and threaten anything native.
We go to see them once per year or so.
Wouldn't mind taking a trip down there to see them indigenously
So many different kinds are growing so vigorously! I was amazed.
Wow. Did not expect to see that much variety. Nice.
This place is going on my bucket list
I love flytraps and it's amazing they are so localized to one area of the world then other carnivorous plants that are nowhere near related to them live all over the rest of the world.
They are very endangered- nice to see them in their natural habitat. Beautiful red colouring in the wild.
This is one of those 'look but don't touch, only take pictures, leave only footprints' teaching moments.
Absolutely. You have to watch your step actually because you don't want to damage any of these rare plants, and they are abundant throughout the area.
Great! This is what i wanted to see!
I always thought they came from Amazon or somewhere in the jungles in Central America
Awww I love this!
Time passes much faster when I am having fun. 🌹
Thank you for your sending.
I'm glad to find a nice video.🌈
This is my favorite video on youtube⭐️
It's a video I like so much that I want to watch it many times.❤️
Thank you for a great time. 🌿
I was crazy about it.🌱
I can see why everyone likes you.🌸
I had so much fun I forgot about the time. 😊
💕
I'm looking forward to seeing your next movie.
May Lady Luck smile on you！
Observe, take pictures, but No Poaching Please !
Absolutely. Unfortunately this one of the only sites left on earth because of heavy poaching and habitat destruction in the 19th and 20th centuries.
@@marblebotanics where was this?
😂😂😮😅😅
It is now a felony to poach VFTs from their native habitat.
Natural hybrids are always cool
It’s drosera capillaris throughout the video. Got the privilege to see them here in Texas last summer
So it looks so dry. I thought they are bog plants growing in water. So we dont have to freak out when they are not in water? That is amazing to see all those carnivores in situ. Thanks!
The soil they are in is like a sponge and is very saturated. It is a combination of peat moss and sharp sand.
Wow that shocked me! 😯
as red as they are it makes me wonder if a group came out and planted a few hundred around the bog of some clone or new variety from the plant groups just to help keep the species alive in the wild, most of your typical plants dont get deep red but more light pink
I won’t dare to visit this place if I were an insect
This looks like fort Bragg
I wouldn’t have guessed they grew up in North Carolina with their winters. Do you know if they grow in North Florida/South Georgia??
only the Carolinas, you guys have other carnivorous plants though like the Droseras they grow throughout the east coast and Midwest, they are not related in any way which is very interesting to me.
Yeah venus fly traps can withstand freezing temperatures and getting covered in snow, that's what happens in their natural habitat
They go dormant in winter. We grow them outside in the UK! They are extremely resilient plants and can take a real battering from nature.
Venus Fly Traps are native only to a couple of counties along the NC and SC border near the coast. They're invasive anywhere else.
Wow
Fires kill the trees but not the vft's.? And they don't destroy the bog?
🥰🥰🥰
How do u keep them
What kind of soil are they growing in?
If you were to dig a little hole, what would it look like?
Is it rocky or sandy?
I'd really like to know.
I heard if you plant them in soil containing nutrients and minerals they dont last long.
But how do all the other plants grow around it if that were the case?
Dont they need nutrients and minerals?
It's a 50/50 mix of decayed peat moss and sharp sand. The other plants growing there are adapted to that soil type as well.
@@marblebotanics Thanks. Greatly appreciated.
Penguin killer? What’s that?
What kinda VFT is it?
All would be considered typical. It would be cool to see some rare looking traps.
I wonder if people actually pluck them and bring them home to grow.
People get caught on a regular basis poaching these plants
It is now a felony to poach VFTs from their native habitat.
Here on the coastal plains law enforcement are aware of these plants habitats and they keep an eye on those areas. It's a felony to dig the plants plus
you can get into legal issues if your trespassing on private property. There are areas where you will see Sarracenia Flava growing along side the roads, they're
easy to spot because they're so tall. In spring you can easily find the Dionaea by their tall spikes of white blooms, but otherwise they can be tricky to find
as they are growing in dense areas of shrubs. If your exploring these areas keep an eye out for snakes, there are several venomous species that call these
bogs home.
Prime tick habitat
Mereka bisa tumbuh ditempat terbuka tanpa perawatan , ditempat saya , membutuhkan modal jutaan untuk bisa membuat tanaman ini hidup sehat 😢
Those traps are big and red to be native. Don't try to harvest any. It's a felony in NC.leave them be.
I'm still not sure that's not a garden.... Almost every carnivorous plants families!
Because carnivorous plants grown in shitty soil
I need link facebook you pleaseeee!
