Thank you.
You're welcome!^^
hello po meron po ba kayo shop sa shopee lazada or facebook? thank you
Yung pollination nya ganon lang? Kuskos lang o meed ikukuskos pabalik feom ibNg flower
Basta drosera same flower lang po sir. Self pollinating kasi sila. Merong ibang cultivars na pwde e cross pollinate sa iba.. Pero ang sample ko sa video na 'to hindi pwde e cross sa ibang species.
If I only have a coco peat, it can still live right?
It can still live but it will not be as healthy as the ones with peat moss ang pumice. That's based on our experience. I think it's because pure coco peat is more compact. So the aeration is not that good compared to coco peat with peat moss and pumice. If you don't have peat moss at least mix some pumice or perlite to make the medium more airy. If the aeration is good they will grow bigger and healthier.
Is there a reason why my sundews are not putting out their sticky dew? Unless I turn on my humidifier it won’t make any.
not enough light and humidity
Hi.. can we use white led instead for mature plant (not seedling)?. I want to make mini indoor carnivorous bog garden , so white led is better for it to be enjoyed.
In our experience the white LED we used is just for germinating seeds. After they have grown a few centimeters they stopped growing. We experimented on some of our plants. The ones that we transferred outdoor grew bigger and matured. Now they are producing flowers. The ones that we left under a white LED and on the full spectrum are still small(3 months already). Both sundews and VFT's. I've searched on the internet some growlight are made specifically for germinating seeds. You have to buy another growlight that are made specifically to make them grow or mature.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 thank you for your kind explanation. So indoor sistem is not an option--unfortunately. I will make outdoor garden then. Love from Jakarta..
@@wilmanj.5139 indoor is still suggested if you have a growlight for growing 'til they mature. But if you have a space for outdoor set up we suggest that you place them outdoors. Morning sun from 6am to 10am is what we suggest both in germinating seeds and for growing.
If you're in Indonesia we have the same climate. So our set up is applicable to yours.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 am planning to get some vft, drosera, pinguicula, and one sarracenia. Vft and sarracenia is a bit expensive though haha.. anyway do your vft experience some dormancy?
@@wilmanj.5139 be careful in pinguiculas because they are sensitive. Treat them like succulents. Don't spray or water directly onto them. Just on the medium but just a little every 2 or 3 days depending on the climate. Never let it sit on water.
For vft being dormant. If you buy from a local nursery in your country there is less chance for it to become dormant because it has already adapted to the tropical climate like ours. But in our experience I can't tell if it has undergone dormancy because it didn't stopped producing traps buy only produced small traps and in just 1 month. And that only happened to one vft out of 20 that we have. One of my friend claimed that he experience dormancy. He just put it in the refrigerator in the vegetable compartment until it recovered.
We only experienced dormancy in one of our droseras. It's drosera Intermedia. It stopped producing leaves and all the existing leaves slowly died out and we let one grower confirmed it. We didn't do anything we just leave it that way and after a month it recovered.
If you want to start with sarracenias we suggest you start with sarracenia scarlet belle. It's easier to grow and can tolerate tropical climate. Ok with full sun or partially shaded. It's beautiful and produce pitcher fast.^^
In buying carnivorous plant we suggest to buy on big nurseries or farms. They usually sell their plants at a cheaper price. Hobbyist or small growers sell their plants at a higher price because they only have few available plants to sell. Kind of supply vs demand.^^
pede pob ang soil sa kanila gaya sa ibang halaman
Hindi po. Dapat ang medium na walang nutrients. Best example ay ang coco peat, peat moss at sphagnum moss. Kasi pag ordinary soil mamatay sila dahil daming nutrients.
Hi. Java moss po yung nailagay ko. Okay lang ba?
Hindi ko pa na try ang java moss pero sa tingin ko pag wla talagang available na sphagnum o peat moss OK na siguro yun. Basta lagyan mo lng ng pumice o perlite for aeration. Kasi sa experience namin kahit sa coco peat na my pumice ok naman ang growth nila. Wash mo lng ang java moss bago gamitin. Observe mo lang ang growth ng tanim kung ok sila. Pag hindi OK dapat my ready ka na na sphagnum para malipat mo agad.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 okay thank you po!
Di kaya matuyo yan kasi mainit at mababa ung humidiflty
Hindi po basta sundin lng ang tips ko sa video na 'to. Pag summer morning at evening kmi nag rerefill ng water tray. Pag rainy day tuwing gabi lang. Sa Pilipinas walang problema ang humidity kasi natural na mataas ang humidity natin dito.^^
I had few seeds spread at same spot and they all start germinating. When do you need to separate them individually? Your ones look stunning. Thank you

Watch our other video how to sow sundew seeds. On the last part around 7:50 you can see the size of the sundew before I transfered it to a seedling tray or individual pots. That's your basis.
ang tubig galing poso bawal poba
Bawal po.
Know where I can buy some good Drosera seeds? I bought lots before and nothing sprouted.
What country do you live? I'll try to check if there's a legit seller there.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 USA in the lower 48. Would like a place I don't need a credit card. Check or money order I'm concerned about hackers. Regardless of how "safe" the site is suppose to be.
@@plantguy9 try to contact Sarracenia Northwest. They are growing carnivourous plants since 1995. They are located in Oregon. Ask them if they have seeds of the specific drosera you want and the payment option you are comfortable with. Message them at growers@growcarnivorousplants.com
I'm not part of them nor have tie ups with them. I'm just one of their subscriber even before I started growing carnivorous plants.^^
What do you mean by distilled water?
Un po ba ung mga absolute nasa bote na nakasulat distilled?
Opo. Pwde ring ibang brand basta nakasulat distilled. Hindi pwde ang mineral o alkaline.
Last question po pwede po ba pakain ng fish food? Anong brand po
@@pog6396 hindi lang ako sure kung ok ang fishfood sa lahat ng variety ng sundews. Nagawa pa lng namin sa indica at burmannii bilang experiment. Pero ok naman ang result. Bloodworms gamit namin. Sprinkle lng ng konti sa mga tentacles nila. Ginawa lng namin sa sundew na hindi nkahuli ng insekto. Hindi lang ako sure kung ok sa maraming nahuling insekto. Baka ma overfed at mamamatay dahil ma used up na ang lahat na energy niya.
BTW, kahit ilang beses ka magtanong wlang problema sa akin.hehe
Link po ng shop nyo?
Hello po. Wla po kaming shopee e. Pero meron kaming physical shop. Kaya lng sa Bacolod City. Nag shiship din po kmi outside Bacolod. New Llacer Electronics and Electrical Supply pangalan po ng store namin. Message lng po sa FB messenger for inquiries.
Good am. How many watts is the white leds?
In 5:22? We used a 14.5 watts white LED bulb.. it's effective within 12 inches squared area because we covered it with a downlight casing. It's good for seed germination and leaf pullings.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 question po, my drosera burmanii currently has a flowering stalk, then there is a 2nd small flowering stalk growing. Is that ok? Is it normal?
@@richardhao7436 ok lang po yung dalawang flowering stalk. If you're planning to propagate it just let it flower. But the problem on burmannii is it will focus all the nutrients in the production of the flowers. What we do is manually feed all the petals with ants (Ants are ok for sundews but not on VFT's) if not the plant will die.
If you're not planning to propagate it and keep the plant beautiful without manually feeding it, just cut the flowering stalk.
If this is your first burmannii I suggest that you propagate it. Just manually feed it so that it will not die.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 copy that. Ill try propagating it hahaha. Thank you po very much and more power po to the both of you!
@@richardhao7436 thanks.^^ basta ang manual feeding during flowering is applicable only on burmannii and humpty doo. On other sundews even if we don't manually fed them during flowering ay magaganda pa rin sila.hehe
Thanks ulit sa panonood at happy growing!^^
is it annual or perennial po?
Perennial.
Hello sir, may shopee page po ba kayo for your shop?
Hi. Sa ngayon wla pa po. Direct lng muna sa akin facebook.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 What's your facebook page po?
@@shinea.5702 Message lang sa New Llacer Electronics and Electrical Supply. Shop namin yun.^^ either ako o asawa ko ang magrereply sa 'yo.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 Sorry po may another question po, yung TDS meter po pano ginagamit to check the reading sa sphagnum peat moss and coco peat?
@@shinea.5702 Mag check ng ppm sa sphagnum ang ginagawa ko pag dry talaga binababad ko muna sa rain water ng 5 to 10 minute. Tapos mamasahin ng 30 seconds lng. Tas my strainer ako na gawa sa silk screen. My container sa ilalim para sumalo ng piniga na tubig. Yun yong tinetest ko.
Sa coco peat naman pag dry katulad ng mga nabibiling block, binababad ko ng 7 days. At ang proseso sa pag test gamit ng TDS meter same lng sa sphadnum. Pero ang coco peat usually lagpas 1000 ppm ang 1st wash.
do you have a facebook/ lazada/ shopee account for your store? if physical, where is it located?
Message lang po sa facebook namin New Llacer Electronics and Electrical Supply. Main business namin talaga ay mga electrical. Sideline ang mga CPs 😆. Ang store namin ay located sa downtown ng Bacolod City. Sa messenger na lang po tayo mag usap ng ibang details. Salamat.
