Beginners guide to nepenthes (pitcher plant)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- In this video I share the knowledge I have gathered on growing nepenthes which is also sometimes known as a carnivorous pitcher plant.
As I mention in the video, I have not grown nepenthes for very long, but I have been growing other carnivorous plants and tropical houseplants for many years.
As mentioned in the video one of the best places to get knowledge on the nepenthes is on Red Leaf Exotics youtube and instagram.

😂😂😂😂😂 Best comment ever, glad you enjoyed
You forgot the plant 🤣🤣
@@RecklessGenesis goes without saying! 😉
I have one of these and sometimes it looks happier and sometimes sadder. I'm here to learn how to keep it always happy 😊
I'm experienced with aroids, but a newbie to pitcher/carnivorous plants. I definitely needed this!💚
Awww glad that is was useful 😊
Hi and thanks for the badly needed info. I grow mine in an enclosed screened in area but small insects still get in. I’m not sure if it’s getting nutrition, but it’s finally growing pitchers. My plant now looks like yours. Is there a particular season for the pitchers? Like flowering Eason?
The pitchers might stop growing in winter
I just received my nepenthes hookeriana and the pitchers r dried and crispy but the leaves and the plant as a whole is healthy .. Any tips on growing it as a beginner?
This is great! Solid information, and your plant is beautiful. I’m addicted to carnivores, and wish more folks would just give them a shot. Such rewarding plants. The hybrid Nepenthes have been way easier for me because they’re not as specific about their care requirements. Thanks for another awesome video.
Awwww thank you so much for the kind words, it truly means a lot to me 😊 🙏
Yeah for sure I agree with you more peeps need to try them 😀
There are a lot of really easy to grow species too
I just love your attitude. I love listening to plant people who aren't experts and have gone through trial and error and learned from that. Thought I'd share haha
Is it ok to keep the nepenthes alanta pitcher plant outside on hanging basket? And how do you properly trim it or take off dead pitchers?
So,where'd you catch that Victreebel?
I live in a Jungle and LOVE carnivorous plants (I have several vfts nepenthes and purple pitchers + other “normal” plants) but my question is how do you start geting into botany without going to college aka how do I just dip my toe into botany
Loved the way you explained about the common swamp pitcher plant. My question is do I give each pitcher a bug my first time having one its a baby has about 4 pitchers and can you tell me when is the time for me to change it to a difrent pot and what kind of soil do I put in plz help do appreciate it very much my name is leticia thank you very much blessings loved you're video.
I have no idea what type of nepenthes I have. It's gonna be a surprise! My ex (back then still girlfriend) had one that looked really unhappy. So I cut it back to the basal amd replaced the potting mix with moss. Told her to regularly water it with rain water. And I tried to make cuttings from everything I cut off. Well one of the 4 cuttings I made was successful and is actually doing really well.
I hung it up in front of my window. And the top part is very drafty so it gets loads of humidity from there (I put it somewhere else when it gets too cold.) and it's starting to grow the beginnings of pitchers, so I'm curious what it's gonna look like! According to her, they had very large pitchers when she got it.
Don't give my plants human food? But I eat fertilizer all the time! That just wouldn't be fair.
Just got my first one and it's just like yours. Automatically I went on here to find care guide and your video is my first video and I've got so much info. Oh, I'm a person that tends to visualize as well and I pictured the mouse with the newspaper before you mentioned the newspaper part so when you said it, it was just hilarious to me.
I grow them in potting soil and use tap water , water once a week…they are thriving, and huge , I have to cut them back often, I live in a tropical area….
Second time I watched this video. Got our Monkey pot today! We where told millworms and no tap water. Thank you ❤️ I will check out the RedLeaf folks
I love your vibes, just bought my own and I’m excited to care for it!! Thank you for the info!
Türkce daha iyi anlardim 😂😂
I keep reptiles so I just give my venua fly trap and nephentes gaya occasional cricked, grub beetle of whatever bugs I happen to have twice a month.
They seem to thrive as I give them differend bug every feeding time but all tvey really get is the bugs I feed my lizards.
Sometimes I find a fly or moth in them but it is very rare indoors there are not too many straggler bugs that end up here.
Just got my first pitcher plant after growing a venus flytrap and a drosera for the past two years. Really helpfull info, thanks a lot!
You never linked to red leaf?
I just bought a pitcher plant today. I cut off two pitchers that were dried out and blackish leaving 3. Will it grow back or just be a leaf of the plant now? Is the one that is still closed just not mature? But they don't have tops I thought but just noticed the smallest one does.
Only one pitcher per leaf unfortunately
I run a dehumidifier in my basement and often use the water from the collection tank to water my Napenthes. I’m in Minnesota US where our winters are very cold and dry. I winter them in a grow tent with a humidifier on an IHC programmed with a setpoint of 85 RH and a 3% differential.
that sounds like rocket science not plant tips 😭 I thought these things were supposed to be kinda hearty, mine's not looking too good.
❤❤❤
Hi please help me, I don't know much about these plants or how to grow them but I was given a Nepenthes plant, it grows out ward but the Nepenthes it's self don't grow they stays small. To the pot I added dirt then moss on top, and a plate with water but nothing. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong or what I need to grow them properly.
How do you fix the pitchers if they dry out and start to turn brown? Should it be cut back?
N. lowii - tree shrew is the pooper
Great video content thank you❤️
1 thing this is my personal preference for some reason the starter intro music makes me feel angry or frustrated
Is there a way to stimulate more jars to grow? I came back from holiday and they had all shrivelled up :(
This is great! Thanks for making this video, you are funny and informative
I just bought one, however one of the "bulbs" seems dryed out, should I cut it or there is chance for it to recover? 😊
i think all carnivorous plants like mineral free water however correct me if i'm wrong
Monkey cup is edible from cup to the roots as medicinal or veggies
We learn together! I got for my birthday.
Omg memo you are so funny you really made me laught
That looks a lot like my nepenthes atlata
ventrata is a tough old bird and puts up with most conditions
How do I know when to repot mine
Does hamster poo work the same way?
Can I use reverse osmosis water
It's a ventrata
I have one and I have about 40 pitchers, I use tap water and it on my back porch, I Florida. I do put water in my pitchers and they love it.
That’s mage me feel better as I tipped the water out when I bought it from the garden centre, then I filled it up with water hen thought damn this isn’t digestive enzymes and it’s not meant to get wet etc
I accidentally tipped the water out of the cups not realising quite what it was when I bought it before loading in the car. Can anyone tell me what I should do and how they create the juices?
Interesting vedio
Thank you so much 👍👍
What with gardener making video?? Why can't you guys make it short and concise
How would you prepare the plant to treat smallpox if ever you needed too
It doesn't lol
@@monke1919 native American Indians used the Sarracenia purpurea to fight smallpox. In vitro the plant did stop replication of the virus. Look it up
@@kem6474 yes, but this is a totally different plant in the video that does not.
@@monke1919 some people are just stupid, best to ignore them.
@Tj Semeniuk ya just like covid
