I live in Northern Ireland
Right beside Andrews mill and my plants have been growing fantastic for the last 4 years outside and are still going strong
Am subscribed my friend thank you for the video
Thank you so much for the support! I would love so much to visit Ireland someday!
Great video old friend.
Hey, old friend! Thank you for watching again. Hope some of the older ones hold up, Lol. Sometimes they can be painful to watch, even for me!
That wasp scared the crap out of me. I'd freak out lol
It does kind of pop up. You can hear the buzzing way before you see them. They try to fly out but their wings hit the side and they fall back in.
I'm also in zone 6. This sorta gives me some ideas why my first venture into American Pitchers didn't go well. I think it was what I was feeding the plant and the pot I put it in that ended up being my mistake. It seemed fine otherwise in a west facing window to get a little bit of light (I have a VFT that was in the same window and thrived). Gonna try again when it warms up a bit more so I can get a good pot for it this time.
Why is this video coming out at the end of dormancy?
I was waiting for this question. I actually shot it, had some stuff come up. Completely forgot I shot it due to shooting a couple others in the same few day time span. I just realized I never release it. So, it was release it now, so it's available for next years dormancy, or save it for next year. I figured I'd just get it out there.
Still dormant here on parts of the west coast.
@@DLCoates1and in the UK
sunlight helps with avoiding mold
It does, but when you're in a zone 6, sunlight doesn't peak through very often during dormancy.
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub grow lights work to :)
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub a shelf in the cold garage with grow lights should work
Oh ya, 100%. Mine get 4 hours. But, I keep them above 30 degrees at all times. If temps get too low, you might have to sacrifice light for overwintering. We had a span here where the high was 3 degrees and the low was negative 9 for about a week. During that week, if I didn't have my tent, I'm wrapping them all up tight.
Another question.
I know it is recommended to cut flower stems for new growers and young/unready VFTs, but what about pings, sarracenia and drosera? Do we cut those as well?
Your link for silica sand does not work so can you tell which brand of silica sand you use?
I clipped of my pitchers just now, when the plant is starting to wake up. Don´t know if it´s better to do it in spring or autumn though...
However, I see you clip of some pitchers and leave the bottom of the pitchers, which contains insects. I think I read somewhere that is it best to trim it back further to the point where the pitcher is no longer hollow. Do you think it makes a difference?
I'm not sure it makes a huge difference. I can see the dead insect matter causing some mold issues, so it wouldn't hurt anything to go down a bit further.
do you have any videos on how you cultivate moss?
I don't. I don't grow it myself much. Most of mine is hitchhiking from other nursery. I do keep one pot where I add some when I tear it off pots. If you order from California carnivores, usually they come with some star moss. You can tear off, put on peat. Keep it really wet and it grows like crazy!
Carnivero, Carnivorous Plant Nursery and California Carnivores all sell moss.
A microgreens/seedling tray with a humidity dome filled with a small layer of peat/perlite is great for cultivating mosses.
Edit- I also have a reptile mister in the dome, 30 seconds every 3 days seems to be perfect for my tent environment. You will have to experiment. You want the peat wet, but not saturated.
You need to make sure you let the tray breathe daily, and I have my moss tray in a shaded corner of my grow tent. Cooler temps seem to work better (mid 70-75°F day/ 55-60°F night; RH is never below 75%).
Patience, patience, patience. A starter tray with some live sphagnum (15-20 small heads) usually takes about 5-6months to fill up with moss.
So can i put my sarracenia purpurea on my balcony? It gets like down to -10°C there
You can if you overwinter. I wouldn't leave it exposed in those temps for a sustained time frame of more than a couple of days
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub my second option is put it in my cellar where is like 5-10°C is it acceptable for dormancy? And thanks for that quick answer
Question, when in the wild and these picture plants accumulate bugs and no one is cutting then do the rotting carcasses cause mold and plant rot?
Great question. The answer is probably sometimes. But, you have to remember. Them growing in the wild are their perfect growing conditions. Most of the time we can't provide perfect growing conditions so we help them in any way we can. Ice had Sarrs make it without trimming. I just believe it helps the new plants in spring get access to more sun and it looks a lot nicer than the dead all over the place. I'm sure a few rot in nature every year.
I keep my pitcher plant, nepenthes and flytrap inside in my room when its around 20*C, and currently outside is 15-7*C in day and 0-5*C in the night. How will I know my plants are hybernating the winter and are not dead? Currently my venus flytrap is not on surface of the dirt (there's black leftovers inside the hole it was growing in), pitcher stopped growing and have brown tops, nepenthes startet to dry out. Please help
Like already stated, nepenthes should be kept warm, no dormancy needed. You will see slowed way down or even stoppage of growth. This is how you know they are dormant. It's triggered by reduced light and colder temps. It can be hard to tell if you can't see the rhizome.
