    I saw these little cup plants at a nursery with my neighbor. She said she'd get me one if I did research on how to care for them so here I am!
    I think they were the second one you showed that you have 💚

    also i live in australia and i have 1 outdoors in a hanging pot that i have literally never touched. i have it in a self watering pot, all i do is top up the water every couple of days during summer but other than that, in the last 4 years, its grown really well

    Great video! I have been growing Nepenthes for a long time, and can say that you provide very good advice.
    FYI, I grow my N. ‘St. Gaya’ in lowland conditions and it’s doing quite well! You know what? I’ll post a video about it soon. You’ll see. 🙂

    I had a few carnivorous plants but didn't necessarily want a nepenthes because I figured that it wouldn't like my temperate climate.
    Still, I felt sorry for it at a random chain store so I bought it.
    I was pleasantly surprised how fast it started growing new leaves and pitchers given some more light than in the store and a bit more water.
    Its pitchers are so small that bugs can't really fit in the lid yet but I they do seem to be filling up with digestive juices so I put a fly in there.
    Very cool plant.

      It’s so nice when you take a chance on something you normally wouldn’t, and turn out loving it! That’s the same story for so many of my interesting plants as well. Well done for the care of your plant, and hope it continues growing well for you 😍

    Flowers won't help with identification, but maybe you mean pitchers? - Nice crash course by the way. If you want to try fancier species try Nepenthes truncata, maxima, and even veitchii

    Whenever you prune your Nepenthes you could use them for cuttings. I have a gaya and took four cuttings. Two of the four rooted.

    A very fascinating and informative video. That cutting I have has done absolutely nothing except start to dry out even though it is water with higher humidity. I still cannot figure out where it is supposed to grow root but it is not dead yet. Not sure if this is going to get me into Nepenthes but who knows.😀Thank you for this though as I really enjoyed it.

      it’s best to leave them be the plant will suck nutrients out of the old pitchers in an attempt to survive /make new ones, make sure you are using distilled water and your medium has no nutrients

    I'm new to the carnivorous plant scene and have watered all of mine
    I have a question Mini greenhouse 58 cm x 40 cm Drosera seeds 100 seeds (Mix)
    1.) Should we feed them manually at some point? as the domes are closed in their seedling stage to maintain humidity, leaving no access for any insects to get in.
    2._Should we open the dome every couple of days for them to get new air?
    3.) I have been told that boiled and then cooled water is fine for Sundews. Can anyone confirm this?
    4. ) Can I water the sundew filter

    • @sunshinecarnivores1919
      @sunshinecarnivores1919 5 місяців тому +1

      I use distilled or rainwater for my carnivorous plants. Brita filter still has A LOT of minerals in it that is harmful for carnivorous plants. Heard that zero water is really the only filter that can be used for these plants.

    She does not understand about that nepenthes. It goes deeper than that so I’m gonna make this very easy. Yes, they do need humidity. Good lighting you could use a white LED grow light or a for a fluorescent grow light plus they need good ventilation just take a fan and put it by your plant not directly on it but at an angle where it’s not too far away, but not too close. Another thing is depending on where you live where I live in lacks of humidity, so I have to make a soil mix that holds more moisture coconut husk 15 or long Fighbird, Spagna Moss and perlite

      Yeah you can do that or you can go all out like me and test everything. Light levels, humidity, soil PH, water PH (plus know it's alkalinity). Just thinking about it now, I think you meant long fiber sphagnum moss and that will have a neutral PH and nepenthes like acidic. I only have 1 nepenthes, I'm usually into Rhododendrons and stuff. I'm about to get one which will need sensors which send alerts to my phone, even experts in the field have stopped trying to grow it.
