Venus Flytraps - Crazy New Growth Boosting Treatment for VFT's - Azoxystrobin

Вставка
  • Опубліковано 9 вер 2018
  • A new way to boost growth on Venus flytraps that may have been bought from a store where they did not receive good care, or ones suffering from insects, rot, etc. Azoxystrobin (Scott's DiseaseEX) is a fungicide which also boosts plant growth and leaf retention. 1 tsp up to 1 Tablespoon per gallon of distilled water. Can be used 3 times per growing season.
    The original idea came from forum user Jagasian, and you can read about it here:

    • @TheBonsaiJungle

      I move mine into the garage since it can get pretty cold in chicago, but I still want them to experience some cold temps for their dormancy period. But yes, growing outdoors in full sun or under high quality grow lights indoors is pretty much a requirement to keep these healthy and growing.

  • @franksflytraps
    @franksflytraps 5 років тому +11

    Keep making the great vids bro. After growing and selling thousands of traps, i agree 40-50°f is the optimal temp for a 4 month dormancy in a garage setting. Minimal light of an hour or two is all i use and watering is maybe once a month. Never had a fungus or bug issue using straight peatmoss. 3-4 years is a good run for most people that arent into the dormancy requirement and just want one. Id say most people kill them within the first year lol!

    • @TheBonsaiJungle
      @TheBonsaiJungle  5 років тому +1

      Interesting. Light is another thing I have heard mixed opinions about. Some say that during dormancy no light at all is needed (dormant rhizomes in the fridge) while others say a full winter day's worth of light is needed, which is what I planned to do- lights in the garage 9am-4pm. Maybe it depends on how much of the leaves are retained during dormancy? I once bought some plants from a local guy who had a small greenhouse next to his garage he kept at 45F all winter with supplemental grow lights. I am still jealous, but hopefully one day I'll build one as well and can finally grow everything how I would like to.

    • @TheBonsaiJungle

    I mail ordered Scotts Disease EX and mixed one level TBSP of it into a gallon of distilled water as per your recommendation and poured about a cup of it over each of my two VFTs and set them out into our Arizona sunlight. They have been doing poorly since I got them six weeks ago at a major hardware store in their plastic coffins. I have repotted them twice, The rhizomes appear healthy and there is good root structure. I have them packed in a mix of sphagnum peat moss and perlite (Black Gold Seedling mixture containing no fertilizer or nutrients). I think they have root rot and have been over watered sitting in about 3/4 inch distilled water under a grow light in my garage. Most of the traps have turned black, and they won't eat small dabs of freeze dried, powdered bloodworm mixed with distilled water on a toothpick. I hope the Scotts turns these around. I have mail ordered a young, potted B52 from Oregon that should arrive in a couple days. When it does, I will put a dab of the Scotts Disease EX on it. Thanks for your advice and information. Growing VFTs and hydroponic gardening are two safe things to do during a pandemic quarantine.

    Hey really like your vids. Alas most plants I have bought are sitting in water inside the local hardware shop with no direct sunlight and even though the plants look healthy they normally only live for a couple of weeks. I have adopted your planting method so fingers crossed this might work. Unable to get Scott’s diseaseEx in Australia so I’m experimenting with other fungicides.

    My Scott's came in the mail this morning. I got home from work shortly ago, time to try this out on my twelve cultivars
    ***Update*** I will have try the experiment again at a later date. I may have used too much per gallon because almost every one of the 16 flytraps I tried it on started showing signs of mineral toxicity; blackened new traps before they can form, and death of all traps starting at the "lips" and progressing. I have since transplanted each one and they are great now. Like I said, I'll try again at a later date.
    Another tip, not many people know of(just putting it out there for sh**s and giggles; flytraps LOVE really sandy soil. I have switched to a mainly Silica sand with barely any peat mixed in and their traps have gotten so much bigger and their roots poke out the bottom of the pots and are bushy.

      You shouldn't really have to feed them if they are outside. Most of the stuff they use to build their leaves comes from the air and water. Bugs are supplemental. If you do decide to feed them manually, remember you need to give them something that's still alive. If the hairs inside the traps aren't stimulated a few more times after it closes, it just opens back up again without digesting.

I took a pair of scissors and cut off the crushed root I looked at the Rhizome which was healthy so O dug a hole in the peat and put the VFT now with half a root thinking I had nothing to lose on this one I cared for it like I did with mine, I went one day to water it (distilled) water I noticed it had a new trap coming up! Thinking it was still going to die I kept looking after it a month later as I was watering it again I seen the one with the broken root now had 2 adult traps and a new one coming up! it was in my shed so I caught a fly off the window and fed one, it was like steroids and soon I had 2 plants!!

    • @TheBonsaiJungle
      @TheBonsaiJungle  5 років тому

      It is just some crap weed moss. Not supposed to be there. I try to get rid of it when repotting but just one spore falls in and it all grows back. I will try to get rid of it again after this dormancy, and replant live sphagnum on top to shade it out. Peat moss is decomposed and will not ever turn green unless it's algae, and sphagnum moss that is sold dry is also extremely rare to "resurrect". There are a number of safe fungicides, but the one to use usually varies based on what kind of fungus it is. Some say sulfur is safe but I have heard people say they avoid it. Compounds with copper should be avoided. Neem oil works, Hydrogen peroxide for mold works, Tebuconazole, & Chlorothalonil are the ingredients in the safe popular sprays.

    Hi Liguus I am currently a new follower. I am so glad you made this video. I have watched a few of your carnivorous videos. I have a small collection of carnivorous plants and I am currently working with cobra lily seeds and as of now they have been in the fridge for a week of 4 weeks for stratification. I am wondering will Disease Ex also boost seedling growth once they germinate? How much should we use? A teaspoon, tablespoon, or a 1/4 cup or none? I would have PM you, but it seems I don’t know how to navigate UA-cam to do so.

    • @TheBonsaiJungle
      @TheBonsaiJungle  5 років тому

      I haven't tested it out on seedlings, but I would use a very dilute amount: 1/4 tsp per gallon, until the seedlings gain some size. If they were mine I would probably not even bother using it until the seedlings are 3 months old. Like I said I have never tested this on seedlings so err on the side of caution.

    • @TheBonsaiJungle
      @TheBonsaiJungle  5 років тому

      I will probably give it a try, will have to order seeds first. Probably just an assortment of VFT seeds since my sarracenia seeds are mixed hybrids and probably will grow at different speeds anyways. I have no idea how to pm through youtube anymore.

    • @slayur101
      @slayur101 5 років тому +1

      Liguus no problem. I’ll tell you here then.
      I bought some Sarracenias in a large greenhouse shop and they were as small as my pinky when I got them. After a couple of months of owning them and tending to them I noticed the tops of the smaller leaves started to dry out so no big deal I cut the tops off. After a couple of weeks I noticed that they are still green, so I put some freeze dried blood worms in one to see what happens. I’ve also been feeding the bigger pitchers crickets. Nothing really stood out as far as growth goes, but later I bought a Sarracenia minor and it too was about the size of my pinky (a little bit taller) and this plant had a good amount of pitchers. For the longest time I could not figure out how to feed the minors without ripping their tops off or damaging them. Later again within a month a small pitcher with a dried up top snipped off the top and immediately put some dried blood worms. Within weeks I saw a huge difference in growth! They grew 3 times the size since I bought them! I wish I could show you pictures of how well they grew b/c it was that amazing how much of a difference it made! The first Sarracenias that I grew are like 4 times the size I bought them at the end of the growing season! I have been using Freeze dried blood worms on VFTs for 2 years now and 5-6 months for Sarracenia! This coming year when my cobra lilies are done germinating and a good and growing for at least months depending on how many pitchers a plant has, I think I will test it out on one pitcher of one plant to see the difference!

    • @slayur101
      @slayur101 5 років тому

      Oh I forgot to mention I moistened the dried blood worms, then I used a spray bottle on the small pitchers with streaming rain water after I put in the moistened blood worms.
      Also what I’m going to test out is snipping the top of the cobra lily pitcher and placing soaked freeze dried blood worms in it. Btw I won’t be snipping the whole top off. I’ll be snipping half of the head so that I can get my tweezers in it’s neck and drop the worms inside.

    Do you think it's okay to use Maxsea and Azoxystrobin (Scott's DiseasesEX) for my carnivorous plants? I'm planning on using the 3 month Azoxystrobin treatment on my VFTs, sarracenia & tropical pitchers. Thanks for informative video!

    • @TheBonsaiJungle
      @TheBonsaiJungle  3 роки тому +1

      Depends on the application. The azoxy seems to be best absorbed through roots, while the maxsea should be foliage feeding on most carnivorous plants. For the pitchers it shouldn’t be too much of a problem, worst case scenario the pitcher doesn’t absorb the azoxy, but for flytraps I would use them separately with the different application methods.

    • @TheBonsaiJungle
      @TheBonsaiJungle  4 роки тому

      Tommy D the rubber mulch will do one of two things based on its size: it’s either going to not absorb water properly leading to lots of irregularity with the moisture level, or hold it and prevent evaporation leading to rot. It also lacks the beneficial acidic pH of peat or sphagnum. Why not just buy a smaller package online or a small bundle of sphagnum moss at the pet store?

      For VFTs, I drain off excess water from the pots, hit them with a sulphur based fungicide and place in zip lock bags and pop them in the fridge for 3 - 3 1/2 months. I occasionally check them (once a month) for fungus and hit with the fungicide if needed. Late winter around February/March I take them out hit them with SULFUR based fungicide again and place in a south and west window and some under florescent and white 'daylight' LED lights until night time temps. regularly stay above freezing then slowly acclimate them to full outdoor Sun. I've been using this method for 11 years with no losses.

Do you have a recommendation on what soil to transplant it into at that point? I want to keep it a potted plant but would like to give it more pot to grow in. It's currently in a type of moss.

    • @TheBonsaiJungle
      @TheBonsaiJungle  5 років тому +1

      Carmen Sikntyrd2011 keeping it in light shade outside is probably a good idea. They sell various kinds of shade cloth so that you can adjust the light exposure if you want. It honestly should do fine in full sun for you though, except for the hottest parts of the year where it will look a bit more “beat up”. Only one trap on the entire plant has to eat every few months.

      Lily-anne Vereecken well I can say there are no negative effects and it helps prevent fungal issues during dormancy, but I’m still doing an experiment on nearly identical plants, one with the treatment and one without to see how big of a boost it is. I have not seen anything mentioned about the chlorophyll boosting properties of other fungicides based on other active ingredients but it’s possible in theory. Would have to research them on a one by one basis.

    Just curious as to what state you are in? The background sound (bugs) tells me your probably on the east coast. I'm in Virginia (foothills of Blue Ridge) and waver between
    zone 6 and 7, depending on the intensity of the winter. I have kept my flytraps outside consistently for many years and in fall I sink the pots into the ground and cover with
    leaves.... in early spring I uncover and they take off. My winters can go as low as minus -7* and I have never had a problem.... they always come back. The nursery Botanique
    is very close to me and he grows thousands of CP's and has done so outside for many many years.... I think these plants are hardier than we realize.
