@@Bradybrandwood I'm getting home I can mostly avoid killing off Audrey. I wasn't sure how cold was "too cold". Now I know to try to figure out setting Audrey outside, but under cover. I don't think my wife will let me have the plant in the 'fridge, we don't have so much room in there anyway and Audrey would likely be knocked over or buried by something. I get traps that seem to get something in them and they blacken. I understood I was to cut black parts off. But is this part of the normal cycle? I also wasn't aware of how deep the dormancy should go nor how crucial it is. It's December 24th, and I'm already "late to the party" on forcing dormancy. My current plan is to just try to keep this thing alive over her 2nd winter, then replant for a "water through the bottom" system in the spring. If there's anyone with whom I could talk with about Audrey, it would be very reassuring to me. Every "mad scientist geek" needs a carnivorous plant. And I want to have something for myself to keep alive and have thrive. Thank you so much for this video. For me, it isn't so much about the plant, but about my hope for keeping and growing an unusual, but for me, appropriate house plant.
@@WilliamAndySmith-Romaq Yeah you can likely do well by keeping it moist and with good light over this winter, then giving it a dormant period next winter. All of the flytraps I have bought tend to grow larger and stronger during the spring and summer after a dormant winter though. ✌️✌️✌️
Now I know what I did wrong, I got everything figured out except for the dormancy thing. If you don't allow them to go dormant the plants become senescent and eventually die. Putting a fish in there for larvae control is an excellent idea, even your cat loved that idea! Your channel rocks, and everybody loves Leon!
When the cat jumped in the bag I laughed. Lovely informative video, one day when I am not living in this broom closet of an apartment I may try traps again. They are rarely sold up here as the growing conditions in the Arctic circle are not conducive for bog plants. But I got my Orchid to grow and flower repeatedly so I might be up to the challenge!
This is a great instructional video, thank you! I wanted to mention that Sarracenia (American pitcher plants) are very easy to grow and make great starter carnivorous plants.

Excellent video. When I was repotting ( I’m a novice to carnivores at the moment btw). There was compost stuck to the traps etc. I;ve found that using a hand held sprayer set for fine mist can clean the traps without setting them off.

I'm glad I watched your video as I'm collecting them to make a carnivorous arrangement myself outdoors in the spring (I'm in the UK), every neglected and sad plant I see in the shops are often reduced to clear, so far I collected 5 for virtually nothing, but I think one has died as it completely disappeared. also i have no clue what variety they are, but I don't really mind that. As for cutting the flowers off I do agree with you completely. Apart from being their natural way of life and being pretty... cutting the flowers would be in my view the equivalent of buying an orchid and cutting the flowers off ... yes it its demanding on the plant, but plants flower in order to propagate whether they produce viable seeds or not is almost irrelevant. Your video is very encouraging - I feel ready for spring 😊 Thank you!
I live in a southern state. My fly traps stay outside all winter. Even when it gets below 20 degrees. They die way back, but come right back in the spring. Right now starting this year my new ones are in my unheated greenhouse I built last summer and it gets below 30 in there. I haven’t lost a trap leaving them outside in the 3 years I’ve had them. Only problem I’ve had with new traps is fungus that seems to rot the plants in summer. But I think I’ve found the solution for that. I’m going to catch rain water for the traps and find a good fungicide.

I have venus flytrap for like 6 years now (got it from local supermarket) and although i live in Europe (Lithuania) it's enough sun for the guy. I never repotted it, saw no reason for that as we live in a flat, keep it during the winter in the fridge and he is healthy AF in spring. Although I always cut off the stem, but after watching your video will try to grow a flower this year. Also was using plastic pot for water system, then randomly chose one from coconut shell. Never thought about not using clay other material that got minerals. I guess I got lucky! :D Nice content, keep up!
I've been keeping traps for about 15 years with success after 20 of failures. Distilled water was a drag but I found ZEROWater filtered water keeps the plants healthy when indoors. I don't keep them in a fridge. I do leave them in the winter on a windowsill here in Chicago but that might be same thing. On the balcony they feast even four stories up. I found the distilled water and moss the critical ingredients that I missed before.
I so needed this! I've tried for the past 2 years & this last year I got it to survive for a month & that was it... They were hiring when I bought them. The first one lasted a week... I tried Google. Now I know!!!
I've been growing Venus Flytraps for a few years now, and was like, awesome, a Venus Flytrap video. When I heard you talking, I thought, hey, that sounds like the Leon guy, and it turns out, you are lol. I actually prefer peat moss over the sphagnum, and after a while, a layer of live moss starts growing on top, which keeps the rain from kicking up bits that stick on the plant. I use shade cloth in the summer during the hot parts of days. Also, crane fly season is like Christmas season to the flytraps lol. Thanks for the awesome video!
Leon brought me here :) I have a little Venus flytrap I've managed to keep alive for a year and a half. It lives on my windowsill here in Arizona. It's starting to outgrow its original pot. I bought some special soil made just for flytraps but need to figure out when to transfer it to a new pot. Not sure if I should do that while it's dormant or in the spring. Great video!
I wasn't sure from the video - do you use a mix of sphagnum moss, peat moss and sand for the substrate? If so, what proportions do you use? I've never had much luck with Venus flytraps, but it would be fun to try again, especially now knowing they need a dorment period!
Hey Jan, I have been experimenting with all 3 of those media types and pure sphagnum moss in a deep pot seems to perform the best,… it stays moist longer, and doesn’t splash up all over the traps when it rains. ✌️✌️✌️
i go with 2 parts sphagnum peat moss, 1 part perlite and maybe just a bit of sand (half a part maybe or less) long fiber is too expensive for me and im happy with the shredded sphagnum, just make sure you pre soak the moss in a container before using cuz if its dry it can be very hard to wet down ... the reason i put a bit of sand and perlite in my mix to make it drainable, pure shredded moss could potentually hang on to too much water up by plant and you dont want that. you want it wet with wet feet but not drowning in it, if that makes sense ...
Great video man! I live in an apartment in NYC and don't have access to proper "seasons". For winter, I put my VFTs (and pitcher plants) in the fridge. They survived and are thriving now in the summer.
@@Bradybrandwood So far I haven't, but you just reminded me that I do have freeze dried bloodworks in the fridge that I could bring out now. Thanks for the reminder! :-)
Great info! Thanks for sharing! That constant growth in Florida kills decidous trees too. It's put down to carbohydrate exhaustion (weak growth). They never get chance to accumulate carb energy cos of the constant growth. The tree will look like its doing well for a few seasons then just die. Normallly pests will be the final straw. Pests wont attack healthy plants though so the plant must become unhealthy (low sugar/brix) before the pests finish it off. It is predominanly the lack of carb cycling (storage in autumn) and proper nutrient/hormone cycling in deciduous trees. That rest time actually forces them to become robust, they pack carbs into the tissues in autumn. Thickening and solidification of branches happens visually faster at this time as opposed to summer. Quite amazing to monitor really. Bugs and fungi can't eat high sugar or corky tissues without getting sick. Then spring all of those saved carbs are resolublised and used for growth. If in constant growth, the growth is faster, but weaker. The plant doesn't store much (if any) of its accumulated resources and puts it all to growth instead. A deadly choice, but the only one for temperate adapted plants. Sugar cycling doesnt happen so immunity of the plant suffers and pests/diseases take over. Facinating really.
Same with excess nitrogen. Promotes furious green growth, but it can make things weak and over-extended and too wet, like tomato stalks, for example, that grow very fast but not strong enough to support the tomatoes -- which is already a classic problem with tomatoes, but too much reckless growth makes it even worse.
@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 great general rule of thumb, but not if the roots and foliage are balanced. Nitrogen doesn't make much difference over the whole year. Not many hort ppl say this though becasue it complicated stuff. And their roots and shoots are rarely balanced (they rarely sort or balance the roots out in notmal hort). If the plant is in growth mode nitrogen might produce leggy weak growth. Late application (when not in growth mode) will improve winter hardiness and not lead to leggy growth though. Nitrogen is packed into tissues increases freezing point of fluids. It is common to treat citrus with foliage nitrogen before a frost in temperate countries to protect the tissues. Pruning will put the plant into growth mode though so pruning together with fertilisr application is not good late on if one cannot sustain the conditions for optimal growth over winter. Without pruning, once buds have set and growth has slowed for the year nutrient partitioning shifts to storage with shorter day length and the nitrogen is packed into tissues. It can only really be switched back to growth at that time by removing auxin generation at the shoot tips (pruning or leaf removal/reduction). The only natural way I have seen this happen is with pest infestation late on (thrips and caterpillars with beech defoliating trees).
My son loves these we've had a few. I have a problem finding the right soil, sphagnum moss hard to get were I live. Minus 30 Ontario Canada.Thank you for all your wonderful teaching videos. Excellent. Say hi to Leon for all us fans. And again Thank you for all your videos.🌟
Great video! I got some venus fly traps last year and I'm waiting for them to wake up from dormancy now. I let one of my grocery store traps flower in the summer and I was kind of nervous because it entered a weird early dormancy. Good to know a good winter lets them reset a bit!
Very nice video, used some flying bugs in my apartment as an excuse to get a venus flytrap from Ikea but didn't really know how to take any care of it.
Flytraps can produce seeds within about a month after flowering. It takes a long time to grow Venus fly traps from seeds though,... about 3 years to get an average sized plant, and it’s pretty challenging. ✌️✌️✌️
My first dormancy. I have them under artificial light on a timer simulating the winter photo period. They are in a heated shop which never freezes but stays between 40° and 60°. I think you could do the same thing in a basement.
This is my first dormancy period with my flytraps, my first year in general with them. I live in Georgia 8a, so very close to their natural habitat. I haven't needed to cover them so far, and I only plan on doing so if a hard and long freeze happens. We've had one light freeze where the next morning, they had a thin sheet of ice in their water, the lfs moss wasn't frozen at all, but they don't look as nice as yours. It'd be their first dormancy ever, as my entire group is from box stores like Walmart, Lowe's and Home Depot, could this be why? Or is it simply because they're more exposed to the elements? Some of the stems are a more reddy in color, not the pretty reds that the mouths get, but they aren't dead. They still have new growth coming in and they've lowered their leafs onto the moss like they're supposed to. The one who looks the worst is actually the one who started going into dormancy far later than the rest, but he does still have new traps.
Omg I am so glad you said that about letting them flower!! I read that youre supposed to cut them, so I did, and both plants died within months!! ): Just bought some new ones!
@@fairuzraz2468 This is generally determined by temperature,… around 50f and lower,… and by the amount of daylight. For instance here in Carolina it’s around November.
i agree with you about not cutting the flowering stem off why would you disrupt the plant when thats what it evolved to do the flowers are part of its lifecycle which also help it feed and the point about spiders thats nature competing such marvellous wonders nature can really be
I'm interested in getting some fly traps, but I live in Toronto, Canada, where we do get HARD winter, and I can't find a simple, straight forward answer for what to do with them during winter. Do I bring them inside? Do I leave them outside? Any advice?
Yeah they do need a winter break, but not below 30°. Some people will just put them in the bottom of their fridge for the winter so they go dormant for three or four months there. Then bring them out in the spring and they will pop back to life.
Tray watering is the way to go but you must! top water occasionally if your VFTs don't get enough rain. This clears mineral buildup. Don't use a light for heat in winter. VFTs are photo dependent.
We live in mid-Florida and want to keep ours indoors. We have an LED light that simulates sunlight. What can we do to keep it alive? We don't get flies often except during the spring/summer when we leave the doors and windows open to air out the house. Is spritzing tap water enough? I think we got ours at Home Depot. I never knew they needed a dormant period. Thank you for all the information you've given.
Very informative video! Thanks for that! :) For anyone that can answer I have a few questions. Firstly, I bought my plant online in late fall, and have it under grow lights during the day because I didn’t want them outside in the beginning. It’s growing very healthy…BUT now it grew a big flower stem and winter just started…is that bad? Can I overwinter it next year? I live in Germany and it can get well below freezing sometimes, can they survive outside if I cover it or should I put them in the fridge? And lastly, should they still be in a bowl of water in the fridge too? Sorry if my writing seems very chaotic like I said I’m German 😅 Thanks in advance.
i got mine from wallmart and as soon as i got it i was able to split it into three pots. i am on the third year with them. i'm in New York so i keep them on patio in sun most of time, in the shade with minimal sun only when its like 90 outside. nov 1st i water one last time, mist with a bit of fungicide then place in plastic bag or a tupperware container (pot and all) without letting it sit in water and i put them in bottom drawer of frig until mid febuary then take them out and snip off any dead stuff and put it back on patio in sun with wet feet again ... you dont want them sitting in water in frig but you dont want them dry ether, if you have them in container or bag and its closed it should be good all winter with out needing any watering and if the frig is cold enough it wont need light either. in my case when i take them out of frig in febuary it may actually be winter outside still so i usally put them indoors in sun somewhere untill spring really starts up then i kick them outside ... and yes, mine try to flower when i put them in frig, i dont pay any attention to it, it will pick up where it left off in spring when i take them back out again.
I've been keeping these for about 15 years here in Chicago. Flowering: No, its not bad. This is because of the spectum of your grow light. They can survive below freezing for 2-3 days in a row but I bring the smaller ones in the house (with a north facing window) and a huge potted one into the garage. Chicago can freeze up for months. When frozen they don't need water.
I live in League City, TX, zone 9a. i have heard that different venus fly trap varieties grow better in certain places. what would you say is the best venus fly trap to grow? (preferably with big traps) also, is it ok to use dehumidifier water?
Good questions. I don’t know of any variety developments that have actually changed the requirements or needs of Venus Flytrap. May have to research that one. Also I personally would think dehumidifier water could have chemicals and other particles in it,... such as perfumes, dust, smoke, etc.
You can use sphangum moss, you can find this in the flower section of Lowe’s or Home Depot, or pure peat moss that hasn’t been enhanced with any fertilizers, or you can use pure clean silica sand the type used for swimming pool filters. Do not use outdoor soil,... (unless you live near boggy areas of Wilmington, NC) ✌️✌️✌️
@@Lex-hw8tb The only perilite I have seen at Lowe’s was from Miracle Grow and was enriched with fertilizer, so that would not be good for Venus Flytraps. Definitely read the packaging and be sure there is no fertilizer added. ✌️✌️✌️
Thanks for your video, I have a question though. I grew one from seed but it’s not growing… should I put it under dormancy? I put the seed during winter and it’s been tiny since it germinated… got a lot of leaves though, but suddenly a lot of them died and now it’s pulling 2 new leaves out… I’m in southern hemisphere, it’s summer until march. Thanks I’m advance if someone could give me a piece of advice
I want to keep one of these inside for August and September when our fly season hits. Can I take it straight from inside temps directly to outside temps once the fly season is over? Or is that gonna be too much shock?
What the hell? I watched your Leon videos, but I recently have struggled and sadly my trap died. I tried really hard and felt bad. Them i see this. Very interesting. Now, back to the video!
I live in south central New York where we have 2 weeks of spring 2 months of summer 2 weeks of fall and 9 months of crappy to winter weather. I bought 3 plants 4 years ago to have something to mess around with in my windows. Since I have got them they have gone thru 3 dormancies where they have shrunk down to only one or two traps active at any given moment. I have managed to split off over 15 plants with each years repotting. Naturally I have lost a few here and there but I am learning. Mine don't get as big and full as yours as being so far north I cant meet their natural sunlight requirements. I ran led grow lights last season and they did better. I have however only had one get a flower stem and by recommendation cut it of that first year I had them. I have never had one since. At least they come out of dormancy fine and have been propagating easily enough. I do however want to focus on getting a healthier growth rate this year now I know more how they behave and what their needs are. I will experiment and do half in the sphagnum moss they have always lived in and half in some other media. I think I want to try clean sand vs the peat n perlite messiness.
Stupid question here, but leaving the pot in a large ammount of water or even just leaving it in water constantly, does the medium not constantly suck up the water, causing roots to drown? Because how do you control how much water is needed for the medium if it just sits in the water and assumes it should suck it all up?
Yes, the flytrap rhizome or core should not be sitting constantly in water. Using tall pots and only a small amount of water in The reservoir assures that the media stays moist at all times, and the long flytrap roots that grow down will stay moist all the time, particularly in the hot summer months. It acts a little like an oil candle wick.. And the doormat. Of winter the media will stay moist for long periods of time, and the reservoir will not need very much water in it at all.
Hey Brady, i am not familiar with the size or diameter of your currency being from Australia, would you be able to tell us the size of those coins you displayed next to the venus fly traps for comparative size. BTW i very much enjoyed your video thanks.
Yeah, you can put moistened fish pellets in the trap, but I have found that it tends to cause the trap to rot and die faster than normal. Also it can attract ants, mice and other unwanted pests to the trap.
@@Bradybrandwood thanks for commenting, Im keeping them on enclosed glass balcony of an apartment flat. Will they go long enough so I can pollinate them for seeds tho ?
I’m here in south Florida and I have multiple species of carnivores, I keep it damp using my pond as a basin plenty of sun but not too much. All my fly traps are a deep red with only a couple random stems being vibrant green. I have not put them through any cold. What could cause this and is it a bad thing?
Hi Biff,... some fly trap types have been crossbred to be more red overall, but also fly traps and some other carnivorous plants will tend to be more red when in continuous bright sunlight. How many years have you been keeping them in those conditions down there? Any issues with a need for a dormant period In the winter at all?
I am new to the VFT and this is my first year,I have my traps on the porch and It has caught 5 bugs so far ,all the traps are full at the moment lol.I am worried about this winter tho.I live in Southeast Kentucky,I thought about putting the traps in a cooler and just keeping them on the porch,is that ok to do?
A place that you can keep them between 32 and 50°F all winter, with no flooding, and no drying out would be great. This can even be in your fridge, or in a garage that doesn’t go below freezing all winter. I would definitely leave them outside in the open sun until the weather starts freezing at night. ✌️✌️✌️
Good information, just don't understand the goldfish in it. It will put food in the water (aquaponics), and that's not good. (or you need enough cats to eat them quickly)
Yeah, I’ve experimented with a few things, and did consider the little fish could add nutrients to the water. The biggest issue with that technique, though I found was raccoons were constantly tearing up the pots trying to get to the tiny fish. ✌️✌️✌️
Is it possible to keep venus flytraps indoors? The climate where I live (northern Great Plains) is not going to be conducive to good health for the plant due to extremes of temperature both in summer and in winter, constant drying, strong winds, and relatively low humidity. Our wintertime lows average in the upper 20's F, and summertime highs regularly exceed 100F. High winds and hail are common in the summer as storms move through, and it is rare not to have at least some wind (minimums of 7 to 12 mph). Our relative humidity is usually somewhere around 25% and 40%. Today, for example, it's 32%. It's a pretty typical winter day; sunny, 29 degrees, winds north-northwest at 9, at 07:53 am. Though it will start warming up in late February, we won't be clear from hard freezes until the end of May. When the hot and cold weather will begin or end is pretty much unpredictable. We've had hard freezes as early as September 11th (during my lifetime anyway), and first snow as early as September 30th. We have had years when the first hard freeze was in December, and where it didn't snow until February. Everyone was surprised that Kentucky and several other adjacent states had tornadoes in December. By comparison, though tornadoes are more rare in the winter months, we have had them in every month. Similarly, there is only one month when no snow has ever been recorded, and that's August. While snow has fallen in July only once, that's still once, and things can get cold briefly in any month here. It can also get surprisingly warm in the winter too. I have no clue how, with such crazy temperature swings, plants here know when to grow and went to go dormant, and in fact, sometimes they don't. There have been several times when we've had heavy wet snows when the leaves are still on the trees, and at those times you just listen with a breaking heart as the limbs of big, old trees break and crash to the ground. Anyway, the question is, can venus flytraps be raised successfully indoors?
You could have put a 2nd carnivorous plant in there with the fish, its called a bladder wart it sucks in small organisms like mosquito larvae or a filter it will not only clean the water so won't need to worry about fish poo build up so the fish and plants dont die it would move the water around preventing mosquitoes from landing Spawning and eventually congregate around the containers
That’s very hard to say without seeing the plant and knowing more about the conditions. If it starts sprouting a new trap or two within the next week or two though that would be a good sign that everything is OK.
@@jamesstricklin1343 OK I just looked at it. I would flush that really good with distilled water, and put it in bright sun outside and hopefully it will sprout some new fly traps.

Came to the channel for the lobster, stayed 'cause of quality posts like this
Lots of great information, even though I run a commercial greenhouse I have never had much luck with these. Time to try it again.
Excellent Stephen, thank you for checking it out. ✌️✌️✌️
You have the coolest hobbies,I am living vicariously through you:) I absolutely love it! Lol 😆
Awesome Larae! Thank you for watching. ✌️✌️✌️
Leon brought me here :) I have a little Venus flytrap I've managed to keep alive for a year and a half. It lives on my windowsill here in Arizona. It's starting to outgrow its original pot. I bought some special soil made just for flytraps but need to figure out when to transfer it to a new pot. Not sure if I should do that while it's dormant or in the spring. Great video!
I wasn't sure from the video - do you use a mix of sphagnum moss, peat moss and sand for the substrate? If so, what proportions do you use? I've never had much luck with Venus flytraps, but it would be fun to try again, especially now knowing they need a dorment period!
Hey Jan, I have been experimenting with all 3 of those media types and pure sphagnum moss in a deep pot seems to perform the best,… it stays moist longer, and doesn’t splash up all over the traps when it rains. ✌️✌️✌️
@@Bradybrandwood Thanks so much!
i go with 2 parts sphagnum peat moss, 1 part perlite and maybe just a bit of sand (half a part maybe or less) long fiber is too expensive for me and im happy with the shredded sphagnum, just make sure you pre soak the moss in a container before using cuz if its dry it can be very hard to wet down ... the reason i put a bit of sand and perlite in my mix to make it drainable, pure shredded moss could potentually hang on to too much water up by plant and you dont want that. you want it wet with wet feet but not drowning in it, if that makes sense ...
Very impressive. You know your stuff! Great edit as well!
I was having trouble keeping my Venus flytrap thank you for this! :)
Great video man! I live in an apartment in NYC and don't have access to proper "seasons". For winter, I put my VFTs (and pitcher plants) in the fridge. They survived and are thriving now in the summer.
KENTOSI Wow that’s excellent you have found a routine that works for your situation. Are you feeding your carnivorous plants manually then?
@@Bradybrandwood So far I haven't, but you just reminded me that I do have freeze dried bloodworks in the fridge that I could bring out now. Thanks for the reminder! :-)
Great info! Thanks for sharing! That constant growth in Florida kills decidous trees too. It's put down to carbohydrate exhaustion (weak growth). They never get chance to accumulate carb energy cos of the constant growth. The tree will look like its doing well for a few seasons then just die. Normallly pests will be the final straw. Pests wont attack healthy plants though so the plant must become unhealthy (low sugar/brix) before the pests finish it off.
It is predominanly the lack of carb cycling (storage in autumn) and proper nutrient/hormone cycling in deciduous trees. That rest time actually forces them to become robust, they pack carbs into the tissues in autumn. Thickening and solidification of branches happens visually faster at this time as opposed to summer. Quite amazing to monitor really.
Bugs and fungi can't eat high sugar or corky tissues without getting sick. Then spring all of those saved carbs are resolublised and used for growth.
If in constant growth, the growth is faster, but weaker. The plant doesn't store much (if any) of its accumulated resources and puts it all to growth instead. A deadly choice, but the only one for temperate adapted plants.
Sugar cycling doesnt happen so immunity of the plant suffers and pests/diseases take over.
Facinating really.
Same with excess nitrogen. Promotes furious green growth, but it can make things weak and over-extended and too wet, like tomato stalks, for example, that grow very fast but not strong enough to support the tomatoes -- which is already a classic problem with tomatoes, but too much reckless growth makes it even worse.
@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 great general rule of thumb, but not if the roots and foliage are balanced. Nitrogen doesn't make much difference over the whole year. Not many hort ppl say this though becasue it complicated stuff. And their roots and shoots are rarely balanced (they rarely sort or balance the roots out in notmal hort).
If the plant is in growth mode nitrogen might produce leggy weak growth. Late application (when not in growth mode) will improve winter hardiness and not lead to leggy growth though. Nitrogen is packed into tissues increases freezing point of fluids. It is common to treat citrus with foliage nitrogen before a frost in temperate countries to protect the tissues. Pruning will put the plant into growth mode though so pruning together with fertilisr application is not good late on if one cannot sustain the conditions for optimal growth over winter.
Without pruning, once buds have set and growth has slowed for the year nutrient partitioning shifts to storage with shorter day length and the nitrogen is packed into tissues. It can only really be switched back to growth at that time by removing auxin generation at the shoot tips (pruning or leaf removal/reduction).
The only natural way I have seen this happen is with pest infestation late on (thrips and caterpillars with beech defoliating trees).
This is one reason why global warming is a problem for colder regions
My son loves these we've had a few. I have a problem finding the right soil, sphagnum moss hard to get were I live. Minus 30 Ontario Canada.Thank you for all your wonderful teaching videos. Excellent. Say hi to Leon for all us fans. And again Thank you for all your videos.🌟
I am from the UK and have always struggled with them. Fantastic information, that I look forward to implementing!
this video helped me a lot my Venus fly trap jornal grew 3 pages and you are my number one resorce
Finally! All my answers about Venus Fly Traps answered! Plus I watched all of the ads for Leon!
Excellent content. I loved the organ music. And I really love carnivorous plants. Is there a video on the pitcher plants?
I don’t have a video on pitcher plants on my channel. I’ve been struggling with those a little bit. ✌️✌️✌️
@@Bradybrandwood it's surprising to hear that, but awesome that you're trying. Maybe try different species. I think there's even different genera
Great video! I got some venus fly traps last year and I'm waiting for them to wake up from dormancy now. I let one of my grocery store traps flower in the summer and I was kind of nervous because it entered a weird early dormancy. Good to know a good winter lets them reset a bit!
Very nice video, used some flying bugs in my apartment as an excuse to get a venus flytrap from Ikea but didn't really know how to take any care of it.
Thank you so much I Could never understand why I could never keep one of those I didn’t know that they went dormant
How long does it take for the flytraps to have their own seeds?
Also, how long will it take to grow them from the seeds?
Flytraps can produce seeds within about a month after flowering. It takes a long time to grow Venus fly traps from seeds though,... about 3 years to get an average sized plant, and it’s pretty challenging. ✌️✌️✌️
Seeds DO come from those Flowers, But I've never waited that long, just went to Wal-Mart, they are cheaper to buy there...
I’ve been looking for this since forever! Thank you for sharing 🙏
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out! ✌️✌️✌️
My first dormancy. I have them under artificial light on a timer simulating the winter photo period. They are in a heated shop which never freezes but stays between 40° and 60°. I think you could do the same thing in a basement.
I can't believe how big and colorful your koi are. Gorgeous.
We have a green house that we don't heat during winter. Do you also keep the pot in a basin with water during winter?
Yeah they stay in the basins in winter too, but if the basins go dry for a few weeks in winter it’s not a concern. ✌️✌️✌️
i litteraly live in north carolina i keep them out all the time and rarely water them and there doing ok for about 2 yrs so far!!!
This is my first dormancy period with my flytraps, my first year in general with them. I live in Georgia 8a, so very close to their natural habitat. I haven't needed to cover them so far, and I only plan on doing so if a hard and long freeze happens. We've had one light freeze where the next morning, they had a thin sheet of ice in their water, the lfs moss wasn't frozen at all, but they don't look as nice as yours. It'd be their first dormancy ever, as my entire group is from box stores like Walmart, Lowe's and Home Depot, could this be why? Or is it simply because they're more exposed to the elements? Some of the stems are a more reddy in color, not the pretty reds that the mouths get, but they aren't dead. They still have new growth coming in and they've lowered their leafs onto the moss like they're supposed to. The one who looks the worst is actually the one who started going into dormancy far later than the rest, but he does still have new traps.
Hey Riley, yeah mine seem to look better and better after every dormancy. So I bet yours will too.
Thanks, just the info I was looking for.
Awesome! Thank you for checking it out. ✌️✌️✌️
Omg I am so glad you said that about letting them flower!! I read that youre supposed to cut them, so I did, and both plants died within months!! ): Just bought some new ones!
If we living in the tropical region, what should we do for dormant time? Put the vft into refrig, or what?
Yes, just set the plants directly in the veggie bin of your refrigerator for three months.
@@Bradybrandwood do you know what month does the venue flytrap go into dormancy?
@@fairuzraz2468 This is generally determined by temperature,… around 50f and lower,… and by the amount of daylight. For instance here in Carolina it’s around November.
A really good and informative video there, many thanks for this.❤💯👍👍
Hey, thank you for checking it out! ✌️✌️✌️
this video is such a help! Thankyou. Love to Leon.....
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out. ✌️✌️✌️
Should you water the same during dormancy. Or only water some or not at all??
i agree with you about not cutting the flowering stem off why would you disrupt the plant when thats what it evolved to do the flowers are part of its lifecycle which also help it feed and the point about spiders thats nature competing such marvellous wonders nature can really be
I'm interested in getting some fly traps, but I live in Toronto, Canada, where we do get HARD winter, and I can't find a simple, straight forward answer for what to do with them during winter. Do I bring them inside? Do I leave them outside? Any advice?
Yeah they do need a winter break, but not below 30°. Some people will just put them in the bottom of their fridge for the winter so they go dormant for three or four months there. Then bring them out in the spring and they will pop back to life.
Awesome video! Cheers from
Miramar.
Awesome 305 Gardener! Thank you for watching. ✌️✌️✌️
Awesome video! I love these plants.
What shud height or depth of the pots when repotting please..thanks
Tray watering is the way to go but you must! top water occasionally if your VFTs don't get enough rain. This clears mineral buildup. Don't use a light for heat in winter. VFTs are photo dependent.
im so lucky to be in North Carolina has a gardener. I can’t wait to buy some VFTs this fall to grow at Elon University
It’s the silly little things in life… like that clear milk jug 😍
This is as fascinating as Leon👍🏻
Awesome Michael! Thank you for watching. ✌️✌️✌️
Do you put an airator for the fish?
Leon brought me to this channel everything else has me staying
We live in mid-Florida and want to keep ours indoors. We have an LED light that simulates sunlight. What can we do to keep it alive? We don't get flies often except during the spring/summer when we leave the doors and windows open to air out the house. Is spritzing tap water enough? I think we got ours at Home Depot. I never knew they needed a dormant period. Thank you for all the information you've given.
Is that spider mites? Do you have issues with them? I've lost 3 types to mites
Hey Ashley yeah I have, and there’s a follow up video here on my UA-cam channel about medicating fly traps. ✌️✌️✌️
I actually binge watched a few episodes and found that video right after. Thank you so much
This song is “Evolution (Pretty Good Movie / Pretty Good Theory)” by $uicideboy$ :)
Very informative video! Thanks for that! :)
For anyone that can answer I have a few questions.
Firstly, I bought my plant online in late fall, and have it under grow lights during the day because I didn’t want them outside in the beginning. It’s growing very healthy…BUT now it grew a big flower stem and winter just started…is that bad?
Can I overwinter it next year?
I live in Germany and it can get well below freezing sometimes, can they survive outside if I cover it or should I put them in the fridge?
And lastly, should they still be in a bowl of water in the fridge too?
Sorry if my writing seems very chaotic like I said I’m German 😅
Thanks in advance.
i got mine from wallmart and as soon as i got it i was able to split it into three pots. i am on the third year with them. i'm in New York so i keep them on patio in sun most of time, in the shade with minimal sun only when its like 90 outside. nov 1st i water one last time, mist with a bit of fungicide then place in plastic bag or a tupperware container (pot and all) without letting it sit in water and i put them in bottom drawer of frig until mid febuary then take them out and snip off any dead stuff and put it back on patio in sun with wet feet again ... you dont want them sitting in water in frig but you dont want them dry ether, if you have them in container or bag and its closed it should be good all winter with out needing any watering and if the frig is cold enough it wont need light either. in my case when i take them out of frig in febuary it may actually be winter outside still so i usally put them indoors in sun somewhere untill spring really starts up then i kick them outside ... and yes, mine try to flower when i put them in frig, i dont pay any attention to it, it will pick up where it left off in spring when i take them back out again.
I've been keeping these for about 15 years here in Chicago. Flowering: No, its not bad. This is because of the spectum of your grow light. They can survive below freezing for 2-3 days in a row but I bring the smaller ones in the house (with a north facing window) and a huge potted one into the garage. Chicago can freeze up for months. When frozen they don't need water.
Whats the intro beat? I recognize it as the sample from Evolution - $uicideboy$ and the following beat is another instrumental / sample they used

I live in League City, TX, zone 9a. i have heard that different venus fly trap varieties grow better in certain places. what would you say is the best venus fly trap to grow? (preferably with big traps) also, is it ok to use dehumidifier water?
Good questions. I don’t know of any variety developments that have actually changed the requirements or needs of Venus Flytrap. May have to research that one. Also I personally would think dehumidifier water could have chemicals and other particles in it,... such as perfumes, dust, smoke, etc.
You seem like such an interesting person 😍
Thanks for the tips
Awesome! Thank you for watching. ✌️✌️✌️
I live in Singapore where it is constantly hot and humid, should I put the Venus flytrap in the fridge for the dormant period?
What kind of soil can I use? Im a beginner and I don't have access to get soil online, could I use outdoor soil?
You can use sphangum moss, you can find this in the flower section of Lowe’s or Home Depot, or pure peat moss that hasn’t been enhanced with any fertilizers, or you can use pure clean silica sand the type used for swimming pool filters. Do not use outdoor soil,... (unless you live near boggy areas of Wilmington, NC) ✌️✌️✌️
@@Bradybrandwood Persellite and moss type dirt mix would be ok? If its at Lowe's
@@Lex-hw8tb The only perilite I have seen at Lowe’s was from Miracle Grow and was enriched with fertilizer, so that would not be good for Venus Flytraps. Definitely read the packaging and be sure there is no fertilizer added. ✌️✌️✌️
@@Bradybrandwood Alright , I will look :)
Do this type of care applicable for other carnivorous plants?
Thanks for your video, I have a question though. I grew one from seed but it’s not growing… should I put it under dormancy? I put the seed during winter and it’s been tiny since it germinated… got a lot of leaves though, but suddenly a lot of them died and now it’s pulling 2 new leaves out… I’m in southern hemisphere, it’s summer until march. Thanks I’m advance if someone could give me a piece of advice
I want to keep one of these inside for August and September when our fly season hits. Can I take it straight from inside temps directly to outside temps once the fly season is over? Or is that gonna be too much shock?
What the hell? I watched your Leon videos, but I recently have struggled and sadly my trap died. I tried really hard and felt bad. Them i see this. Very interesting. Now, back to the video!
I live in south central New York where we have 2 weeks of spring 2 months of summer 2 weeks of fall and 9 months of crappy to winter weather. I bought 3 plants 4 years ago to have something to mess around with in my windows. Since I have got them they have gone thru 3 dormancies where they have shrunk down to only one or two traps active at any given moment. I have managed to split off over 15 plants with each years repotting. Naturally I have lost a few here and there but I am learning. Mine don't get as big and full as yours as being so far north I cant meet their natural sunlight requirements. I ran led grow lights last season and they did better. I have however only had one get a flower stem and by recommendation cut it of that first year I had them. I have never had one since. At least they come out of dormancy fine and have been propagating easily enough. I do however want to focus on getting a healthier growth rate this year now I know more how they behave and what their needs are. I will experiment and do half in the sphagnum moss they have always lived in and half in some other media. I think I want to try clean sand vs the peat n perlite messiness.
Stupid question here, but leaving the pot in a large ammount of water or even just leaving it in water constantly, does the medium not constantly suck up the water, causing roots to drown? Because how do you control how much water is needed for the medium if it just sits in the water and assumes it should suck it all up?
Yes, the flytrap rhizome or core should not be sitting constantly in water. Using tall pots and only a small amount of water in The reservoir assures that the media stays moist at all times, and the long flytrap roots that grow down will stay moist all the time, particularly in the hot summer months. It acts a little like an oil candle wick.. And the doormat. Of winter the media will stay moist for long periods of time, and the reservoir will not need very much water in it at all.
vfts like wet feet, just dont submerge the rhizome and give less water in winter or they will suffer root rot
Hey Brady, i am not familiar with the size or diameter of your currency being from Australia, would you be able to tell us the size of those coins you displayed next to the venus fly traps for comparative size. BTW i very much enjoyed your video thanks.
great information.. thanks for sharing
Thanks Brian, thanks for checking it out. ✌️✌️✌️
great vid, is it true we can give fly traps fish food (pellets) instead of bugs 🤷♂️
Yeah, you can put moistened fish pellets in the trap, but I have found that it tends to cause the trap to rot and die faster than normal. Also it can attract ants, mice and other unwanted pests to the trap.
@@Bradybrandwood thanks for commenting, Im keeping them on enclosed glass balcony of an apartment flat. Will they go long enough so I can pollinate them for seeds tho ?
@@kestane123chesmo yes I would think so, if your conditions are good. ✌️✌️✌️
ive been told you can feed baked beans to them, i dont want to try it since i dont think it would be good for it. what do you think of this?
I never would of guessed you had a cat..do you think one ove those plants would live in taxachuutet..mass
You should make a video about your cats!
I’m here in south Florida and I have multiple species of carnivores, I keep it damp using my pond as a basin plenty of sun but not too much. All my fly traps are a deep red with only a couple random stems being vibrant green. I have not put them through any cold. What could cause this and is it a bad thing?
Hi Biff,... some fly trap types have been crossbred to be more red overall, but also fly traps and some other carnivorous plants will tend to be more red when in continuous bright sunlight. How many years have you been keeping them in those conditions down there? Any issues with a need for a dormant period In the winter at all?
I am new to the VFT and this is my first year,I have my traps on the porch and It has caught 5 bugs so far ,all the traps are full at the moment lol.I am worried about this winter tho.I live in Southeast Kentucky,I thought about putting the traps in a cooler and just keeping them on the porch,is that ok to do?
A place that you can keep them between 32 and 50°F all winter, with no flooding, and no drying out would be great. This can even be in your fridge, or in a garage that doesn’t go below freezing all winter. I would definitely leave them outside in the open sun until the weather starts freezing at night. ✌️✌️✌️
@@Bradybrandwood Thanks so much.I am hoping to do good with these and get different species of this plant as I learn more about them.
Good information, just don't understand the goldfish in it. It will put food in the water (aquaponics), and that's not good. (or you need enough cats to eat them quickly)
Yeah, I’ve experimented with a few things, and did consider the little fish could add nutrients to the water. The biggest issue with that technique, though I found was raccoons were constantly tearing up the pots trying to get to the tiny fish. ✌️✌️✌️
I'm considering buying a Venus Flytrap, I saw some on Amazon that were small, and inside of a self sustaining bottle that's like a small bio-dome.
What about growing from seeds indoors using a strong grow light?
My seeds have sprouted under the grow light.
Any tips to grow indoors?
What time of the month should I dormant my venus flytraps if I live in Florida, hypothetically speaking?
I usually leave mine @ the window all-day. Should I shade it a bit with other plants or no?
I would make them dormant December through February, 3 months at around 40f.
@@fauxyeahjandy I think as long as the roots are staying moist full sun all day is fine.
@@Bradybrandwood thank you.
@@Bradybrandwood I'm scared to leave them on top of the water. I always have the sphagnum moss moist.

My man got the $uicideboy$ instrumentals in his botany tutorial 🔥 lol
Is it possible to keep venus flytraps indoors? The climate where I live (northern Great Plains) is not going to be conducive to good health for the plant due to extremes of temperature both in summer and in winter, constant drying, strong winds, and relatively low humidity. Our wintertime lows average in the upper 20's F, and summertime highs regularly exceed 100F. High winds and hail are common in the summer as storms move through, and it is rare not to have at least some wind (minimums of 7 to 12 mph). Our relative humidity is usually somewhere around 25% and 40%. Today, for example, it's 32%. It's a pretty typical winter day; sunny, 29 degrees, winds north-northwest at 9, at 07:53 am. Though it will start warming up in late February, we won't be clear from hard freezes until the end of May. When the hot and cold weather will begin or end is pretty much unpredictable. We've had hard freezes as early as September 11th (during my lifetime anyway), and first snow as early as September 30th. We have had years when the first hard freeze was in December, and where it didn't snow until February. Everyone was surprised that Kentucky and several other adjacent states had tornadoes in December. By comparison, though tornadoes are more rare in the winter months, we have had them in every month. Similarly, there is only one month when no snow has ever been recorded, and that's August. While snow has fallen in July only once, that's still once, and things can get cold briefly in any month here. It can also get surprisingly warm in the winter too. I have no clue how, with such crazy temperature swings, plants here know when to grow and went to go dormant, and in fact, sometimes they don't. There have been several times when we've had heavy wet snows when the leaves are still on the trees, and at those times you just listen with a breaking heart as the limbs of big, old trees break and crash to the ground.
Anyway, the question is, can venus flytraps be raised successfully indoors?
have you ever grown them from seeds ?
Yeah I have 2 good batches from seeds from the past 2 seasons,… 2 years old and 1 year old now.
@@Bradybrandwood how long did it take for the seeds to do something ?
My VFT seem to be able to catch mosquitoes.
You could have put a 2nd carnivorous plant in there with the fish, its called a bladder wart it sucks in small organisms like mosquito larvae or a filter it will not only clean the water so won't need to worry about fish poo build up so the fish and plants dont die it would move the water around preventing mosquitoes from landing Spawning and eventually congregate around the containers
Came for the lobster, stayed for the flytraps
Is it normal for 2 traps on your flytrap to go black ,cut them and cut the flower stem then the flytrap shrinks and the plant is still green
That’s very hard to say without seeing the plant and knowing more about the conditions. If it starts sprouting a new trap or two within the next week or two though that would be a good sign that everything is OK.
@@Bradybrandwood are you on Facebook
@@jamesstricklin1343 yes
I took a picture of this plant on my story
@@jamesstricklin1343 OK I just looked at it. I would flush that really good with distilled water, and put it in bright sun outside and hopefully it will sprout some new fly traps.
i got a venus flytrap from amazon and it only has 3 tiny traps. how do i get it to grow? im giving it everything that it needs
If it has bright sunlight, warmth, and is being kept moist with distilled water then just be patient. Fly traps are very slow growers.
How often do you water
came for leon stayed for everything
Awesome! Thank you for watching! ✌️✌️✌️🦞
Well done
Amazing
Could you do a video on replicating them? Not sure how it works with this and if it's something that can be done at home.
Yeah I’ll have a video up soon of some Flytraps grown here from seeds. ✌️✌️✌️
