Used the code for the ten percent discount and then tipped them ten percent on my ping window sill and 6 plant bog kit I ordered lol
You might should have watered it in more after planting to make sure the soil was fully settled around all the roots.
These require full sun conditions and grow best sitting in a tray of water where the water level is no higher than halfway up the pot. Good luck growing more!
Speaking of appreciation, I, for one, appreciate you more than you know as well. I can never get enough knowledge on any subject I'm interested in
Thank you my friend, that means a lot. Comments like this are what motivate me to keep in going!
You are a really nice guy, caring and saving for these plants from certain death..and thanks for the tips!!
Haha, sometimes my bank account doesn't think I'm very nice... But, I just can't resist! Happy you were able to use some of the tips!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub right, they aren.t very cheap...but i think its a little bit addicting ...oh well..thanks and hope you.ll open your "nursery"
This was super informative! We just got some pitcher plants and this helped us so much!
Right on! They are incredible plants, I hope they grow big and strong! Good luck with your new bug eaters!
Just had my first Sarracenia plant delivered this morning and two Venus fly traps. The Sarracenia looks really healthy, unfortunately the fly traps look a bit worse for wear, but watching your videos will help me massively. Thanks for the vids man 🪴😎
Man, I hope they snap out of it! Good luck my friend, I hope they all take off and grow big and strong!
Just got one today. I had a brief idea of how to care for it due to its care similarity to a fly trap. Hopefully I can grow it well as my flytrap is thriving even though it’s on a window cill. It grows about 2-3 traps a week.
They are pretty close to venus flytraps! Check out this video I did of an actual Purpurea, it has some great care tips in it too! ua-cam.com/video/yJ9UuUjo6Mk/v-deo.html
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub checking it out right now!
Excited to get into this, my mom got me one of these for Christmas and this was exactly what I needed for now. I'll have to take a deeper look into the venus fly trap treatment. Possibly get a venus fly trap this spring!
I used a peat and perlite mix to repot a flytrap and some sarracenia. One thing that concerns me is that the water that drains through the media has a very high TDS reading (200-300). I use distilled water which is around 0-10 ppm. Is this normal? The peat I used is from a company called Dr.Soil and it's specifically for carnivorous allegedly.
Ya, you have to be careful of companies selling carnivorous plant soil. They rarely pre rinse. That high of TDS will slowly kill your plant. I'd flush the soil until its reading below 50. This is pretty normal for "Carnivorous Soil Mix". It's frustrating.
I think what is likely the biggest issue with these "death cubes" as you often call them is that these plants do need special care and particularly watering requirements. the death cubes are used to ship the plants so they don't dry out in shipment. that coupled with the fact that most of the care instructions given on the package are either too brief or misleading have led a lot of people to think this plants need that high humidity. coupled with the fact that they are usually sold with the tropical house plants leads many to believe they need to be kept warm all year.
I speak to this a lot in some of my new videos about venus flytraps. The cubes are primarily for safe shipping but people get confused and think the plant needs a terrarium type environment with high humidity. I've even seen death cubes with instructions that say to leave the plant in the cube and put it on a window sill. The combination of misleading instructions and how they are packaged is how death cubes formed their names.
This helped me so much!
Keep on doing more helpful vids and save more carnivorous plants
Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words! There will definitely be more videos coming!
Sarracenia are awesome!!!
They really are!
Just picked up a few SP plants and this is great information on how to care for it, thank you for taking the time to make it.
Of course! Glad I could help!
I always try to save plants, and animals! They (plants) come home with me when they are truly trying to survive and they have been mistreated.
Its so hard not to sometimes.
I plan to support the crap out of your channel we have the same dream!!
This means the world to me my friend! I hope you also are able to successfully pursue your dream!
Same here
Thank you so much I just bought one but it's in an extremely small pot but I'm scared that I will kill it by accident and I hope that it's going to grow bigger :)
Also most of the times they get in to a poor condition so I really needed this.
Hello! Thank you for the kind words. If you have a purpurea, I have done a more updated video with actual purpurea and not a hybrid. You can check it out here, ua-cam.com/video/yJ9UuUjo6Mk/v-deo.html lots of good care tips and repotting instructions!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub thank you I'll watch more cause i actually bought the 3 fly trap,sundew and the pitcher right now Im trying to find out why my sundew hybrid is not sticky?
Have you seen the plastic pots they sell at The Flytrap Store? They are by far the nicest plastic terracotta pots I’ve found so far.
The timing on this comment is actually pretty funny, I just purchased some that are really similar. Used them in my most recent video!
Do you have an update on how this media did for this Purperia? The peat and perlite mix?
Yes! I actually just repotted it again for the first time about a month ago. The plant is doing awesome! I put it right back in a peat, perlite and crushed glass mix. Looks like it's gonna explode this year!
Mine didn't even come with feeding instructions, they 100% were sold as a quick Christmas item and it's sad... and kind of random. I'm hoping to get mine back in shape. Glad I've had so much sun on them, but they definitely need to be repotted. I've got a bit of a root rot habit that I'm trying to avoid
I've definitely killed my share of plants with root rot. So, I completely get it. We grow, we kill, we learn, we grow more! Lol...
I grow these here in Singapore!
That is awesome! Greetings from Singapore!
I wish i could find purpurea here in Portugal for sale...there are other sarracenia for sale but not purpurea, they are so pretty,..
That's a bummer about not being able to find a purpurea, they really are cool plants! I got lucky finding one at Lowes, keep your eyes open, you just never know when one will pop up! (See what I did there?)
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub right, you are nice and funny, thanks, i.ll keep looking
Use water it’s easier......
Are you referring to the untangling of the roots and lfsm? If so, yes, thats a good callout. I should have dipped them in water to assist.
commenting for the algorithm!
You are the real MVP!
Just bought one at home depot. Should I repot it right away, even in fall. I heard it was best to wait until spring? I have had it for 3 weeks and is doing well. I know they go dormant in the winter. I am in the ca desert. I just brought a drosera capensis/octopus. Should I transplant also, or wait?
The best time to repot is definitely end of dormancy or beginning of growing season. I do try to repot mine from big box stores as soon as possible however. But, if they are doing well and don't show any signs of distress, I don't see why you can't just let them be until after dormancy.
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub Thank you for the information. Love your channel.
Hi today i was repotting my nepenthes plant,cause it looked like it was dying , and in the old medium it was in a found a worm...what does this mean?, thank you
I don't think it really means anything other than a worm being in your peat moss!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub thanks, i thought it was eating the roots
❤
i got a sarracenia purpurea from morrisons a few months ago and its tripled in size, my mum thinks it looks too big for its pot but im not sure. how can you tell if it needs a bigger pot?
Sarrs are commonly much bigger than their pot. If it seems like they need to be potted up, just wait until the end of dormancy when all the pitchers die back. This is the best time to repot. I'd probably leave it alone for the growing season.
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub thanks for the reply! :D
Of course!
Do you fill the pitchers with water? I heard it’s a bud debate
If they are dry I do add about 1/3 of the pitcher with distilled water. It helps the digestive enzymes get fired up when bugs get caught.
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub ok thanks! Mine came with no visible liquid. It’s pretty young. Should I be concerned or wait it out for a while then check again?
Hi liked and subbed I’ve a sarracerina I want to repot from peat to spaghnum and pearlite and a 6” deep pot it’s winter here do I wait till feb March or can I go now any help advise welcome 👍🏻💚
It's always best to wait until the end of dormancy. Probably Feb or March would be better.
I thought you were supposed to only put water in its tray underneath?
For regular watering, you should definitely keep the tray full. However, after repotting it's good to top water a few times to help the soil settle.
Thank you for the answer! Love the channel.@@CarnivorousPlantsHub
That’s Sarracenia Judith Hindle not purpurea sadly
Just so you know , that will cure small pox , which will be released upon the people. 1 small piece of root boiled in a cup of water , until recovered. Keep plants to help family.
I've definitely seen studies on this, so fascinating!
10 mins of this video was pulling off the moss. lol
Ya... Some of my older videos were a bit rough. It's a process. Lol. I feel like I've got better with my videos, but who knows, maybe I still suck... Lol.
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub haha nw and completely understandable.
im shy?
the pitchers r too small. they need to be 5 times the size.
I completely agree, although in this video it was still young. Even to this day, it's not much bigger. It's my only carnivorous plant that is not growing right now. It keeps sending up new growth but they don't get very big. I was going to use some Maxsea to see if I can get better growth but with dormancy coming up very quickly, I'll probably wait until spring.
They are babies!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub put them in the most brightest sun you can get they are supposed to turn purple
This poor baby it looks really bad and I bet if you hadn't saved it when you did it would be dead by now for sure
Ya. This plant has been a mystery. It's never really looked unhealthy but it also has never grown very large. I'm hoping after dormancy this spring it shoots up.
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub well I know mine had really huge and tall pitches in the spring but the late summer early fall ones here much shorter
This doesn't look like one
It's not. Definitely a hybrid. I think it might be Swaniania but not 100% sure. Haven't been able to make a positive match. I was going to post and update on this one soon as it's a lot bigger now.
You might should have watered it in more after planting to make sure the soil was fully settled around all the roots.
These require full sun conditions and grow best sitting in a tray of water where the water level is no higher than halfway up the pot. Good luck growing more!
Its sat in a tray of water and been in full sun ever since bringing it home. It's been a bit of a frustrating plant but I haven't given up hope. Its just now starting to shoot new pitchers up out of dormancy, but they are still tiny. We will see what this plant does this summer!
