Caring for Carnivorous Plants - Plant One On Me - Ep 070

There's no denying plant people are utterly fascinated (if not flabbergasted) with plants that can consume invertebrates and vertebrates. Building on the last two episodes on carnivorous plants, which you can see at Episode 046: • Plant Carnivory & Nepe... and Episode 047: • Red Leaf Exotics Nepen... , this episode crosses the pond to the Netherlands, where I meet with Justin van Kessel of Carniflora, which is the largest exporter of carnivorous plants in the world.
We not only go through just a few of his varieties, but he also gives us a few pointers on carnivorous plant care.

    Note to any novice flytrap growers: Venus' flytraps actually expend a huge amount of energy whenever they close a trap, and closing more than a few traps at the same time is very hard on the plant. Not to say that Justin is inexperienced with flytraps, and I'm sure he knows what he is doing, but this means that you should try not to close traps unnecessarily, like putting your finger in them, and also that you should not purposefully feed multiple traps at the same time. Just one or two trap feedings at a time will keep your flytrap healthy and strong.

    I've had my VFT for 3 years now, and it just keeps on getting bigger and more beautiful :) Here is what I do Its on a south facing window sill year round. window is open as much as possible, and it gets as much sunlight/air as possible I overwinter it an unheated south facing conservatory. VFTs need dormancy to stay healthy. I have a friend in Florida who overwinters theirs in their fridge Rainwater only - I keep the soil damp but not dripping Feed it a couple of insects a month - usually moths Keep an eye out for blackened leaves and pick those off Make sure it doesnt have any mites etc (treat with neem oil) Othewwise, sit back and let it do its thing!

Oh and mine burned badly ones during summer getting full on south facing window sunshine, that's why i like to keep it behind another plant for a bit of shade when it is super hot and sunny here.

    Hey guys, for the Venus flytraps, make sure to put them somewhere cold during the winter, this is called dormancy where they can focus on their roots. It’s best to do this unless if your winters are harsh and the Venus flytrap will freeze completely, but I live in Virginia and mine do just fine during winters.

    Such a great video! I live in the US and I’ve had my King Henry Venus flytrap for about a year and half now, and it’s been really happy sitting in a cup of distilled water in front of a sunny window! When I was researching the plant, and later talking to the staff where I bought the flytrap, they didn’t recommend giving it tap water. I’m not sure if it had to do with the California tap water, or maybe just common things found in tap water across the US, but I just thought that I’d add to the carnivorous plant conversation here in the comments! :^)

    Hector Montecino Campagna you also have to think about how most plants produced for commercial sale are not going to be seed grown, they’ll be tissue culture. So every single plant that is tissue culture will have the same exact genes as it’s parent. This could be a problem as you’d be introducing a mass mono genetic population into the natural gene pool. Unfortunately it’s not as simple as re introduction.

If you only talk about plants in Dutch, to Dutch people in a Dutch context, and then suddenly have to speak English for an international audience, it can be awkward. I know some very knowledgeable people who seem quite dumb if they talk about their field of work in English, just because they can’t fully express themselves and translate their knowledge.

    Tracey Glimmer there are many different nepenthes species. Some make new pitchers quite easily others are really hard to grow indoors. The Nepenthes Bloody Mary is our easiest plant to keep indoors which I would recommend to anyone starting to grow Nepenthes. For the harder to grow varieties growth often can be improved by raising humidity. Placing a bowl with water under your Nepenthes may be sufficient. It may raise the humidity near the plant just enough.

    I have a Saracenia that didn't die back in the fall, nor over winter. It's now spouting a flower and toms of new growth. Wondering, though, if I should cut back the 5 remaining large pitchers, or leave them there to photosynthesis and provide energy to the plant. Thoughts?

    Yes, cut off the old pitchers - being careful to not damage the new growth. The exceptions are S. rosea, S. purpurea and their hybrids - as those tend to be very slow growing. Wait to cut off the previous years growth when it starts to die back in June or July.

    Vancouver Urban Gardener most insectivorous plant seeds can take a while to germinate, it’s not recommended for novice growers. For example with Sarracenia you’ll have to stratify for 3-4 months, then sow them and wait for another 4-5 weeks for them to actually start growing. And they’re very slow growers. You’ll also have to deal with mold and other things along the way. Once again not recommended for novice growers

    Ken Donsky Tap water was your issue, most residential tap water is above the ppm limit that insectivorous plants have and it will cause a build up of minerals and nutrients in the soil that will kill your plant. Uhm you got a sarracenia which catch larger prey.. it’s not gonna help at all with a gnat issue.. get a sundew or treat your gnat problem with a natural insecticide. For the love of god please do your research when investing in a plant and killing it a week later and being like “iDk HOw iT diED????? “

    @@TerryMcGearyScotland Don't you think that the overheating, even in a North facing window, might be an indication that present growing conditions are not correct? Also, the plants can overheat in a terrarium even when there is no top on it. North windows do not provide enough sunlight and East/West windows are marginal. Sundews tell you when they do not have enough water - the "dew" drops disappear. This only seems to occur when the growing media is getting too dry - I have never had it happen with low humidity. By growing them in a closed terrarium, you are depriving the plants of all the small flying bugs that they catch for food. I would highly suggest keeping those plants that are not in a terrarium/ jar in the South facing window. As usual, keep the plant pot in a shallow saucer of water. Then next year, after all the plants are growing well after coming out of dormancy - compare the two growing locations to see which plants do better.
