too late i just gave it a hot dog oops!

One time I left the house for the weekend. When I got back, all my plants had been feed by my flatmate with meat. Good thing it had not sealed yet. Hope my droseras and sarracenias will survive further

very nice video, informative and to the point. The scene with the rampant death of those crickets was a nice touch too. National Geographic!

Very helpful and she talks to tell u wat u have to do.

Thanks For this Video. I'm currently in Puerto Rico, where temperatures are around 25°C. I hope it goes well.

i love This video it's my favorite for the plant info

i could listen to the narrator's voice all day... so nice...

Great video thanks :)

thanks for the tips dude

This was the most helpful video

A very good video.

Nice job.

Thank you

very informative. am a rookie at this and i hope to grow this plant i bought today successfully

Awesome, this was very informative. I had one as a kid and was really interested in them, but I was really uneducated as to how to care for it then. Have been thinking about picking another one up in the near future :)

Hey u make me think of Collins key

2:42 Just a disclaimer, it says don't use tap or bottled water. In some cases, tap water may be fine as long as you tested it with the tds meter and it is less than 45 ppm (that is my recommendation, but dionaeas could actually tolerate much higher but that is my personal recommendation). You can also use any water that is purified such as purified water as that is what I am using, distilled or water that has been reverse osmosised.

im in the buffalo NY area and i use tap water as well but its water that has been sitting in container for at least two weeks before i start to even think of using it. unfortunately i dont know the TDS reading on my water but my plants are on the 3rd year so im guessing its OK ... maybe someday ill get one of them meters for the hell of it. but i do use rain water in between when its available to me

you can also uses distilled water or reverse osmosis water. You can also uses tap water if the ppm is below 50 and is not chlorinated by chloride fluid.

im growing them at the mo with seeds and mine are just coming thou the sole ive put clean film over my pot and taped it around the edge to keep it warm for it and keep it standing in rain water to

Done!

Does it have to go into dormancy, even if it is kept in bright warm light all year, or can it hurt the plant if it doesn't?

Temp doesn't matter. It's the changes of light and length of daytime. You'll know when it stops growing and some leaves will die off

Distilled water works great, same as rain water. but instead of watering them all the time I have found that you can build A terrarium for them and that will give off humidity and keep you from watering and misting all the time.

Many mixed opinions. Best way is standing water, only add more water 2 days after the water dries out completely. Don’t worry about the moss, it can stay moist for a very long period of time.

I get mixed messages from different videos. I water mine with distilled water about every few days, when the moss feels drying to the touch, with a large syringe into the moss with with the pot resting on gravel to drain. This works well for me , so far.

@Kenneth Reyes: Virtually every professional grower I know keeps them in standing water - including one grower who has studied many species in their native habitats around the world. Moist is not enough. These are swamp/bog plants; they evolved to survive in soggy conditions; they want to be in wet mud.

wat if u dont get alot of rain?i live in texas,it doesnt rain alot.......

you wont find that in the USA.... 50 ppm in tap water is unheard of. Normal tap water around here is at bout 220 ppm.

Water actually has to be below 100 ppm, not 50. Here, in Sofia, we get our water supply from the mountains that surround us, Vitosha. especially , the biggest high-altitude mire in Bulgaria. It's 20 ppm. I'm probably the only one who grows CPs here, and in fact the mire is only 10 minutes driving up by car, and there grow S. Purpurea, D. Anglica, D. Filiformis, D. Rotundifolia, P. Balcanica, P. Vulgaris, Darlingtonia Californica, U. Vulgaris, U. Minor, U. Australis.

0:29 Should be "Dionaea muscipula", not "Dionaea Muscipula". The genus is always capitalised, the species name is always lower case.

to tell you the truth. It rains more in the summer time than winter, and the reason is to keep us cooler also with the heat water from lake and river rise to the clouds and then after so much, they form rain, but just use distilled water in the bottle from the store, make sure it say distilled only

You can let it dry out for a day as long as the soil retains some moisture. That will kill the nymphs. The pots can be taken out of the tray so that you can wash them or you can simply pour a lot of rain water into the tray so that it flushes out the nymphs. I use water from my dehumidifier and overflow the trays to flush them out. Never had any problems with mosquito nymphs breeding in them because the water doesn't "stand" for more than a day.
