  Those strips come with chlorine tests as well. Just have to get the right one. Also, ro water can be much lower than 12. I have some tips if anyone cares

• 
  @SarraceniaNorthwest3 күн бұрын

  Thank you for watching our video. You don't need to test for chlorine. These plants are not sensitive to it. We started our nursery in Portland city limits with chlorinated water. We used water straight from the tap without any filtration. Yes, RO water can be lower than 12, but that all depends on membranes, water pressure, and starting TDS level. At the time we produced this video in 2009, that was the best we could do given the equipment we had. Now, we can get our water down to 1 ppm. However, 12 ppm is perfectly fine to use, too! The key concept is that mineral levels should be low, preferably below 50 ppm.

  I wanted to know why my Venus fly trap won’t grow. I put my B-52 fly trap and my normal fly trap through winter dormancy. My B-52 is growing just fine but my other one, the normal fly trap isn’t growing. I cut the flower stock. I’ve been spraying them both with Maxi fertilizer once a month and my regular flytrap is just not growing. They’re in proper pots proper media they’re getting plenty of sunlight.

  I bought a bag of perfect plants carnivorous soil mix and put it in a big bowl with drainage and soaked it with distilled water and then tested the ppm with a tds meter that was confirmed to be accurate and it read 456ppm!!! I won’t be transplanting my Venus fly traps into that stuff until it’s been totally flushed out with rain or something. I was about to plant 180 dollars worth of VFTs in it! Glad I got that meter and tested it first!

• 
  @SarraceniaNorthwest8 күн бұрын

  Thanks for watching our video. We did another video about using a TDS meter to measure minerals in peat moss. The conclusion was that it's not at all accurate because the TDS meter is picking up the tannins in the peat. TDS stands for total dissolved solutes. So these meters record all dissolved solutes. They don't distinguish between good solutes (tannins) and not-so-good ones (minerals). So the bottom line is that TDS meter is good to detect minerals in water, not peat. To detect minerals in peat moss, you have to use chemical reagents specific for minerals. kzread.info/dash/bejne/om2VyNiCYLSxc7Q.html

  Isn't peat moss a non renewable resource? Can't we use coco coir?

• 
  @SarraceniaNorthwest8 күн бұрын

  Thank you for watching. By adding perlite to your peat moss, you increase the longevity of the growing media. We also experimented with coco coir with VFT, but these plants didn't grow well in them. Coir is not acidic enough and breaks down quickly, often within one growing season because of the heavy moisture and heat of outdoor growing. You can use dried sphagnum moss to substitute peat moss. But, our results with sphagnum moss was inconsistent. Some flytraps did fine. Others perished. Only peat moss provided consistent long-term results.

  @jpolowin010 күн бұрын

  I'm not surprised that the VFTs had trouble with the chunks of pseudomeat that you stuffed into them. They probably wouldn't do well if you stuffed them with the largest possible insects that could fit into their traps, either. Last year, I tried VFTs with tofu, whey protein, and textured vegetable protein. *Small* amounts, only a bit larger than the protein equivalents that I estimated from insects of a size that they could trap. The one on whey protein did okay, the one with textured vegetable protein did a bit better, and the one I gave tofu did amazingly well. It went from a small plant to a large one, and flowered. Now I'm waiting for its seeds to grow, so I can have a reasonable comparison based on multiple plants. I did find that traps would die if I gave them too much food, but I figured that as long as they got more nutrition out of a feeding than the resources they expended, and had lots of sunlight, they were coming out ahead.

• 
  @SarraceniaNorthwest11 күн бұрын

  Thank you for watching our video! Our recommendations are based on decades of experience and observations of how plants grow in the wild. A true sphagnum bog is void of trees because there the nutrient level in the soil is too low. Therefore, all plants in a sphagnum bog experience full sun. Our plants are a testament to the efficacy of our recommendations. If you're concerned that these plants can't withstand strong sunlight and heat, watch our video about growing these plants in a desert climate. kzread.info/dash/bejne/k6F9l62kZtm7pdY.html Share these videos with your local nursery!

  I bought all kinds of wonderful plants from you about 10 years ago and have cared for them as suggested, meaning only distilled water and rain water, never water from a hose. I am The Pond Liner Lady, therefore my business is liners and ponds and helping others find plants for their ponds. One of my customers suggested I put my "Pitcher" plants into my bio steam and ponds and guess what Jacob, they are loving it, so maybe they can grow in regular water. I just had to post this so other's could try it if they have bio pools and want filtering plants.

• 
  @SarraceniaNorthwest13 күн бұрын

  Thank you for watching and sharing your comments. Bio ponds are different creatures. The water is processed through the complex filtration system where plants and bacteria utilize the minerals in the water. It's like using water hyacinths in a fish pond to pull out excess nitrogen. So, it's not quite safe to say that carnivorous plants can grow in "regular water." It all depends on the mineral content at the end of the filtration process of the bio pond. A simple TDS meter can assess that for you, and we cover water quality in our video, "5 Common Mistakes to Avoid." Also, some municipalities are lucky enough to have relatively pure water. We started off in Portland, and we used water straight from the hose. It's just a matter of testing the water first to make sure the mineral levels are low enough for long term success. I wish we had the space for a bio pond. That would be my dream bog garden!

  The best way to think about growing plants is to select plants that are best suited for your climate and growing conditions. There are many tropical carnivorous plants, such as Nepenthes, that you can grow without any issues. For us, we have to invest a lot of money for heated greenhouses and such. If you still want to grow a Venus flytrap, then you'll have to accept the fact it will live as an annual rather than a perennial. So, investigate the plethora of carnivorous plants that will flourish in your tropical climate. You will be much happier with the results.
