When I bought my venus flytrap from Lowe's in its "death cube" I immediately repotted her assuming that the cube wasn't intended to be her permanent home. I've had her almost 2 years and she's even cloned herself.
This video is really helpful! I recently bought a Venus fly tap in a “death cube” surprisingly the moss was really moist
My venus flytrap traps arent closing at all. Is It dead?
Mine was a rescue,i mean it was deshydratated and hungry,i named him Venox.
Can I use orchid bark and peat moss for them?
Found one in my grocery store today and just had to save one! Thanks for the video!
I “rescued” my Vinny from the same death cube! I’m happy to say he’s still alive and about to go into dormancy but guess what? EVERY OTHER VFT at the same store died ??. I’m so angry they didn’t take better care of them!
You’re so good with your Venus fly trap. ??????
You know, the plant you rescued in your video did not need repotting. Your plant looked healthy enough all it needed was distilled watering and some sunlight. Repotting should be discouraged unless a flytrap is currently in the wrong media and/or before spring before the end of their dormancy. It takes longer for a flytrap to have its roots disturbed(during active growing)to fully recover rather than keeping it happy in its current container. Most of my larger flytraps grow happily in 4" pots and 3" pots planted individually. I use 6" pots if I plan to have more than 5 plants at once.
Happy growing
Wow, this Venus fly trap looks really healthy after being in the box for who knows how long ? I'm so glad you saved it. I love these and the pitcher plant varieties so much and it brings me back to my childhood when I had a bunch. I've been searching for more of the Venus fly traps and pitcher plants, but I haven't been able to find any around lately. I was wondering if you sold any of yours, I'd love to add a few varieties you have to my collection here In Central Florida ?
People like to criticize you for some reason huh ? I was picking up what you were laying down. And I agree about the pearlite look.
Any of these death cubes I’ve ever seen the plant looks dead. If the top of the plant is dead, is it possible to still save the root system? If so, can you do a video on how to do that?
There is something so satisfying and calming watching people de-pot plants and get the soil off roots
Did you say " bang these guys out"?? Do you know what that means?
I don't like the look of perlite on top either- why didn't I think of this?
Great video, as usual
Never seen one with such huge mouths
I took mine out of the cylinder it came in. It's thriving
This method is very similar to how I transplant my deep water culture cuttings into potting soil.
Is that substrate Pro Mix HP, or an amended mix?
What pH do VF traps's thrive in?
Subscribed! Thank you
Thank you for the informative video. I recently bought my first Venus Flycatcher. I follow the instructions but doesn’t look happy. It is rather small compared with your plant in video and I was not sure what to do to keep it healthy. Thanks for the tips.
I just now got the notification for this video ? YouTube is so slow these days anyways glad that flytrap is getting the care it deserves
awesome vid!
See, i don’t do a good job when It comes to caring about carnivorous plants. I’ve had several Venus fly traps right at my window, direct sunlight etc. and they all burned. I really gave up to be honest but recently saw a sarracenia Purpurea while I was shopping for my other plants. I have it for about three months now and it’s doing really good. I might get a Venus again, just to try, since I gained a bit more experience with plants recently. Thank you very much for this video!
Best 'death cube' VFT I have ever seen.
So helpful! We got our son his venus fly trap. I wanted to make sure we take proper care of him. Our son names his plant Greeny
I bought a couple venus fly traps in plastic tubes in a grocery store a couple years ago as an impulse purchase. But don't worry, I have a green thumb. I leave the pots outside in a shallow container, which I fill with reverse osmosis water. I keep the venus fly traps in full sun, on a small table in the middle of my garden. Tons of bugs, of course, so the venus fly traps are very good at feeding themselves. I live in zone six, so I take them inside during the winter, and leave them on the drafty windowsill in my plant room. This is a spare room in my house where I keep my houseplants in the winter (as well as my hamster year-round lol) away from artificial light, so as not to disrupt their circadian rhythms. If taken care of, a grocery store venus fly traps do very, very well.
I absolutely HATE those death cubes too! I feel so bad for the plants. 🙁 I’m also the exact same way about not liking the look of perlite on top! Lol ??
I have a bug biting planylts brand set and I have my little guys on a Styrofoam plate sitting in front of my kitchen window.
Im glad to know it wasnt my fault my traps died i want sundew garden
"Death Cube"
He sounds like a Karen
Rescue? Really?
Poor plant 🙁 I hope he's okay, also can we have an update?
Wonder what the plants thinking Durning this
death cube, that was funny but true. the thing I would also do is water it heavy for a couple of days to get any bad water residue out of it , unless you do what you did and removed all the soil and then you do not have to worry. I jest bought / rescued, two plants. the first one I watered heavy for two days then transplanted using the soil included, the second one , the moss is so heavy the water hardy runs thru it. that one needs a soil change. would also like to see a update video. I know my first one I rescued, is two times bigger, and it has only been two weeks
Love your video, I have a Venus fly plant and I always have a hard time keeping them alive, they go black.
Update?
Brad, thanks for the videos. Most of what you spoke I have learned from good books on the subject. What I haven't been able to learn is how to keep them alive in South Florida. Summers are way too hot for outdoors and how long do you suggest refrigerating for dormancy? It would be great if you could do a fourth video about that.
also what kind of soil is that and were can I get it for my carnivores plants
What store please because That is the best one i have ever seen come in one of that crappy plastic boxes and most of the ones i find ar dead
wide leaf lobes are an indicator for an ongoing lack of light and/or a soil too high in nutrients and lime (someone used tap water).
