Sorry to hear about all of the losses. I specialize mainly in succulents and while away on a trip to a funeral I came home to a pest infestation. I've lost about two so far that made a pretty good dent. Being broke does not help either. Best of luck!
Thank you! I appreciate your sympathy. Pests suck! I’m sorry you had to lose some of your plants too😞 why can’t the bugs go to the random trees instead of our precious plants, right?😅 have a good day!
Like number 70. Balance restored!
Now I understand how these plants attract insects. The smell. Didn't know they did that. Just got one of these for my husband. So im learning about them to inform him so he knows what to do when hes not working. He likes plants. Sorry to hear about all of the crazy weather over there. Prayers will go out for all of you.
Now one particular carnivorous plant I really want is one of those lantern plants. Very intriguing they are!
To help protect against the rain, use window screen. Make a big table with the top made out of window screen. You can even make a big window screen BOX to put them all in. The small holes on the screen will allow the water to come thru, yet it will help protect them also from the big drops.
Will also keep the birds out.
Glass against the rain? Did you heard about the rail stone?
@@vinipx01 He's talking about mesh bug blocking screen material.
That sucks man. I feel your pain, I was sowing some of my Akai Ryu flytrap seeds and sneezed sending them flying everywhere. I did manage to get some planted but not the 40 seeds I was hoping for
I’m sorry man.. that honestly sucks. At least you got some, better than none!

Rip the the red dragon trap
Need a mask
This actually saved my Venus Flytrap, I saw thag this thing had grown on my trap, and I was curious about what it was, so I looked up, and this saved my trap!
Their flowers are beautiful, not boring.
Thank you for this video. This is my first Venus fly plant that I haven't killed and it shot up a flower. I'm going to cut it tomorrow. 💚
Goodluck! And well done 😁
I would have loved to see the results of these cuttings to see if they lived and how they turned out.
I will be doing an update on all the plants after my move. Unfortunately these plants take so long to grow that if I were to wait for everything to happen to post in 1 video I would not post for up to 6-10 months at a time
I’ve tried dozens of times ind this has never worked for me. I have yet to see a video from anyone that shows successful results.
@@TheFlytrapGarden did u ever doba update on this? Curious if the offcuts took and how fast they grew. Would they be considered clones?
@@jc-kj2on hi, I did do an update but I don’t know which video it went into. I since moved countries, but I had about a 50% success rate. The ones in sohagnum moss didn’t do as well as the ones in peat. And they would be
Considered clones of the original plant they came from, yes
@@TheFlytrapGarden thanks 😊, i did find one video but wasn't sure if it was the update for them and it was after a unfortunate accident with some animals taking your plants for a ride. Hopefully everything is well, have a good wknd 👍
Thank you very much the video was very informative and the way you explained the whole biology stuff was really fun. I recently bought my dionea (or flytrap)and I had to question does the ph on the soil effects the growth of the plant or it's not a big issue?
I’m glad you enjoyed it! The soil the plant grow in is slightly acidic. This is achieved by the peat they grow in, as long as your water is neutral you have nothing to worry about.
My cat ate my first VFT. Lost 6 more due to evacuation during wildfires. Now there are 7 sitting outside in the sun in a dog crate. Besides cats we have dairy goats and sheep so all plants are safe. May get some rabbit cages too.
So glad I found your channel! As soon as I heard the south African accent I subbed 😂
I’m glad you enjoy the videos 😁 thank you
Even me. Gotta support :D
@@jean-lucroels635 thank you!
Lol same
I tried laying the cuttings down on their side and that worked well, but this approach seems good too. I wonder which approach leads to more baby VFTs?
Probably laying on the sides as you did. This will ensure that both cut ends are covered in soil and there’s a greater surface area of the flower on the soil. I actually should’ve done it this way! What I’ll do when I get home (if I remember) is to turn one pot sideways and experiment
You say a water tray, I first bought these plants in my early teens some 50 years ago, one a year for three years as they died. The last one I dug up to find the bulb had rotted, far too wet.
The following year and another plant I kept the water down and had it four years.
I got another this year after a failure last year, it did well then I found two maggots had eaten the bulb.
I've got a root showing at the base of the pot where it's quite moist and fairly dry on top of the peat.
It is flowering so I think I'll try propagating it the way you show, I had previously cut the flowers off that one I had for four years.
Good to see you back again, always enjoy your videos. Sorry to hear about your losses. Main thing is that you are OK.
Thank you! I appreciate your support. Hopefully things will start to relax a bit and I won’t be so busy 😁
I've been growing mine for years. I let it flower every year. It's huge and almost exclusively preys on wasps.
Like your channel,i have a venus flytrap for a week now.Thanks for your tips!
Thank you I’m glad you enjoy it 😁
Thank you for these flytrap tips! You just saved my Venus flytraps! I got two of those mutations growing out of my pots. I had no idea they would kill my other flytraps! I will cut them an plant them in a new flower pot just like you did. I have seeds I planted and they have not sprouted. You have any tips? And I just subscribed to your channel.
Yes I have a video on how to grow VFT from seeds :)
Maxsea fertilizer can be used to boost growth. It's natural nitrogen and phosphorus from algae and the like, but is still VERY potent and can be misted over propogation or plants monthly. I'd suggest looking up videos beforehand, but you can get a small amount (which will make GALLONS of fertilizer) for a few dollars.
@@johnchappell7137 thanks!😃
How long does it take after you plant it like you did do on the video to grow to the size from these two plants from you were cutting off?
Perhaps a year or 2
i just ordered my first venus fly trap and i cannot wait for it to arrive. i enjoyed your videos :D
Goodluck and thank you!
Is it still alive?
Yes @@gregw_729
Would one have better luck propagating from seed or flower cutting?
Thank you for making this video! I just noticed mine is starting its flower stalk (about 4cm tall right now). Is there a certain height the stalk should be before trying this? Also, is it worth having the plant grow it for all the energy it takes? Thanks again!!
4 cm should be ok and no its not worth letting it flower in my opinion
I got my 1st fly trap and I was wondering what the stalks were for. Mine has 2 small ones growing.
Good to see you again Brother. I really hate to here that you lost some plants after all the time and work you have put into them. Looking forward to the next video, until then take care!!!!!
Thanks Mychael! I appreciate it. Have a good one!
gorgeous and your fly trap looks good
Thank you my friend, keep going ❤❤❤
This will be a lot of good info for people
I hope so!
I would LOVE to own several Venus Fly Traps.
Im feel sorry for the sad information,and thankyou for the propagation information,very nice sir😊🌱
Thank you! And it’s a pleasure I hope it helps 😊
@@TheFlytrapGarden yes sir. Oh yeah are you the teacher who teaches student?
No I’m not a teacher 😂
@@TheFlytrapGarden oh sorry ahahha😂
Also, if you’re going to cut them, shouldn’t you do it sooner than later and how long should it be when you do cut?
Amazing I'm so trying this!!!, so once all is planted, should I put it in direct sunlight like the mother plant?
If my plant has started to produce a flower now, what should I do because winter is coming? I wanted to wait and cut the flower and try to propagate it. Is that a wise decision? Will it be able to grow through the winter?
Hi, why is flowers "really boring"? They are very beautiful
Compared to utricularia or orchids for example, they’re pretty plain. But everyone has their own opinion :)
@@TheFlytrapGarden So are you saying that vft flowers aren't as beautiful as utricularia
@@BukuiZhao Yes, that is what he said.
Please help❗️I got such a plant❗️ What kind of water should I pour on it❓️
Generally you won’t have to cut it unless you want to but just beware it will suck the life out of your plant
I’m a terrible person. I saw it budding weeks ago knowing I wasn’t supposed to let it do that... and just watched it happen out of pure curiosity 😂 Luckily it’s still healthy but I should probably cut it soon now that it’s flowered
If your VFT is healthy it doesn’t affect it too much as I explained in the video :)
You from South Africa bru? 🇿🇦 Aweee!! Thanks for the video!!
I’m so happy I found your video thank you x ❤️🎋🌵🌱❤
You had a really rough few weeks! Sorry to hear it!
Thank you! Are you Portuguese? If you are growing plants in Portugal please send me a message on instagram Facebook or email
@@TheFlytrapGarden haha unfortunately no, I'm American. But my name is Portuguese 😁
@@teixeir3 ahhh lucky! I am Portuguese too but want to go to America haha.
@@TheFlytrapGarden Yeah we could definitely use more experienced carnivorous growers like you!
Those VFTs *might* be the Paradisia cultivar. They’re widely distributed by the Paradisia nursery in Melbourne :)
I just propagated my Venus Fly Trap, and it is already growing a new flower stem that is about 2 inches long now. Is this supposed to happen since winter is coming soon? Will I need to give him some special treatment? Thankyou 😃.
They do that randomly sometimes, just cut it off. It won’t affect the plant :)
@@TheFlytrapGarden Thankyou 😃
Do you have a flytrap where the 2 traps turned black ,got cut plus the flower stem and the plant is green
I just bought one Sunday. It already caught bugs.
I'm here for knowledge on how to propagate them and sell them.
Goodluck and good growing :)
I would love one I want to try setting up a garden myself now that I’m stable I subbed and liked please don’t disreguard
Thank you!
Do you have to wait till they get a certain length before you do this?
very informative video dude, would like to ask you, i bought recently 3 venus fly trap , only like a year old very small, still one of them grow a flower stock like 2 cm and havent finished forming flowers should i cut it out ? thanks in advance from Cyprus!
Yes always cut it if it is a young plant. 😁
Just a question my plant grew 3 of these 4 incoming is that normal?
My Venus fly trap has already flowered. Can I still cut it and repot the flowers?
I’ve never cut them off and have let the stalks die off naturally. Never had a problem. The only thing I do is give water when there’s not enough rain and repot when it needs more space. Has more mouths than I can count.
I like the flowers. The plant has plenty of traps so I don't need more. Do you think I could cross cultivars?
Yes you can
I saw this too late 😭 I’m regrowing but thank you so much for this video
It’ll be ok! Goodluck :)
What do I do if they grow all over the place and each other I have 3 stocks. When I replace the Contaier they're in, do I put it them in a much larger one so they don't hang off the pot or do I just let them hang off the side?
Where can I find them to buy?
What is the biggest you can get ?
Where can I buy good carnivorous seeds I'm tired of getting scammed for fake venus fly trap seeds. Also where can I get a red dragon venus fly trap
Thank for your informative video. My neighbor gave me my first fly catcher plant about 4 months ago and it came on a plastic clear container. I did not know how to take care of it. I still have it in the same container and the plant does not look healthy with a flower stalk. It is now October too late to repot right? What do you recommend to do? Thank you for your help. I know because of your video that I should cut off the stalk right?
Hi. Yes cut the flower off. It’s best if you send me a picture of it on Facebook Instagram or email I can take a much better look and guide you better as to your next step.
Thanks bro you helped me a lot. 👌 I subscribed.
I’m glad it helped!
Your cat showing up was funny because i'm here trying to find information on how to save my fly trap flower. My cat has bitten it, and now its just hanging on a severe angle. I splinted it, but now its just sadly drooping .. think i might just cut it off now knowing this.
I heard you’re not supposed to use Pete, but Spagna moss and perlite
Actually technically it has no traps but specialized leaves that are used to trap, that way there is no confusion about flowers.
Well technically that's a trap
@@mil7854 And literally not technically they are leaves. Sure leaves that specialize in trapping but leaves none the less. My comment was made as a response to something said in the video not to disprove the function of the leaves.
A trap is a mechanical process it can be created by natural event or man-made trap is a term a word to describe something that has happened
@@mil7854 As stated im not here to argue the functionality of the leaves, but to dispel the notion that the leaves are flowers. Call the leaf a trap and still the people mistake it for a flower call it a leaf and they learn the anatomy of the plant while knowing its a trap due to the plants name. Most carnivorous plants have specialized leaves that function as traps, most are colored and can easily be mistaken for the plants flowers. They are however still just leaves.
@@pillsnpiegaming I never said there are flowers the plant actually produces a flower out of a long stem at the end of the year when it starts to go dormant naturally but if you keep it indoor then different story
What happens if my plant already flowered a little? Can I still cut it and save it?
Yes you can
@@TheFlytrapGarden thank you for responding
When you plant the venus flytrap seeds do put it on dirt or soil?
Sphagnum peat and perlite
@@TheFlytrapGarden Thanks
@@TheFlytrapGardenwhere do i buy that?
Mines got a big one and a small one, shall I cut them both?
Do you want to harvest the seeds?
Good to know.👍🏼
Hi, I put my leaf cuttings in a pot with plastic over it. Should it be in direct sun or shaded light? thx
Shaded at first
@@TheFlytrapGarden ok, thank you
Good to Be back
Good to see you back 🔥
handsome gardener ;)
Ammonia smelling flower is interesting... It's probably due to the digested and decayed flies
so I just picked up my VFT from home depot..I watched your reporting video so can I repot it tomorrow? also do I place him directly out in the sun tomorrow? and if so..for how long? This is my first VFT and I really want it to live. Thanks
Seeing as I only know that Home Depot is an American company (and I assume you are there then), and it’s winter there, then yes. This is the best time to re pot them. I will be doing a re potting video this week too. Use peat and perlite in a ratio of 1:1 (peat and perlite must have NO additives, do not use miracle gro). You can repot at your own convenience :) yes place it directly outside. Depending on your state. If it gets below 0 Celsius then a cold garage/room that stays unheated will work. As long as said room has a south facing windowsill the plant may sit on until the temperatures stay above 0 Celsius. Otherwise the plant will be happy outside. The plant must stay outdoors in the sun 24/7. I’m happy to help if you have more questions and I do have a few videos on their care too
Beautiful, thank you.
Happy to help :)
Superb!!!! Thanks for sharing the video!!!!!
No problem!
Bro love the vids. You sound South afiCAN.. You can and will. You gonna be fine
My plant is basically a garbage plant but I,m trying my best to take care of it
Soo where does the moss come in place 🤔
Can I use filtered water from my vinus fly trap? I made a mistake of transferring it into a pot that had different suculants and ordernary cheap potting mix. Will my Vinus fly trap still live? I'm from Australia NSW.. 🇦🇺 ☺
Distilled, rainwater or reverse osmosis water ONLY.
I accidentally shut my blinds on them😰 2 are injured. One seems ok but the other was a slightly torn stem and is completely bent over how do I fix this😢
They’ll be fine. They shouldn’t be grown inside though
a question, if for the plant to have seeds it needs to be politicized by insects, isn't it logical that it doesn't pay more attention to the plant than the traps?I think that if it leaves traps with the flowers, the insect will be devoured and will not pollinate.
There are many reasons this isn’t an issue, for one the pollinators and prey are different insect species. :)
@@TheFlytrapGarden unserstood, tks
Mine is in flower now 😮
You are super cute. 😍😍😍
Thanks for the video. 😊
I can't afford to lose any of them especially when just have one pot and I'm going to repot them, but does anyone do feed the traps occasionally
Only with live insects that can't eat their way out
Such interesting content !!!😍
Thank you
Where do you get that style of pot from??
Can I plant the flower stem in the same pot with the mother plant?
Yes
When cutting the stocks for propagation, do you not need to worry about root rot? Do the ends not need to callous over? or would it be okay to dab the ends in a root hormone?
Nope, there’s no roots, so nothing to worry about. Secondly, VFT need to be kept 24/7 like most carnivorous plants :) nope, as I did it is how you need to do it, so don’t worry about it callousing. You can dab the ends in rooting hormone if you wish. Make sure the hormone is safe for herbs
@@TheFlytrapGarden Fantastic!! Thank you so much!!
No problem
When would be the best time to cut the flowers? Mine only started producing a stalk a few days ago so its still very very small still, should I just cut it off now or should I wait until it hits a certain hight? I'm worried about how much energy its going to use as my plant is still rather small even if it is growing healthily
As soon as you see it
@@TheFlytrapGarden thank you! I've cut it off now so hopefully it'll be okay
Cutting it as soon as you see it is fine, but if you want to propagate it, then I think waiting until it gets to about the size where you can get 2-4 cuttings (like in this video) is also good, so you have more segments to try to grow. Since some VFTs only produce that one stalk each year, so you have that one chance that year to try it. Might as well get a few segments from it to give it more chances to strike and make new VFTs.
Can you cut them before they bud and can you propagate it?
Yes
So yes you can propagate Venus flytrap by stem cuttings, but I don’t know why people would do that, you can get seeds from it!
Generally it takes 3 or so years for a VFT to get to adult size from seeds, and you have to ensure that you do end up getting seeds. If you take flower cuttings, you could get 3 or so plants from a cutting and they'll be adult size within one season. It all depends :)
@@TheFlytrapGarden ohh ok Thanks😁
Sir are you using peat moss and perlite?,Thanks.
Yes :)
Is it too late if the white flower already came out for a few days?
No you can still cut it off
Is it too late for me to try this if the stalk has already flowered?
Not necessarily. If it’s just flowered it’ll be ok
Cut it off if you want to kill the flytrap.
Does the flower continue growing chopped up? Or does it just grow new leafs and traps?
It does open after being chopped and it starts growing new traps / leaves later on if it takes.
@@TheFlytrapGarden mine is just a stalk. There’s nothing on the end yet. If I repot that will it be ok?
@@tracybuford9243 so how it's doing now still just a stem?
@@guadalupecabrera1014 it died. I’m not sure why. I gave it distilled water. Put it in spagnum moss and gave it plenty of sun. 😒
Oh dang, mines came with flowers about to pop out and I already cut it. I hope it doesn't die🙃
What if, I don't want to cut it.
Is there a way to get the plant to live?
Your plant has to be healthy. If it’s healthy it will be ok if you leave the flowers
My plants flower every year (now they have 3 years from when I got them) and they are fine. I leave the flower to bloom and then I pollinate it. It is fun to make seeds and then germinate them. As long you give them that dormancy period your plants will be fine blooming and still live!
"make more whatever they are" sounds more ominous without context
I dont have silica sand in my area I looked up you can use beach sand instead of silica sand is that true ?
No definitely not. Look at pool filter sand, it needs to be silica (inert sand)
Hi does this work for all other types of venus fly trap or just this one?
All of them :)
Thank you guys for the help my sundew and b52 both have small stalk about 1 Inche n 3 Inches
Do you sell in the US? I’m definitely interested.
I sell within Australia only unfortunately 😢
Do flytrap grow multiple flowers? mine is in dormancy and I have cut one off but it looks like i got another 3-4 growing???
It can do that sometimes yes
One plant can send up several flowers but it's also possible that you have several plants in your pot. Each rosette of a VFT has only a few leaves so if you have many or several leaves that looks like it has many many leaves, then chances are you have a lot of individual plants in your pot.
if you cut the flower from Venus flytrap plant the flower stalk in peat moss and mantain moist
Sorry to hear about your bebes going bye bye that sucks but your video was really helpful for me I could figure out what my plan is for mine it’s one with a flower that I left cuz it is really healthy and it’s got a few separate rosettes so I assume it’s going into the baby making biz since it’s been fine so far I’ve had it only a few months and it has been chilling in the sun and a hefty amount of water so I’m doing something right I guess ...
How can I know when is the right time to cut the flower stocks?
Once they’re 1 inch or more
@@TheFlytrapGarden ok, thank you so much.
No point in cutting it now, its spent all that energy. Let it bloom and make seeds
