    Southwest Mississippi here. My plants stay outside in bog gardens all year long. They have done well for several years.

    48708 MI here. I have a large bird cage to keep the squirrels out. It also works to support shade cloth when needed.

      I’ve heard from so many people, all over the country, that the squirrels have been so terrible this year! Little trouble makers!

    Great tips & info.
    A minor request: put the temperatures in Celsius on the video as well; saves time googling the conversion :D

    Here in Central Texas, it gets over 100 almost every day, from June through August. I have a swamp cooler for the greenhouse, which helps a lot.

    I live right by Bakersfield and we’re supposed to get 105 today and 106 tomorrow, so this morning I’m going to get a shade cloth setup for the next few days.

    Got an excessive heat warning going into effect tomorrow; here we head into summer! Everything is very well watered and has been doing just fine in the upper 90s, so let’s see how they do in the triple digits! They did very well last summer so here we go again haha

    Are 3D printed pots safe for Venus flytraps? I have a couple I wanted to use next year when/if I split the Admiral (Admiral Ackbar - “it’s a trap!” - At least I crack myself up!)

      Yes! It should be safe to use!

      @LucasWills 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Make sure you watch the temperature, PLA and some other filaments get soft if left in the sun for too long!! I learned this the hard way, 3D printed parts will totally melt if you're not careful. Of course, some filaments will handle higher temperatures.

    my flytrap - sundew alicei lost its dew becouse of heat! i dont know when it will come back?! i put now more water and it become less hot. i hope dew comes back as leaves keeps growing.

    • @California_Carnivores
      @California_Carnivores  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It can take a few days up to a week or two to regenerate dew after they lose it, just give it a little time!

      Nurseries use Reverse Osmosis systems to provide enough pure water for their stock of carnivorous plants.

      We have a very powerful reverse osmosis unit and our water also is very pure at our location!

    Dude I live in Southern California a put my plants in a grow tent outside, but the problem is, is that they keep burning. I don’t have a good place for sunlight though I do have a grow light but it is almost broken what do I do.

      The problem, from what I understand, is that in a tent or greenhouse there might not be sufficient airflow to help regulate the temperature, so yes, you will most probably end up killing your plants due to excessive heat. If you don't have enough sun, min 4 to 5 hours per day for certain carnivorous species, you will have to resort to alternative mediums like growlights. Obviously then you will have to get yourself a proper light, that works, and make sure the water setup is also adequate. Otherwise you will just end up losing your plants eventually. Good luck!

      @@smileyfog So true. Grow tents can be a task to control the environment especially if the sun hits it. Same with a greenhouse. Airflow is critical and humidity directly affects temperature.
