As an engineer obsessed with botany I could totally see myself doing something like this someday lol. Probably with rare tropical/subtropical conifers though instead of carnivorous plants, if only people would actually care about those like they do with Nepenthes.
This is basically my goal for gymnosperms. I've been teaching myself how to do the cultures and study the dna. My health took a turn and I had to leave my job and get away from screens. So I'm doing what I can to setup a small home lab. Baby steps but I'm loving the journey
@@alekkoomanoff7281 Ah, Wollemia, the plant that kind of got me really into conifers in the first place. Tried that one lol, got kind of crappy seeds though (seller couldn't even tell the difference between seeds and cone scales, IDK if any of them even had embryos) and couldn't get them to germinate (lack of cold stratification may have played a part too). TBH a lot of tropical/subtropical conifers have lots of issues with water molds, though Wollemia is definitely the most notorious there are others.
This place gets the Charles Darwin Award for "coolest plant nursery" ever! Darwin really loved carnivorous plant species! Just remember many of these plant species go from "threatened" to "critically endangered" in their NATIVE environments around the world so if you want to get a plant or two like them this is the nursery is where you can actually buy them from. Fascinating video! Thanks Joey and Drew!
when i’m having a bad day, you pop up sometimes, and it’s always so good. to watch someone geek out forever about something they love, talk to others that also love it, and share that love with the world… it’s refreshing. thank you.
I gotta admit I LOVE these dungeon deep dives into specific plant types. Such a deep dive into particular plants and the strategies to cultivating them is really cool
IMO this is one of the best videos Joey has done. The operation here is just fabulous, you can tell the owner is both passionate and extremely knowledgeable about what he does, and it's such a joy to watch the two guys talk shop about it for an hour. I'm seriously considering buying a plant or two from them just based on how cool all of this was, they've piqued my interest.
If you're near Raleigh, NC, the Juniper Level Botanical Gardens has a really great collect of carnivorous plants, including our own native venus fly trap!
I get home from at night of drinks with da boiz and I get served with a dessert of 1+ hour of wholesome fucking extremely interesting content to help me fall asleep and have nice dreams. Thankyou and lots of love from Melbourne Australia xoxo❤
god damn, I didnt realize drew was that of a genius. he's someone I inspire to be in life, I'll always continue to support someone like him and the knowledge and proficiency he brings to the field. remarkable guy
I live in Ontario Canada, Sarracenia purpurea is one of the plants that as a kid got me interested in plants (i wish at that time I had the capacity to look a little closer as these days I'll often find Drosera near by that I also find super cool) , I didn't even know it was a carnivore back then I just liked the colours and especially the flowers. Where I see it growing in its natural habitat it tends to grow right in the edge of the swampy area where it'll stay quite wet most of the season, and in winter it'll freeze pretty solid. I'd venture a guess they will probably do just fine without any protection from the freezing even in pots. Cool video, and what an awesome place that is, its cool to see how passionate he is about all these carnivores.
Ayy I was just working through your taxonomy class video and you showed the convergent evolution of carnivorous plants in that... Cool to see this pop up at the same time!
Amazing. In Edinburgh at the RBGE they have the most amazing collection of Pitcher plants. They're in a Tropical glasshouse. This is just phenomenal. I hope who ever buys these plants look after them. It's such dedication and commitment. ❤
This was one of the coolest videos ever on this channel. Not that there isn't tons of other great ones too. I just really liked this guy's passion for growing these plants and I never even knew they could be grown! Let alone so many species! And he taught himself all of this. That's really amazing too how he has the right climates dialed in and the way he's culturing clones is fascinating. Yeah, I can listen to these guys talk about these plants for hours! Great video.
Used to focus on orchids before covid, had a huge collection. I lost the entirety of them during the pandemic... Finally done mourning, with renewed interest in carnivores and natives. I've got about 30 nepenthes from them now. Didn't realize how much I had in common with this guy! Work in software for money, I also hacked the mini split in my plant room to pull the temperature down for masdevallia. Now, it'll chill out my Neps 😉
I've got a Sarracenia x "yellow jacket" literally just in a small little basin in a rock with some peat moss and that thing is a *BEAST.* Lives up to its name and absolutely eviscerates yellow jackets, mosquitos, even slugs. We literally never have had a wasp or mosquito problem since planting that thing. Weirdly doesn't get all that many flies but we don't have a fly problem really. Its shockingly drought tolerant (at least for a carnivorous plant, its survived drying out for upwards of a week which is nuts, apparently S. flava is by far the most drought tolerant and its got some flava in it), wind tolerant, even tolerant of some freak temperature extremes. The thing is borderline indestructible and does its job fantastically. Definitely worth growing some of the sturdier carnivorous plants to deal with bug problems. Haven't had as good of luck with other carnivorous plants, have managed to hold on to some Dionaea for a few years, Drosera have had some issues with freezes and ironically aphids, and a S. rosea had issues dealing with freezes. S. psittacina has weirdly done quite alright. I've considered also trying to grow tuberous Drosera around some fruit trees to deal with codling moths as the dry season dormancy seems really convenient to not have to turn the surrounding area into a damn swamp (plus the climatic match between southern Australia and the PNW is surprisingly close), but never committed and figured that fertilizing around the trees would do them in anyways. Either way, carnivorous plants are a fantastic biological solution to bug problems (and are neat as fuck). Just go with a nice hardy Sarracenia (preferably with some flava hybridization) if you want a truly indestructible one.
Ahhh fk yeah! This melted my face off. When you initially walked inside, I was blown away by what I saw. Thanks, so much for this gem of a place. I live on the southern Oregon border, & we have some nice Darlingtonia communities, in the Kalmiopsis wilderness. Thanks again, Joey & cheers, you da man.
absolutely fantastic video. I almost cried when you went into the tissue culture room. Everything about this place is so dialed in and it's beautiful to see the process and passion.
Great video today!! I'm a fan from way back, and I've seen you introduce us to carnivore plants in the wild. Thanks for bringing Drew on your show, and I'm hoping to make my Houston abode a happy place for a special plant from Carniviero!
Holy crap, I learned so much from this video. Also went and bought three pitcher plants from Carnivero, blew my families minds! Thank you for the great video!
Ahhh I immediately knew this had to be carnivero!! If you ever plan to do guided plant walks around the central texas/south texas region I would happily pay money to attend!
Wow, what an interesting nursery! I checked out their web site, but am still curious about how they feel the plants, and how they are shipped. They certainly have an incredible investory. Thanks for sharing that.
Love this!! I have 2 sarracenia that I grow in pots for 4 years. I love that they eat flies and mosquitoes! FYI - the BT dunks don’t kill all bugs. The specifically target mosquito larvae and fungus gnats. BT is safe for all other bugs, people and pets. Adding a BT dunk to water barrels each season helps stop mosquitoes from using that water as a breeding ground.
What a SUPERB video! Love these guys and their gorgeous setup, not to mention the plants. Oi, you even quoted my favourite article on the plant keeping hobby in this video! When a Housseplant Obsession Becomes a Nightmare is phenomenal!
Awesome video man, love carnivorous plants. Im working for the Orono bog in central Maine this summer, tons of purple pitcher plants starting to bloom and round leaf sundew coming up as well. Such a fascinating ecosystem that they grow in, highly recommend checking it out if you ever find yourself up there. Super impressed with this nursery set-up, can really see the passion from everyone involved. Thanks again for sharing
Hey man, big cheers from Czechia and I should thank you for these long-ass crazy deep-dive videos - not only they are super fun to watch and the people you visit are borderline wizards, you also got my husband finally hooked on plants. He’s been living in a flat that’s basically a greenhouse for a long time but he only understood the beauty of it thanks to these awesome deep-dives of yours. Now I can grow whatever the fuck I want while he eagerly helps with the logistics and tech side of all that. Love the content and thank you!
You need to visit the Cranberry Glades in West Virginia. It's an isolate bog in the mountains that has carnivorous plants. You'd also love Beartown State Park that's nearby, quite the geology masterpiece.
Wow Drew is a brilliant obsessive botanist - awesome collection - and a kindred spirit to Joey. N.bicalcarata is sooooo strange! Glad to be a supporter of da channel. Get thee to Borneo before they be disappeared.
Joey Thank you for this video, I appreciate these longer videos than the 20-30 min videos. Can you try to make a video just like this but about different cactus species? Anyway great video joey!
Dr. Rebecca Hale at the University of North Carolina at Asheville does some incredible work with native WNC pitcher plants (including the purple pitcher). She could be an awesome connection for learning more about east coast carnivorous plants!

Carnivero is legit, amazing to see their nursery like this bro
Dude keeps opening another door to another dimension. That place is bananas 😮
Three videos in three days? Two of them over a half hour long? Hot dog!
🌭
"Man these are primo seats! I could really go for a hotdog!"

Sounds like you have a niche to carve out!

Try working with Wollemia nobilis Australian reluctant conifer. Very susceptible to water molds.

every plant has a strategy to give you the chance to love everything about it
Beautifully said
awwwh man. this guy’s enthusiasm is so pure! thanks for the s-tier carnivore content
when i’m having a bad day, you pop up sometimes, and it’s always so good.
to watch someone geek out forever about something they love, talk to others that also love it, and share that love with the world… it’s refreshing. thank you.
Never let bad days wear you down.😊
gotta agree..
passion is contagious! hope you have a good weekend!

You find the coolest people Joey, I was sorry when this ended. What an operation!
Damn I'm 55 minutes into this, and it feels like it just started! This is awesome, and I'm so glad it's over an hr long!
Mōrena from NZ! I'm learning Landscaping and Horticulture and this is my favourite channel! I learn so much and the absence of bullshit is amazing!!!
E aroha ana ahau ki a Aotearoa! XXX from NL😛
Mind blowing! Thank you for providing Drew a platform to talk about his work!
If you're near Raleigh, NC, the Juniper Level Botanical Gardens has a really great collect of carnivorous plants, including our own native venus fly trap!
I am near Raleigh! I'll check it out. Do they also sell some? I love that NC has venus fly traps naturally near carolina beach.
I love the facility, tremendous work, I hope hes in business forever going down the rabbit hole
I live in Austin and decided I want to add a carniverous plant to my terrarium today, then you post this! Thank you sir, you're a legend ❤️
I get home from at night of drinks with da boiz and I get served with a dessert of 1+ hour of wholesome fucking extremely interesting content to help me fall asleep and have nice dreams.

Hell yes I love me some carnivorous plants 😍

This guy is awesome, and that nursery is amazing.
That tissue culture setup is amazing. Love what these guys are doing.
I have two plants from this place they are great
You two dudes shoulda BEEN knowing each other 😄 Had me smiling the whole time.
Unreal. I feel like I know nothing about nothing.

Incredible, I expected to skim through this. Now I'm convincing my wife we need these beautiful, living pest control solutions. Thanks for the tour
Ayy I was just working through your taxonomy class video and you showed the convergent evolution of carnivorous plants in that... Cool to see this pop up at the same time!
You’ve blown my mind yet again. And good for that former Google engineer for escaping.
Amazing. In Edinburgh at the RBGE they have the most amazing collection of Pitcher plants. They're in a Tropical glasshouse. This is just phenomenal. I hope who ever buys these plants look after them. It's such dedication and commitment. ❤
They also have a most excellent collection of section Vireya Rhododendrons .Their botanist were pioneers in working with them.
Drew's excitement and knowledge is inspiring. This really made me want some carnivorous plants haha

WOW!! What fun!! I love this guys enthusiasm and passion for what he is doing. The 2 of you like walking encyclopedias. THANK YOU
Most comprehensive introduction ever. Thank you so much.
Psychedelic carnivores 59:04 - Great video Joey and Drew! Amazing collection.
Used to focus on orchids before covid, had a huge collection. I lost the entirety of them during the pandemic... Finally done mourning, with renewed interest in carnivores and natives. I've got about 30 nepenthes from them now.

I spoke with drew at a plant convention. Super nice and awesome guy.
This is so freaking sick! I will have to make the drive up from San Antonio.

Russel.Alan now this dude..amazing friends,,great video.
I could have been listened you two talk about plants for hours, your passion and knowledge is incredibile and I've learned a lot of stuff, thanks!
One hour and eighteen minutes of, wow. Thank you everyone involved.
What an absolute treasure of a person, this and the landscape video are bangers, easily the 2 best videos I've watched all year.
Wow those are some beautiful specimens. Impressive hybrids
This is such a complex operation! It’s amazing how he has so much knowledge and manages everything
Ahhh fk yeah! This melted my face off. When you initially walked inside, I was blown away by what I saw. Thanks, so much for this gem of a place. I live on the southern Oregon border, & we have some nice Darlingtonia communities, in the Kalmiopsis wilderness. Thanks again, Joey & cheers, you da man.
Thank you for not keeping this behind a pay wall! The last podcast appearance you and Al made was great as well.
LOVE CPs! Been growing some for over 20 years. VFTs, sarracenia, Sundews, utrics, neps. FUN plants!
Carnivero makes awesome Nepenthes hybrids! Being able to see the nursery like this is *chefs kiss* 😗👌
The Crime pays but botany doesn't and Carnivero crossover?!?! This is the best version of the simulation
amazing, I have a sundew and use a foliar feed on it v occasionally. Seems top be enough to keep it happy
Inspirational to meet these brilliant people doing good things for plants.
Watched this when it dropped on patreon, but had to watch it again. SO COOL.
Saracennia and Pings are my favorite carnivores!
One of the best ever. Impressive operation.
absolutely fantastic video. I almost cried when you went into the tissue culture room. Everything about this place is so dialed in and it's beautiful to see the process and passion.
Would love to see a Great Lakes exploration of carnivorous plants of the bogs, marl fens, and random roadside ditches. Isle Royal as a bonus video!
I’m in Canada and I just started a small bog garden with some purple pitcher plants. Crazy some of these even make it through the winter.
What a genius. Thanks so much for sharing. One of your BEST!
Great video today!! I'm a fan from way back, and I've seen you introduce us to carnivore plants in the wild. Thanks for bringing Drew on your show, and I'm hoping to make my Houston abode a happy place for a special plant from Carniviero!
awesome to see their TC operation. seems like a cool crew, owner dude is on another level. glad he left his $$$ job to follow his other passions
I love the questions you ask. They allow for people's passion to come through. Awesome video!
That was so friggin cool, I ordered me a beginners pack, when my grandsons visit I well send them home with the future Audrey!
I’ve gotten lots of nepenthes from them before. They’re great
This is some of the greatest things you’ve brought for us
That was sick! Going to watch again and order some plants. Thank you for this video
Holy crap, I learned so much from this video. Also went and bought three pitcher plants from Carnivero, blew my families minds! Thank you for the great video!
What an amazing nursery. I am stunned at the science blended with real love for all these species. ❤
Ahhh I immediately knew this had to be carnivero!! If you ever plan to do guided plant walks around the central texas/south texas region I would happily pay money to attend!
Wow, what an interesting nursery! I checked out their web site, but am still curious about how they feel the plants, and how they are shipped. They certainly have an incredible investory. Thanks for sharing that.
Absolutely awesome truly educational experience thanks again brother ❤❤ best wishes from Scotland 🏴
Dang Joey! I just got my third plant from them and NOW I see you there?! Awesome!!!
🤘🤘
Love this!! I have 2 sarracenia that I grow in pots for 4 years. I love that they eat flies and mosquitoes! FYI - the BT dunks don’t kill all bugs.

the older i get the more i love learning about plants
Cool tour! Very knowledgeable and passionate people.
Thats intense. Absolutely loved every minute of this.
Oh wow, that hoya tanggamus is fantastic. So tempting, even at that price.
I LOVE carnivorous plants! Been a fan since I was a kid.
This is one of those banger videos I just know I'm gonna come back and watch 3 times, I just learned so much!
What a SUPERB video! Love these guys and their gorgeous setup, not to mention the plants.
Oi, you even quoted my favourite article on the plant keeping hobby in this video! When a Housseplant Obsession Becomes a Nightmare is phenomenal!
Feel a lot more humble now. Thanks for some wonderous stuff you guys!
I loved this vid. Watched a whole bunch of times now. Carnivorous plants are so friggin' amazing. Blows my mind.
Awesome video man, love carnivorous plants. Im working for the Orono bog in central Maine this summer, tons of purple pitcher plants starting to bloom and round leaf sundew coming up as well.

I wish I could like this video multuple times. This is incredible stuff. Passion and Compassion in equal pleasure. A pair of botanical legends! ❤
Absolutely superb work
Appreciate the video
Will have to download it
No resisting that
Joey Thank you for this video, I appreciate these longer videos than the 20-30 min videos.
Can you try to make a video just like this but about different cactus species?
Anyway great video joey!
Good one! So cool to see the nursery. I've ordered a few plants from him, they are always so healthy.
I love this man! I can’t wait to go to his nursery.
I've always kept carnivorous plants but struggled with monkey cups. This shit is gold. Thanks for posting!
Love to see a sweet lab. Would love a follow-up discussing disinfectants, sterilizers, etc. Thanks for awesome upload!
What an incredibly awesome nursery HOLY crapola
I would drop my whole life right now to go live there.
Insane operation!
Incredible. Thanks for sharin, Tone
