Venus Flytrap Propagation Masterclass

An excellent overview and practical demonstration of how to propagate Venus Flytraps by Matze, owner of Green Jaws carnivorous nursery in Germany. With his decades of experience in growing these plants, his advice should be sound!

When i split and repot mine, they get shocked and their growth slows or stops for the year, and there's a chap who just drops them on the table, crazy!

[@davidarundel6187]

Try putting a few drops of "RESCUE REMEDY " in the initial first 2 sprays after repotting - it helps the plants recover faster & better .
It's also good for people from Conception to Grave , as well as skittish pets - it helps calm them down .
Good luck with your future repots , using RESCUE REMEDY ( it's got a 5 year + , shelf life .

I was asking my wife to be gentler with the plants while she was helping me with the black traps.. I'm getting conflicting information on how to deal with black traps and whether or not to clip them off? what do you do with the black traps that look to be dying?

[@obambagaming1467]

If a trap/leaf is completely dead, you can cut it off, but you dont necessarily have to.
If you're keeping them outside the whole year around and experience cold winters, and they get enough fresh air outside, then mold shouldn't be a problem.
But if you're keeping them inside over the winter (still requires cool temperatures), then it's better to cut them off, since the chance of mold is much higher.
It's especially problematic if they are kept indoors at cool temperatures, not enough air circulation and if the soil is too wet.

Wt the id name of this vft??

What are the soil ratios in % ?

[@camb6176]

He said 3 parts, so maybe 33% per part. We need clarification from Cape Carnivore.

[@oneeyedjack8806]

What kind of sand??

[@capecarnivores]

@@oneeyedjack8806 Silica sand/quartz sand, aka pool filter sand.

[@capecarnivores]

@@housecreeper I don't use any stones under the soil. Just carnivorous plant mix all the way through so it can effectively wick water :)

[@davidarundel6187]

If you must use sand , use river sand , it's coarser & allows water to flow thru easier .
