Joey I am so sorry you went through that with that chap, there are so many bad apples in the world. But do stay encouraged I'm sure in due time your business goals will be a success.
Sorry to hear about your bad news. Great that you have so many plants. Surely there are CP online groups in Oz, or on Facebook where you can sell your plants. Your colony pot looks great. I always enjoy your videos, interesting and informative. Take care.
Thank you! I appreciate your interest in my videos and I’m glad you like the pot 😁 there are a couple CP groups on Facebook that I have advertised on as well as marketplace but carnivorous plants are just such a small, unseen aspect of gardening that they don’t get much attention unfortunately, so not many people are interested in these amazing plants!
What did you do with the extra, repot or let it grow? I've got a very small baby, it seems like it's almost attached to the main plant. It was growing under the medium! Should I leave it when repotting?
@@genderdystopia019 yes, now a year later they have qll grown and clumped together to make a much bigger looking plant, you can seperate it if you want more.
I’m glad you think they’re to healthy, Phil! They just need some good sunlight. When I do an update video again I’ll show the capensis “alba”. These are the STICKIEST drosera I have ever seen in my life. I made sure to keep their seed from my old collection because it’s honestly very different
I just wanted to say “thank you” for the plethora of information! You’re videos are very insightful to a beginner like me. I respect the passion you have for what you do. I hope you don’t let the setback of being ripped off on your website deter you from what you’re trying to do. I truly think it will be a success. Do you ship to the United States? Well thanks again for your videos!
@@TheFlytrapGarden wow so I can just continue and end up with a huge sundew? I got mine in summer it was only a tiny clump now its bursting out of its pot like a big dewey wig.
Sorry to hear about the website scam. Some people really take advantage of the kindness of others. Hopefully you can find someone reputable online that will help you build your website (and have a portfolio/proof to back up that they are legitimate) Sounds like you should start a Patreon/youtube live Q and A to generate some money/tips to help with some of these costs! Don’t be discouraged. Keep going!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I hope I can find someone reliable too. I’ve been thinking about a Patreon but I don’t want people to think I’m only concerned about money.. if you understand what I mean? I’d rather have a big community first :)
@@TheFlytrapGarden I completely get what you mean...that being said, you are offering a wealth of knowledge on here (for free) :) In my opinion, I don’t think a mention of a patreon would come across that way. (To those that are true supporters of your content) Anyhow, thanks for all the informative videos...your channel is growing steadily!! Also, I would totally buy some capensis if the US wasn’t so far from Oz.
@@TheFlytrapGarden I suppose that is all up to you. I have seen content creators do something as simple as listing credits at the end of a video with the names of their Patreons, giving shout outs to them, or even giving early access to certain videos. This video here seems useful and the guy talks about rewards around the 5:20 mark while giving some good suggestions. th-cam.com/video/2ThPEtcbp9Y/w-d-xo.html Just a thought...I imagine the hardest part is taking the plunge. You’ll know when the time is right. Take care!
I have a drosera capensis on a south facing window, should I keep water in the tray at all times or should I let it go without water for a few days before adding water again? I've also encountered some soil mites in the tray every time I have water in it, what's the best way for me to get rid of the soil mites? The store I bought them from suggested I water the tray only once a week. Any tips are much appreciated.
if the mites are springtails, those can be a double edge sword as they will eat fungus that will rot your roots, but their poop is fertilizer and can kill with nutrients, otherwise figure out what they are
I herd you had problems with website.Use square space or go daddy or wix.Those website builders are easy to use.Also about the repoting.That day might come for me.As my drosera aldea are filling the bog pot to the point that the pot is just a bunch of leaves.
I did use godaddy ad first, but the guy made us change it to different platforms and now we don’t even have the domain or anything anymore.. adelae will keep sprouting everywhere if kept unchecked! It’s both good and bad haha.
@TheFlyTrapGarden You have a good heart homie. Sometimes people take advantage of the people with good hearts. But not to worry life is all a big learning experience. Good luck and hope all goes smoothly with your website. #DannyBrooklynNyc
my sundew is the first plant I bought myself, it came with sphagnum moss and seems to be doing fine in it, why do you add the sand to your growing medium?
Sand is used to prevent soil compaction which would strangle the roots and cause them to not get any air and eventually rot and kill the plant. Perlite is used as a substitute as it is cheaper and lighter.
Sorry for the bad news :'(. Hopefully you get an authentic web developer soon! If you need help with your website maybe some of your viewers might be of help too!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I hope someone may help me, but for now, seeing as I have no extra money available anymore, I’ll just start learning as much as I can when I have some free time and I’ll go from there :)
Could not germinate D. Capensis seeds been trying multiple times now. It was said that it was easy on books, forums, videos but not sure why they don't like the tropical weather here in the Philippines.
I love your content. If you still need some sort of website up I'd be happy to help, free of charge. Not sure what sort of site you are after, but feel free to contact me if you want some help. Thanks for all your videos, they have been super helpful for a new carnivorous plant owner like myself.
Oh no! That’s a bummer! Hope karma gets the guy! How come no one will buy them? Is it because it is plentiful in Australia? Perhaps join a houseplant community and market it as getting rid of pests like gnats, mites, etc? I’m vancouver Canada they are becoming a hot commodity.
Hope so too haha! I thought no one would buy the as the community is tiny, but alas, they’re all sold out!? I need to repot more. Wow! I’m so happy that they have new homes
@@TheFlytrapGarden yeah! I hate seeing plants go to waste too! Especially if people want them elsewhere. Plus helps you with hopefully trying to build a website again! I have no experience, but have seen people using www.wix.com for their website. Perhaps consider doing something simple for now? I know you have lots of grand plans, but start something simple and slowly start to expand your offerings! Better to have something than nothing! I started gardening this year and spent so much time planning it and worrying and my cousin's hubby just told me "just plant something already, will you" had he not commented, i may still be in the planning phase! LOL Good luck!
Yea definitely. I’m learning how Shopify works and I’ll be opening there and working it up slowly as you suggest Especially as I’m going to be the only one doing it haha. Hopefully it’ll work out! Goodluck on your plant growing 😁 it’s extremely rewarding
@@TheFlytrapGarden im not shure i havnt used it but i thing they list the features they have on thier site. I would look into it. i have never heard of shopify.
We have tons of plants!

It gets crazy in those pots 😂😅😅

@@luisstefan7160 thanks for responding! I decided to leave it until it gets bigger. I didn't feel comfortable detaching it 😂
We'll see what happens!
My D. capensis look pretty good, and flower often, but your plants look extra healthy: full of thick traps covered with dew. Nice!

Thank you, I’m happy to help. I do ship to the USA but not currently due to covid.
Never ever pay ahead of the work........you will get there by being slow and steady
Don't be upset bad people are everywhere
My Cape sundew is due for a repot in spring. Is it necessary to split them or can I just repot the whole sticky beast as a single entity?
You can choose either one :)
@@TheFlytrapGarden wow so I can just continue and end up with a huge sundew? I got mine in summer it was only a tiny clump now its bursting out of its pot like a big dewey wig.
Yep! It’ll be multiple plants in there but one big cluster of them 😁

I wouldn't mind having a couple of the sundews, but I live in the States and I'm sure they would be about dead by the time they got to me.
Yep! Especially with the slow postal at the moment... but thank you for your interest 😊
11:34 😍 wow i need these 👌🏼 I'll take 4 please :)
They’re great!! I have tons of them
What about fb market place and ebay?
FB marketplace I have done, but I forgot about EBay! Thanks!
If you were in the usa, I’d be very interested...looking for pings and sundew as orchid companion plants
Ahh! Too bad the postal system is completely broken at the moment 😂
Can i ask how long does it take for drosera capensis, natalensis and hercules to germinate?
Depending on freshness, 2 weeks to 4/6 months. The fresher, the sooner
@@TheFlytrapGarden any of your vids has some thats newly germinated? I want to see what i need to watch out for....
Check out some of my videos around June. They’re tiny green specks when germinated
