I live in Ireland where we get sun for 7 days a year, can I use a full spectrum fake-sun lamp for plants? I am trying to grow VFPs and Sundews they havent germinated yet.. I must have been like 10-15 days...

Every website says it doesn't ship to my location and every store hasn't even heard of it. So I use coco coir I rinsed out for 3 days straight mixed with perlite. Would that be enough for seeds?

Hi! I'm from Hungary. Here is still kinda winter, often minus 2 celsius, cold. Often even at day only +5 celsius degrees. Spring is not here yet. So i don't think i can get them outside! So can i first grow them inside at a very light place and then when it's getting warm put 'em outside...? THX for answer.
You can keep them outside, next to the adult plants in full sunlight. If you are worried about rain, just keep them under cover until the rain has passed or keep them under cover until you see the first seed germinate. Then straight outside from under cover.
As you get more comfortable with growing the plants, you can let the water table get almost empty which kills anything in there and the plants enjoy It more
I bought some seeds, but they don't quite look like your picture... They're brown, and kinda shriveled up... any idea if its cause they're too old or something?
Hi, I don't mean to be facetious, but can you grow VFT's outside just anywhere? I live in the desert of Southern California, we routinely get temperatures above 100 degrees here and it's very VERY dry (average humidity is 30% year round). In my climate, would I bet better off growing them in a greenhouse to maintain humidity in the air?
Yes they should always be grown outside when possible. Many people from AZ grow their VFT outside under shade cloth. Humidity isn’t a major aspect of their growth, give them good light and water and they’ll be happy. I’ve grown mine in 42 C days here in Aus with
It's clear you emphasize putting the plant in direct sunlight. Does this still apply in countries near the equator? I'm worried about the seeds/seedlings/plants getting cooked.
@@TheFlytrapGarden Thanks! I just sowed 10 seeds in a sphagnum moss pot. I read somewhere that it should be kept in a covered container or ziplock bag to increase humidity. Do you recommend this?
What is the correct theory here when it comes to water. Some people say the tray should dry up inbetween each water sesion ... some say the tray should always be full of water and never dry up? Which is the correct way here?
Soil must always be moist. I answered your question in a previous one of your comments. More water in summer, less in winter. It’s a more “advanced” technique to let the pot dry out slightly between watering in winter. As long as the soil stays moist, you should be ok. Better to just give them access to water all the time
I also agree with the "moist" idea. The tray doesn't always have to be filled with water, it doesn't always have to be filled to the usual line full of water, but the soil should be moist. If you have moist soil, then the water in the tray can be lower or higher, can be present or not, as long as the soil is moist. And based on time of year, like summer or winter, you may need more or less water. This is up to you to discover for your growing area.
@@NickyandEmmi The contradictions are usually small ones, except for here saying there is no need for stratification. That part is definitely iffy but at the same time, if it worked that way for one person but another person needed stratification, that's where you'll need to make take all the info in and do what works for you. the thing to remember also is that some people will plant 10s or 100s of seeds at a time, so the idea that some germinate and others didn't, will make it seem as if choosing Method A or Method B, works just fine, since we do expect a certain amount of seeds to not germinate as well, making it seems as if the method is fine when we do see some germination. It's when you buy those growing kits with 3-5 seeds and nothing ever germinates, that you wonder, if the instructions given were correct.
wait, wait, wait. back up ... what venus fly trap do you have that don't need a dormancy period? they all need a sleep period. I was told by someone that did experiments with them that without a dormant period they will die after a few years ... explain this pls (or have a video on this topic) ... keep up the good work, the world needs more venus flytraps and videos ... Tip: instead of using long fibre moss to line bottom of the pot you can also use black landscape fabric to keep everything in just wash and soak fabric before you actually put it in a pot to help water pass thru freely ...

Dear Reader, Of course you can stay at home for the rest of your life, but what do you do when you want to travel or go on vacation, and stay away for a few weeks? You fill your trays full of water, go away, the water evaporates within a week. You come back, and all the plants are dead. Does anyone has a solution? Michel F. van den Brun a viewer
What you do is take a small bit of soaked sphagnum moss with seed in the middle and drop it into one of the fly traps mouths. Make sure to trigger the mouth to close. After a week or so the mouth will reopen with a seedling growing out of it.
Thank you so much. I actually watched 2 very boring videos before I found this one which was very informative.
I’m glad you found it helpful thank you very much for your kind words, that’s very nice of you ☺️

You are too kind! Thank you 😁
“Here’s where you need your goddess blood…I’m joking guys please don’t kill anyone” hahaha love it
Hi, my collected rain water dts is 40-50 , should I use them on my VFT plants and seeds ?
"I'll be back"

First comment.Usally I would just wait for devitions, but this seems simple.
Yep! Very simple. Divisions give you identical clones, necessary for cultivars. But if you just want babies, you can use seeds like this. Goodluck!😁

That should be good, yes. Just use a TDS meter and test the run off often to ensure it doesn’t get too high

i have a strong UV light will they grow under this?
They need a full spectrum so I don’t think so
HAI I’m sorry I missed so many videos D: :(
Haha no problem welcome back
So there’s a link for everything under the sun except where to get good seed?
Good day, so where do I put seeds during germination period? bright shaded area? Thanks in advance.
You can keep them outside, next to the adult plants in full sunlight. If you are worried about rain, just keep them under cover until the rain has passed or keep them under cover until you see the first seed germinate. Then straight outside from under cover.
is distilled water ok because when I was growing a few years back, I was using PH up and PH down to adjust the PH to 3.5
Yes it is, I have some gallons on hand if I run out of rain water :)
Hi, may I ask where to buy the seed? Because bought online but its fake seed. Its not Venus Fly trap
Private growers or carnivorous plant nurseries in your country :)
My flytraps have flower stalks and I'm trying to get seeds this year.
Goodluck! You’ll get them
Hi, dont they also need a stratification or high humidity? How are the seeds you sow doing now a mounth later have they germinated yet
Hi Luis. Nope, not for VFT. They have started germinating this past weekend 😁
@@TheFlytrapGarden They must be the quickest carnivorous plant to germinate
No ways. Capensis / spatulata can germinate in a couple days if done correctly
@@TheFlytrapGarden oh wow talk about some nepenthes seeds that can take like 6 mounths
Yep! Some others can take up to 12 months like drosophyllum
How to choose a seed sir and which app should i use to buy can i use shopee
Best to purchase through private growers. Not on any 3rd party apps
thank for sharring, develop together
How many seeds should I put in one small pot?
As many as you’re comfortable with having in one pot. If you want 1 or 100 in a pot is your own choice. I usually put like as much as I can
I have one question, how are the mosquitoes doing in your trays of water? Are there any? I live in California and they are a real pain.
I have none
@@TheFlytrapGarden Damn, I got at least 20 in there rn not gonna lie. I dump the water every couple of days. It’s annoying 😭
As you get more comfortable with growing the plants, you can let the water table get almost empty which kills anything in there and the plants enjoy
It more
@@TheFlytrapGarden Good point, I’ll try that for sure. 😁👍

You can give them some shade if you are worried, but over time they can acclimate if you acclimate them properly.

Canada didn’t have many suppliers as far as I know. Contact Brad Taylor from Brads greenhouse

They do need dormancy, however they don’t need stratification. Different things 😊
I prefer the moss as it’s cheap and easy and renewable too 😁
How do we prevent seed eating birds from eating up the seeds?
Don’t let the have access, I use a steel mesh around my plants to keep them out.
I think that’s where the blood of a goddess comes into play. 👍
Where to buy the seeds?
From India
Try carnivorous plant groups. Do not use Amazon or Etsy or eBay
I heard that if you can grow a tomato, you can grow a venus fly trap. Is this true?
This is because tomatoes are more difficult to grow than VFT :)
Hahahahahaha don't kill anyone Hahahahahaha so funny 🤣
Anyone find a good source for the flytrap seeds? ugh, still struggling...
Hampshire carnivorous plants just came out with some exclusive limited time venus flytrap and sarracenia seeds. You can definutely trust them.

Water pumps and a float valve is my solution for when I build flood tables in my own place one day
making that thumbnail takes balls he could've accidentally harmed the fly traps
