I have a pinguicula gigantea that refuses to die even after I thought they had a dormant period and left it dry too long. Most of the leaves died but when I realized it doesn’t need a dormant stage and watered it again it grew back bigger than before and is getting ready to flower. I had a fly trap years ago but unfortunately for the plant it caught a fly that my cat was chasing and the cat got mad and tore the plant apart to get the fly. I might need to go to Home Depot and get another one now that my grow area is away from the cats.
Oh wow those are cool pings! I don't have one. I may need to get one. 😂 Yea maybe try another fly trap. I'm giving it another go! 😂😊have a wonderful weekend 🤗 🌹 🩷 💚
@shirleyholt898 Hey sweetie Miss Shirley 👋 thanks hon. I'm maybe a teeny bit better. Hopefully tomorrow will be much better. 🤞🙏 Hope you have a wonderful weekend sis🤗🌹🩷💚
I also didn't know that Venus fly traps go dormant. Always thought they starved to death. Last time I bought a 'nest' of them on a rarity market only bc of the spectacular moss which I 👀 And you know what... my Aldi had the same owl figures with an airplant on/in its head as your Lowes 😯Still have the little figure and the airplant is with a vanda in a glas vase. Hope you feel better soon. Many regards ❣
@annareiter952 Hey hon, really? You all had that little owl! How cute! 🤣 yea I'm going to give it a try again. See how it does. Have a wonderful weekend dear friend. Thanks for your support! I appreciate it! 😁🤗🌹🩷💚
Jan and I went to a Lowes today........there was probably 6 large trays full of bag babies......one tray was all vandas......there must have been 150-175 orchids.......Out of all those bag babies..... there was maybe 6 that had tiny bit of life still in them.......the rest were dry, brown, withered, and even black.... .....Trader Joes had some very nice phals, but roots were in sad shape......looked thru 100, and only found a few that had actual live roots..... ..Carnivorous plants are so fascinating......Give the flytrap full sun,..... keep it in a tray of rain water, no fertilizer, ...and let it follow your seasons.......3part peat/1part perlite,/pinch of sand.....in deep pot,....Mine stays outside all year.....even winter,......When it goes dormant I remove the tray and keep it moist, but not sitting in water....... if it gets very cold, below 30*.... I bring it in the garage overnight and put it back out in the am....You want it to go dormant in the fall..........when they go dormant they start, multiplying, and sending up new trap plants....mine went from a single plant to probably 75-100 traps over this winter........
@@rickl.orchids Hey Brother 👋 oh wow! That's really sad so many were in bad shape! Oh wow thanks for the information on it! I will repot it! I don't like what it's in. 75 to 100! Wow! That's amazing! You'll have to show me next time when it's in full swing! Hope you had a great day out! Have a wonderful weekend 🤗🌹🩷💚
Hey Tess 👋 thanks hon. Yea this was a trama for sure. I was trying to pass it off as nothing. But it really kicked my butt. 😂 I am glad you like the shopping trips. 😊Have a wonderful weekend dear friend 🤗🌹🩷💚
Hey hon thanks😊 I am terrible at certain names. 😂the harder I try to say the worse it gets. 😂 My Jonesianum is another I can't say. It's part my accent too I think that causes me issues. 😂 But thanks for heads up.😂
Hey Paula, I hope your little Venus Flytrap recovers quickly. I had no idea that they went dormant either.🤦🏼♀️ I might have to try again. I'm sorry to hear about your tooth. I hope you are feeling much better. Hugs, Sherrii
@@sheiselwilliams1 Hey Sherrii 👋 thanks hon. I appreciate the support. I am getting better slowly. 😁 Yes it's funny now I think about it that it goes dormant. Like why didn't I look it up. 🤣 Oh silly me! 🤣🤣 so hopefully now I can grow it good and let it go dormant then bring it back. 🤞🤣 Hope you have a wonderful weekend dearest. 🤗🌹🩷💚
Carniverous plants are so fun. I always flush these ones from lowes ALOT! The'yre so sensitive to salt and for some reason they put them in the saltiest media. Hope you feel better and take some time to unwind 😊
@Stwinky Hey hon, really? Yikes! Maybe I better remove it from the media! I usually grow them ok. Like I said before I didn't realize they went dormant till a few years ago and I always tossed them when they went dormant thinking they died. 🤣 I never looked up care for them. Oops! 🤣 I have to water today but I am taking it easy. I'm really wishing I was in bed. 🤣 Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel much better! 😁 I hope! Have a wonderful weekend 🤗 🌹 🩷 💚
I rarely see orchids marked down, even if out of bloom, at the big box stores. I do find Dendrobium or Cattleya once in a while. I usually just get out of bloom plants from other people for free.
@dougdorrer4622 Hey hon, usually Lowes here puts them on sale rack. Especially phalaenopsis. So that's why I was suprised to see none there. I will keep checking this coming summer to see if they get regular bag babies. I bought some they had this past summer. Before that it had been 10 years prior they had bag babies! That's where my extremely large Lily Marie and Volcano Trick came from. I have had them just over a decade. 🤣 have a wonderful weekend 🤗 🌹 🩷 💚
I came across some monster fly traps at our local Home Depot recently. Just $8 and some with 1.75" traps!! They are so big you can just see the trigger hairs. Trap spread is like a half inch. Needless to say, with my other sized specimens, I was blown away.
Fly traps like distilled water and they like to be wet at all times, put a little tray under it and keep it with the water in the tray, jut a little bit, they don’t like being dry, I hope this helps 😉💚
Hey hon, I knew they like pure water, R.O. or rain or distilled. But I didn't know they like wet feet all the time. Thanks for the tip. 😁 appreciate that! 😊 Have a wonderful weekend 🤗 🌹 🩷 💚
@chantalvillemure2595 Hey hon, I did go get antibiotic shot and antibiotics by mouth. I was feeling so yukky. Thanks for your kind wishes. I really appreciate it! It means so much to me! Big hugs! Hope you have a wonderful weekend 🤗🌹🩷💚
@@hillbillyorchidshave a great weekend too! Also I meant to ask whether you can show us those famous bag babies when they will be back in stock… we don’t have those up here in Canada… 😢 I am curious because I heard Rick talk about them too… they seem to be a good deal…
@chantalvillemure2595 Hey hon, I am gonna keep an eye out for them. They showed up this past summer. First time in 10 years! My first plants I got 10 years prior are Lily Marie and Volcano Trick and few others. But then we got the last ones I just did update on. We don't always get them. They are a great deal when we do get them. I am hoping they get them again this summer! 🤞🤣

I love shopping with you. Having a tooth pulled is trama to the body....give yourself time. A few pretty phals that I wouldn't mind owning.
