@marcusdangel While I wouldn't be at all surprised to find Walmart had sold you an unhealthy flytrap, the way you describe it also sounds like a flytrap that has gone into dormancy from not enough warmth and, secondarily, light. Next time you get a flytrap like that, try putting it in direct sunlight or putting it under a grow light and keep it well watered and see if it comes back. Also leaves that have hibernated will never close again. I don't know why, that confused me at first with mine. :)
Suspense might have built if you had added music, but honestly, I was ready to turn it off by the end of the first minute. It's an okay video - it would have been great if it were half as long or if there were some music.
@ClefDeDavid88 To me -not a vegetarian at all- it doesn't seem strange however that you enjoy the thrill of 'hunting instinct' in watching this perfectly natural scene: a predator catching its prey. I mean did you become vegetarian for your health and/or because of evil, unhealthy and abusing farming/slaughtering methods ? Or ,because you feel pity that animals have to die? I hope it's one of the first two reasons..
@JHNProduction LOL! YOUR the retard. the flies dont just waltz into the dam trap idiot. The plants are smart enough to use things to attract them in. They use nectar which is located mostly inside the mouth of the plant. Bugs have an extreme sense of smell and can pick this scent up from a good ways away. Theyre lured in to take a drink and snap. Its not as simple as DURRR LETS WALK IN HERE. think next time
@JHNProduction Acually, they don't eat the flies for food, they just digest their bodies for Nitrogen, they can already get nutrients from the soil, and if the area has a good source of nitrogen then the plant can go on living without any flies.
Can't water them with tap or drinking water. The minerals will kill them. Must use distilled or rain water. Mist spray the plants occasionally. Keep soil moist (brown) but not drenching (mold will develop). Water about once a week. Right now, the plants are out of dormancy. Perfect time for the kids to have fun!
The instructions that come with venus flytaps from places like wal mart are complete bull shit. I have a Venus flytrap care vid listed first on my page if you wanna check it out.
In my opinion venus flytraps are actually lousy pest control. For every fly, slug, or ant they eat, their are a billion more. One plant I do feel will put a dent in the insect population are the sarracenia.
i know. people think a vft is actually going to do something about it. even though the bug has to stay on the leaf to t rigger it. my north american pitcher (the one i rescued, i have no idea how the other plants are) when a pitcher died, i cut it off and looked inside by cutting in half. what i founf was almost a full rooms population of gnats. i wonder what will happen to all of those ladybugs in the summer!
Nice looking plant, mine is smaller. I nicknamed it The Lady's Death becasue it catches the lady bugs that fly into the house around this time of year.
They tend to do well in warmer environments (but not under direct sunlight), and though rain water is best for them, tap water is okay as well (so long as you either pour it into a dish so that the soil can soak it up from bottom up, or pour it into the soil itself).
WOW maybe next time you can edit the video. The good part starts at about 2:30 so cut everything else out. Btw i wan the 2 min 30 seconds of my life back that i wasted!
No, it's not weird if you're a vegetarian. The plant 'consumes' for necessity. People have alternative, compassionate options and therefore it's out of gluttony.
They take a while to open back up. The last time I fed my plant it took over two weeks to open up again. It takes a while for the enzymes to break down the insect.
i have a venus fly trap, but how do i maintain it? most of them are getting dried and yes i do sprinkle with water twice a day. Does it really need to be fed or what...?
I had a small one for a while and a little note came with it saying I should catch and feed it flies once a while if it can't catch them on its own...
you need to keep the plant moist with distilled water...not tap water since it contains too many metals...u can also use rain water or buy distilled water from the store
oooh not to use tap water i see.... distilled water it is then. However, my Venus fly trap soil is getting eroded, what type of soil is good for it? and should i relocate its vase to a larger one or just within its own size? like the one in the video?
Venus flytraps like some humidity...they will dry out if the humidity is not right. It should be at or above at least 50% misting only helps somewhat....The soil needs to be at the right conditions as well..use rainwater and if you use tap water from the faucet let the water sit for two days so the chlorine can evaporate out of it.
The three points to growing carnivorous plants are water, humidity and lots of light...if you can keep those three things in place you will have healthy plants
i jus bought 2 fly traps about 2 weeks ago, n it seems like 1 is doin better than the other. i got over excited 2 feed my trap n i musta used 2 big of a spider cuz it ended up dyin. does anyone know the reccomended sunlight per day? cuz ive been lookin at websites n sum say 4 hours of direct sunlight n sum say no derect sunlight.
I put my fly trap pou tin the garden today lol,to see if it caught anything mine has 6 leaves it was outside for 4 hours i just went back out ot check it 4 of the leaves are shut lol,so im leaving it outside in the garden now lol,i might get another one lol,and good video i saw it ok!
