I know you are probably making "Little Shop of Horrors" jokes in your head right now about man-eating plants, but this was one of the coolest interviews I have ever done. We discuss growing some of the best carnivorous plants for fun and profit. Why Venus Flytraps are being wiped out by poachers to make an anti-cancer carnivora tincture. We share the easiest and best carnivorous plants to propagate. We spotlight sundews, venus flytraps and pitcher plants. We also show you how to keep a terrarium for pitcher plants and sundews. Cool knowledge to know for off grid living. Music Title Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

thanks for the information I didn't know you could sell them too I can't wait until it gets warm in Kentucky

Lmfao they sell these Venus fly traps at the 99 cents store here in California and they are awsome I fed mine wild roaches and my fly traps wer fat piggys and I always kept their soil acidic and I have my fly traps distilled water which they seemed to be okay with

As crazy as this sounds, there is a variety of Venus fly trap that grows near the swamps in Sterling, Alaska.

correction, saccarencia pitchers are, the rest are tropical pitchers.

Fantastic interview! I enjoyed every part of it.

Is it possible to harvest seeds from the carnivorous plant flower?

can i grow them in India?? Temp around 30-40. Humidity above 50. ???

You mainly talk about sarracenia pitcher plants make sure to explain which one you are talking about. Sundew flowers can be other colors than pink. Sundew information wrong

i want a goose now...imagine how cool it would be if you were crusin down the street in a convertible with a fucking goose in the passsanger seat while bumpin gangsta rap xD

im interested in buying the basic one with the teeth ,you know what im talking about,and my question is if i can grow them in coco fiber substrate that i use for my tarantulas? and do you know any channels on youtube that make videos about these planst,like feeding and stuff?

can i plant it in egypt

8:35 it will re-open once? also, seeing how slow the traps close and how the venus flytraps look, it really looks like he is not caring for them that well at all. a lot of the information in this video is false too, but none the less, it was interesting, although time wasting to watch.

Very informative. I also like Lexi! :) I've got a Daddy Longleggs infestation. I've been told Essential Pepperment mixed with water and sprayed would deter spiders. I probably need to grow Venus Flytraps outside the house. Bet that would work even better! :)

Great video, and lots of fantastic close-up shots. I've had flytraps in the past, and they all died of black rot. Great tips about what type of sand and soil to use. I was using the wrong kind of sand, and wasn't using rainwater (just distilled water.) I learned a ton, thanks!

Very interesting, most of that was new to me. Thanks for sharing.
