How to divide and repot your Venus Flytrap Dionea muscipula 

It's been almost 10 years and I sincerely hope you're doing just as well and everything is alright!!

Thank you very much for making this video. Your advice on separating the plants has been incredibly helpful.

I was afraid to repot and divide my plant, but after watching you, I have the guts to do it! Thank you for posting this video.

I actually liked this video about 7-8 years ago still such a good video and I follow this repotting method to this day

I just got my plants delivered today and I am so impressed with the quality! So glad I bought from you and not somewhere like amazon 😒 Thanks so much!!

Is it just me or 90% of people commenting here are professional carnivorous plant growers. Know it all's springs to mind. This guy makes a living from these plants how many of you do?

I've bought 3 VFT from you, such great plants!

I love your channel, its brilliant and really informative. I also love your shop, I've bought many plants from there and they're all gorgeous and thriving, particularly my Jonesii which is a beast now and feeds all the time!

Damn you're rough with them.

Possibly the best video on this subject I've seen so far! Very informative,excellent demonstration and straight to the point. Ps,where in the uk can I buy Venus flytrap compost? And I don't buy anything online so shops only please.

Hallo sir, how many high they can grow and how many big for the a leaf for venus your are footage.... How about sun, full sun ? After repot... I mean how to care after you repot for adaptation a while until they are healthy again... Sorry my english not really good sir... Thanks have a nice day...

Thank you for this video... i am going to save it in my favorites to return to it later... i bought a VFT this summer and it is planted in solely spaghnum moss... is that ok or do i need to repot into a peat and perlite mix?

Thank you so much for the helpful video. Very well explained and useful.

Is there a specific compost you have to buy to re pot the plants or can you simply re pot using a normal shop bought compost?

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Was extremely helpful

I've heard they need cooler temperatures for winter dormancy. Do they still need a lot of light during this time? I was thinking of moving mine from my windowsill out into my shed for the winter as that would be much cooler, but wouldn't have much light.

Shagnum moss is fine but watchout for it out growing your vft and give it a trim if it does.

Thanks for that. it has been very helpful.

Hello!! very nice video!! I had a plant do de same when i did a re-pot earlier this year, yet they were still attached to each other...i left them be, should i have "broken" them apart, or wait a little longer so they can separate for themselves?

We use a mix of 4 parts moss peat : 1 part lime free sharp sand

I accidentally snipped off some new growth a very small little head. Trying to clip off a old black head. Is this going to stress out the plant to much or do I not have anything to worry about.??

Interesting video and verry educational, nice job Can you tell me please what are the components in the compost soil for venus flytrap ? Because i ordered some seeds and i want to plant them but not any soil is good. Thank you !

When you replant them do you have to divide them? or can you just keep them as they are?:)

Very informative. I am just going to divide my newly purchase Venus flying trap. Thx.

Hi Sir, Thank you for the video it was brilliant. I would just like to know how do you keep those small traps alive? Like the bigger ones are fine but I struggle with the smaller ones, any suggestions?

tanaman nyo pakai apo ? kompos apo cak mano?

thanks for the video and the nice tips! I have a really tiny flytrap that came from a seed last year and i have it in a pot alone with a drosera cos , and I was seeing it getting worse... I am going to put it in a smaller pot, even thou I dont find them so i think i will have to use a yogurt or something smaller. Is that pure peat moss or is it mixed with perlite?

Great video. Where can I get moss peat?

Is it right that once you do this, all the leaves close?

will each one of those produce flowers ?

it is possible to clean the soil with distilled water?

Thks for sharing mate!Can you give distilled water instead of rain water?

Does it matter what time of the year theyre divided?

what time of the year is best for repotting VFTs ??

compost has usually too many nutrients for this plant. surprising that your plants survive and even grow

I have tree Venus flytrap from you♡♡♡ they are beautyful...but I worry about winter, and that they don't have enough sun in England;0 ((

I just bought a little venus fly trap and the instruction says to plant it in sphagnum moss, but I see you have dirt in your plant. Any thoughts?

@Just Me Sounds like the heat and rain is perfect conditions for growing, as the Venus Flytraps needs a lot of water and a lot of sunshine to grow. However, they can only grow in sterile soil, like the nutrient-poor soil you get in peat bogs. The water has to be either filtered or rain water and there needs to be enough that the soil is always moist. I’m making a video of how I grow my seeds I will upload it tomorrow to help you

Yes , from leaf cuttings will do video later in year

I just put it in a new pot but I haven't separated multiple roots is it gonna die?

Thanks for your explanation!

great video mate, very well explained.

When is The period of change of The pot

Mine seem to be dying and I've tried everything. There are hundreds of different answers for 1 question. I will keep buying them until they live

We sell compost from our nursery in Devon . Dont know any shops that will sell it

How do i know when i have to repot it?

So how do you clean the traps now..bcus tha full of soil now...that seriously annoys and irritates me

i thought that compost cant be used? you can only use boggy soil or peat moss?

Hablo español, pero aun asi le eh dado like. Muy bueno tu video!

I actually like that tight they are. Don't in the wild, them growing like that is normal? And how are they surviving in reach soil? That's not peat moss.

What lord tywin doing after GOT

This was very helpful

such a pro! thanks!!

@playdrums Try it! It will shrivel and die which is good for flytraps!

Does it hurt when the little traps close on bare skin? I'm kinda afraid to touch mine.

Mine never grow 😵😢 i buy some seeds by wish and i don't know what im doing wrong

great video!! keep it up

Thank you :)

Every time the traps close, it weakens that leaf and will eventually die. It's not good to constantly make all the traps close, they should only be triggered when eating.

Hello? What type of soil do you plant those plants in? Thank you!

great vid

do you want to share too me i live in sweden

thanks!

He keeps saying compost *RIP Fly trap*

Amazing

is it OK to feed my VFT little nuggets of raw hamburger every so often to train it and help it get stronger?

Thanks.

No , i think it was an all green.

“Tease”?

you can do both with no problem.

I was going to use a root stimulator when I re-pot my venus in a few days. Will this help or hurt?

Venus Flytraps originate from the marshy and bog regions of North & South Carolina on the East coast of North America. There are little to no nutrients in the soil they grow in, as the nutrients have been washed away by the water in the boggy habitat. Therefore, the plant has adapted to source it's nutrients from insects. The pads (or mouths as I call them) contain (usually three trigger hairs) on each side of said pads. Once an insect lands on these pads and stimulates the trigger hairs, along with a sticky secretion which traps the insects, the pads will close, trapping their prey. They slowly dissolve the unfortunate prey and this is how they feed and are able to survive. If you own or are thinking of buying a venus fly trap, please don't try to stimulate the pads (mouths), as each one can only open two to three times, after which, the individual pad and leaf will die. If it is fooled into thinking it has caught prey, it will close and with nothing to digest, it will die off!

nice

Early spring

its sphaghum peat moss

You sound like Michael Caine

Can't hear you,

thanks horror

No, it isn't. Hamburger meat contains too much fat, which will probably kill your plant.

People really don't have the critical thinking to think maybe when he says compost he doesn't mean the one thing everyone knows not to give carnivorous plants

You're rough with the little plant and chocked the plant's traps with compost /peat moss..ouch!

Dude you broke a roat when you decided the plant into two and you’re doing it alllllll wrong

when the roots grow out the bottom

Hurts to watch. Thats a very stressful process for them and hes doing it so rigorously. The more careful you are and the faster you do it the better it is for the plant

3 years? I repot my vft every 3 days. Hahaha

Sounds far too low

Hahaha, no dude, you will barely even feel it.

look this is not potetos

Early spring
