My project is to show how people grow their nepenthes on windowsill

Some of you asked me if the lights that come with the Spider Farmer Plant Stand are good for carnivorous plants. Well, let's check the spectrum, Lux, and even temperature.

Is melted snow safe for carnivorous plants?
Let's test the water quality and find out how to get free safe water during winter.

I use fallen snow from the backyard or the deck. In the front of the house there may be some salt from the road. I don't use snow that is directly on the ground. Pack it down hard in a bucket or bowl. TDS ~ 0 for fresh to ~ 9 ppm after a few weeks. Plants do fine.

You're right, I only use by back yard snow... at least 30% when I'm brave haha

It's been 6 months since I sowed some Sarracenia seeds, and it's time for the second repotting.

Hi all!

In today's video, I go through my spring cleaning routine for my pitcher plants' growing areas. I show what I trim, clean, and reset to get everything ready for the new growing season.

Happy Growing!

Hi guy!

I built my very first backyard bog garden and plant it with cold-hardy carnivorous plants. Living in Manitoba means dealing with long winters, deep freezes, snow, and temperatures that can drop far below freezing, making it the perfect test for these fascinating plants.

Happy growing!

Hi all,

When I was in France, I often visited the other carnivorous plants growers who lived around me, to see how they were growing their plants and that taught me a lot. (and I really miss it too).
(At that time it was mainly for temperate species of carnivorous plants).
I would like to reproduce this but with the size of Canada, it’s very difficult!
As a scale, the France size = the Manitoba size...

So, I thought about it and the best way to be able to "visit other growers from a distance" was to use YouTube.
At work, I use a software that allows to have speakers who speak together (with split-screen).
That allow me to be able to interview people and they can answer my questions and show what they want (here it would be their installation and plants).
So it's technically possible. This concept of video where nepenthes tips are exchanged does not exist on YouTube. This is why I made this channel.
Sharing photo of our windowsill are great, but we can't really learn from it.

And now, I just have to do it, to find people interested in sharing.
I created a YouTube channel and I plan to put all the interview (I will need to find a name fore that) on it.

I hesitated to speak to you about it for a long time (for fear of being ridiculous) but here I go!
here is somehow the pilot video (Sorry in advance for the terrible French accents ):

The questions will be simple:

• What species are you growing on this windowsill?
• What substrate do you use?
• What Temperature and Humidity do you have?
• Where did you got your plants?
• What gears do you have? (Sprayer, Humidifier, Hygrometer, Thermometer, Lighting. If possible, with the name of the brand so people can find it.)
• What are the favorite nepenthes you grow?
• Do you have tips for beginners?

As you see, nothing fancy.

Happy growing to all of you!

I plan to start with North American's growers but as soon as I can, I'd like to try to interview worldwide.

Please, if you want to show me/us your setup: PM me

I love watching your videos, thank you for the time and effort it takes to maintain a YouTube channel. Looking forward to watching your future videos. Well done
