The Carnivorous Plant That Lives Underground (Part 2) - Tuberous Sundew

hey guys welcome back to this channel in this video i'm going to update you on our tuberous drosters cheaper sun juice that are right over there otherwise known as the carnivorous plant that literally lives underground it makes the tuber a little bore like a little potato underground during the summer time and in winter time like it is now it grows off the ground and guys they look so so good and there's about two of them which i'm extremely extremely excited to show you guys so yeah um i cannot wait to show you guys but let's get back to the topic of the weather like i've been telling you guys it's strange because in australia the weather's actually like a very viable thing to talk about where generally it's like something that you guys just talk about if you have nothing else to talk about guys as you can tell it's still raining look it's still raining i live in australia but i might as well be living in the uk because honestly it's it just doesn't stop let me show you this real quick so remember i told you guys like last weekend i could barely recall because it's raining like it's still drizzling now but yeah the past two days it stopped raining and finally like we have a break but yeah it's raining again today and this is happening again so guys yeah we're still dealing with the issue of the rain but just a quick thing to address on with you guys last with last video that we had the table is still drying out it's been a week it's been a full week and the table still has water in it and it's almost dried out so just for those of you guys who did watch that video like i said you have to let it dry out so as the plants can and wool right away and you see it takes a week when it is super wet so just something for you guys to keep in mind now let's jump onto our tuberous dresser over here but i'm going to take out the ones that i really want you guys to see like close up so i'll update you guys on the boring ones but they're really special ones i'm going to take out so make sure you watch until the end of the video because honestly they look so so good and i'm so excited and happy to have these in my collection okay so let me not postpone this let me get started let me take the martin i'll show you right now okay so here we have our tuberous dresser seedlings in all the round pots as you can tell only some of them are starting to come up this is dress from muriai down there is drastic basifolia it's a very very pretty one actually so it makes a little base plant and then out of that base it grows the upright stems it's part of the poltata complex if i'm not wrong and also the traps stay very close together unlike these guys where the traps are pretty far apart so yeah but that's still obviously a seedling very very young and nothing else has really come out i do see one droster latifolia there had sprouted and yeah that memorial that i just showed you over there nothing else except for the jurassic water carry over here this is from mount crawford in south australia see them popping up everywhere very good looking plant guys i really like drastically to carry and yeah you guys might hear the rain coming on and off so i'm sorry if it is loud i do apologize but like there's literally nothing i can do about it so it's getting more aphids off guys we we have a serious april problem this season it looks like anyway this is drastic auriculata and nothing has come out i don't know why nothing has come out because generally these puns always come out you know oracle are today pretty easy growers so i'm surprised that nothing has come out otherwise we do have have our trust from a crown pick here with aphids take them off and squeeze them because they are a pissed but yeah there's not much that i'm there's not much that i'm currently doing to get rid of these aphids at the moment guys but because it is going into winter and um yeah it is freezing cold right now well you know 20 degrees pretty warm for the rest of you guys i guess but for me because we're going to winter i'm not stressing too much about the aphids because they generally come in springtime and they shouldn't establish themselves that well right now the aphids anyway droster platy podia nothing has come up yet next up we have draws from the krantha see they're all kind of intermixed with these very pretty plants you see their upright bowl-shaped traps very very pretty little traps let me see if i can get you one with an angle little star bursts very pretty next to that we have our droshoguniana not much going on there but there is another one coming out next to it they are one of these upright growers too if i'm not mistaken over here we have drastra granite cola you can see it's forming a very thick stem coming out the ground there and one just behind it and one in the center of the screen kind of little spots coming up everywhere but this one here see there's two there the most established ones and they're just about creating their first traps so i am very excited to see these guys and if you want to see these guys literally in like the next two weeks just like the other ones that i'm missing there that i will update you guys the end of this video if you guys are excited to see these ones grow up make sure you subscribe to this channel because in two weeks time i will do another update video because that's how quickly these plants grow they grow insanely fast this is a month's worth of growth all of this it's insane guys so make sure you subscribe to the channel so you do not miss out on that video back here we have drastic something i've done known until we'll come out and here we have modesta nothing yet panconi once again nothing yet but here we just have aramay absolutely going insane all of this growth here is all from drastic aramaic it's also very very pretty plant you guys can see the little star like traps see how i can get them focused there we go very pretty plant and obviously a very quick grow it just grows like everywhere it's insane it's awesome though back there we have something aramaic oh sterling ferrara yep nothing coming up yet and the soniana just starting to come out the ground making a a big little pop of growth they have these sort of oblong shaped traps very nice looking plants honestly over here we have the mensissi eyes very very upright sturdy plants i really like these ones but you guys will notice the similarity between all these plants that they have little starbursts because they are part of the same like little family you know like the same sort of subdivision of each other i think i think it's called the peltata complex i'm really not sure but they do look very similar because of it but yeah they're very very quick ones but you can tell like these guys grow up right and these guys grow like out and onto everything which you know it's awesome back here we have a macrantha which has kind of grown funny because this was like the first plant to start growing before i took it out of the garage all these red wisps had already started growing if you guys watched the first video you would remember that but yeah i mean the very first video not a second one that we did this is the third one if you watch the first one you remember me taking them out these were already grown in the garage so yeah i waited a little bit too long but they'll be all right and otherwise for the back nothing coming up in guarana but our drastic hukiri has some new growth so if you guys do want to see these two make sure that you subscribe so you don't miss out on our next update video but honestly i'm so excited for our plants plus nothing coming up oh pilot sorry i'm so excited for our plans guys because winter time is when tuberous drosophila grows and it is autumn so they just getting started and i cannot wait to share with you guys otherwise the rest of the plants are getting ready for dormancy most of our um venus fly traps are starting to go dormant now some bimania and alicia is going together and a mirror venus flytrap how cool is that class but yeah this is our bermanians that we got from one of our subscribers it is looking very very healthy unless you're there but yeah for the most part our plants aren't very happy because the summers here have been the summer's been just atrocious for the plants and the weather is just not right for them sadly so yeah that's why some of you guys remember i i'm trying to move to the usa and if any of you guys have experience of moving from somewhere else to the usa please uh just give me a shout out have a couple questions and it'll be very very helpful if you guys could um just give me some information on that because yeah i want to get there so i can see you guys so the promise you guys and you know actually start growing a big collection with everyone anyway let's look at those two over there okay guys first up i'm going to show you drossera rupi cola this plant has grown a lot since the last video um yeah and it's eating a lot too let me show you if you guys remember the last video this plant had just the inside little like traps forming but now you can see they form their longer stolons that they create that will run across the ground and you can see they're eating a lot of food a lot of bugs that one's still alive look at that little mosquito or something cool but yeah guys this plant has grown so so well there's even like a ancient looking fly over here yeah there it is but yeah you guys can see just how awesome it's looking how much this plant has grown in literally two weeks since i last showed you guys the video look at that such a happy plant guys now as you guys can tell in this plant the center of this little specific plant here looks like there's little balls or little bulbs sticking out i don't know if you guys can really see that but i think it must be creating flowers and that will be a first for me um a plant that's not part of the potato complex creating flowers because the rest flower every single time it's very you know like stop flowering please because then i just get seeds everywhere but yeah guys this is one that i actually really like it's a very unique different type of plant and yeah to get some flowers will be awesome so i can't wait to show you guys those flowers we can pollinate them together i can show you how to pollinate them and we can get some seeds and yeah maybe someone can get some seeds from this specific farm too i'm joshua rupacola but yeah there's no roots at the bottom just yet this plant it's very very very special i really like how it looks but next up we have drossero what is it drastic culinary guys and this thing has exploded in growth honestly so this drawstrike colony i got from one of our well not a subscriber but a guy in australia who obviously grows these plants because jupiter's drops our australian plants and almost all of the tubular structures that i got and quite a few of this like more rare plants the coal growers that i have down there those plants i got from him because we did a seed trade and i think this colony he gave me five or so tubers of it it's one of the bigger um tuberous drosters and i've had it now for three seasons and wow guys check take a look at this look at the size of this pond guys if you guys remember last time you saw it it was literally just a little ball still forming and when i've had it over the past few years the first show didn't do anything the second journey made a small plant about that big and now it's literally doubled in size this pond is beautiful honestly look at it like i'm genuinely i love this little plant i love this little flat low laying leaves that are that look almost furry and where the red is it's just you know the tentacles like overlapping each other and making it look red it's just it's genuinely so unique guys i really really like this plant i love how it looks i'm so glad that it's growing and that it's so healthy wow guys this is a plant that i will take with me to the usa it's not difficult i just can't import permits and obviously i'll follow the rules and everything i don't mind doing that but it's just getting them getting plants into australia is nearly impossible so that's why i really want to move to the usa because that's what the plants are and that's what i want i want amazing plants just like this so just a little bit of care for you guys like i said earlier they go to sleep in summer they literally go underground they make a little tuba about that far down they live there they stay there for six months of the year and then winter time they come out the ground they'll grow eat as many bugs as they can maybe they'll flower and then they'll go back underground make their little potato underground so that means that you water them in winter and during some and you literally let them get bone dry i leave them in the garage so that there's no direct sunlight on them and no water they just go bone dry that's what they want they are native to australia where it's supposed to be you know dry in summer um it's been wet for 19 weekends out of 23 this year and it's not been rain it's been it's not rained for those 19 it's been rain bombs for the 19 so it's just insane but yeah otherwise give them full sunlight in the winter time like outside i'll be more than happy anyway guys i really hope that you enjoyed this video if you did please remember to leave a like if you have any questions or video suggestions let me know in the comments or email me or facebook me on instagram me if you live in australia want some plants i am selling some let me know rather guys otherwise guys subscribe to the channel so you don't miss out on our next update video on these plans but yeah how awesome are they anyway i'll see you guys then
