hit the bell notification icon so that youtube actually tells you when we make a video so let's start the video before i start listing the six most well-known and famous venus flag traps there are some criteria that need to take care of first such as what actually makes them famous and why are we talking about these six venus flat traps are not every other one in the world well the six that i have chosen for today's video are all registered cultivars and they are all well known and very famous venus flag traps that most people can get at stores around them this doesn't mean that they are the absolute most well-known and famous venus flat traps as that's kind of an impossible to track a cultiva is a specific artificially selected and bred towards a specific outcome type of plant for example if he wants red roses you take all the plants that are slightly red breed them and take the babies that are rare duh and make them breed with each other again and eventually you get a super red rose that you can say this is let's say regal red rose and you registered that and the whole world knows that this specific cultivar that you have created as the regal red rose also if you stick around at the end of the video we will be checking up on our young drosra adelaide that was infected with fungus nut larvae and we will be re-spraying it with its second application of neem oil to make sure that we really kill those guys without further ado let's start investing the top six venus fly traps in the world the first two venus franchise we will talk about are the world's biggest venus flytraps first off we have venus flytrap dcxo this is one of the biggest venus flagship cultivars that you can find in the world in springtime they shoot up tall traps sometimes up to 13 centimeters in length right out of the ground and it makes the big traps up in the air these traps are generally recorded to be around five centimeters in size however later on in the season they start to make smaller and shorter traps as the season slowly cools down and they start getting towards autumn time which is when venus fire traps go dormant so obviously they're not gonna have the biggest brightest traps when they need to go to sleep the second biggest venus flagship in the world or actually the biggest venus flagship in the world is the venus flytrap b-52 this venus flag trap was actually registered as a cultivar because of its very strong vigorous growth and amazing coloration that you can see inside of the traps of the plant but seeing as this plant is actually such a strong grower and so vigorous and growing it actually has the world's biggest traps these traps measure out to be 5.7 centimeters or 2.25 inches if you're an american obviously these traps are massive and can easily catch small lizards and even frogs which you can often see in some of the famous videos that go around on youtube and obviously the b52 and the dc exile always have competition with each other to see which one of them can actually make the biggest traps between the two next up is venus flytrap akai this is also known as the red dragon venus flagship the reason why this venus flytrap is so famous is simply because it has super super dark red maroon traps and leaves almost every single aspect of this venus flower trap is completely dark red and maroon color it is actually very very beautiful and you know that even if you get this plant and you may not provide as much sunlight as you wish you could it will still stay a beautiful dark maroon color however in midwinter it is also described to go slightly green in the center of the plant and this is part of the description of when this venus flower trap was registered as the cultiva if you do go this pond and it does go green in winter just remember that's actually normal next up we have venus flower trap bristle tooth now this venus flat trap is a slightly smaller grower than the typical venus flat trap but it has super super interesting bristles on its track the teeth aren't long like this typical venus flat trap but rather small staggered and very bristly but this isn't where it gets its name from this phoenix flat trap was actually named this and registered as bristletooth due to the trigger hairs on the inside of the venus flytraps trap if you didn't know this venus flat traps have three trigger hairs on each side of the trap and these trigger hairs is what actually allows the plants to trap around an insect you may also notice that the inside of the trap can go super super dark red color which is also a very beautiful characteristic of this plant next up we have venus flytrap cupped trap now this trap is super super interesting because the most further away part of the trap is actually fused together and it makes it look like the track is kind of a cup and that's where they get the name cupped trap from now one thing that i really dislike about venus flare trap cultivars is that you get some venus flagship cultivars for example pom pom which looks really good and is kind of interesting but they can't actually catch insects and i personally don't want to have a venus flytrap that can't catch its own insect but many people lack the venus flat traps that have different looking traps and i mean yeah i would still get it if i if i was offered it but i would still choose a plant that can actually catch its traps of the ones that can't and the cup trap is a venus flytrap that can catch its own food for itself which is super interesting seeing as the trap is slightly changed and you wouldn't expect it to be able to catch its own food next up we have one of my most favorite venus flower traps one that i've wanted for many many years and still have not been able to get for myself because of a lack of availability this venus fly trap is called shooting steel two yes two because they are two different types of them shook and steal one and obviously super steel too they are slightly different to each other simply in that shoot and steel too has more relaxed and calmed down ridges and bumps on the patio or the leaf of the bean spatula compared to sugar steel one either way i would love to have at least one of these plants in my collection as they both have these super super interesting ridges that you can see and both of the traps obviously still work to catch insects and they have nice dark red traps which i really really like so that's it on the top six most well-known and famous venus flag traps in the world now let's talk a little bit more about our drastic adelaide that has suffered from some nat larvae a couple weeks ago we made a species spotlight on our tiny drawstring allele ceiling and when we zoomed in and made a time lapse of the plant feeding i realized and so did many of our subscribers that there are tons of thundersnack larvae on the pot and what this means is that these larvae go around and they eat the chlorophyll and the fungus and the tiny little roots of our drosura adelaide seedling and obviously this can kill all of the seedlings that we have in the pot so let's go check check out the plants and spray it again and make sure that there's no fungus that larvae available to kill our seedlings and here we have our pot of seedlings guys look how big our seeding has gotten since we last fed it that's literally seven days since we fed it together i'm not sure if the growth is due to the fish flakes or if it's due to it just growing up and getting better sunlight in its new position but either way that the seating is getting much bigger than this and in a couple weeks time we will do some liquid fertilizers on our adelaide and our tiny drastic region to see if that will make them grow any quicker as opposed to just using the fish fix so i can't see any larvae on the surface but what i will do is spray the surface and do a short time-lapse to see if we see any one of these fungus net larvae busy wriggling around so let's start spraying it [Music] so there we go guys that's another 25 mils of the spray make sure you wash your hands because this stuff can be bad for you but i'm just going to zoom in onto our little seedling over here and let's see if we can spot any larvae busy crawling around and so we can tell if this is really working or not so i'll see you guys in 10 minutes [Music] and there we go guys hopefully there are no more fungus gnats in this media here i can't see any but we will be able to tell better in the timelapse so let's go put these guys back in their places and give them a little bit of water so if you enjoyed this video please remember to leave a like and if you like this type of content please consider subscribing to the channel as we post a video every single week about carnivorous plants so i'll see you guys next time bye okay so let's go water up our venus fly traps and check out all the other water trays and see if they need to get full too yep they're all good just topped up the water for the utrecht area because they need a very high water table so yeah all the plants are growing really well [Applause] bye
