Keep them growing as they are looking good so far. Was just wondering if you decided what you were going to do with the VFT flower stock. Anyways if you have any questions with the Sarrs let me know especially when you get closer to dormancy.

Thanks Chad!
I appreciate it!! I cut the flower stalks and am attempting to propagate them :). Thanks for stopping in and sayin hi :wave:

How are all of your plants doing?
 
  • #113
My plants are doing ok however the Iowa wind and storms have messed them up some however living in Iowa I have gotten use to it but everything is comming out of dormancy. Had 1 plant that I had to do surgery on to get rid of the rotten part. For some reason sarracenia rubra give me trouble especially comming out of dormancy. Really home the flower stalk takes and you get some more B52 VFT.

Sorry to hear your having some problems. I really hope the cuttings take too:) I look forward to haveing little baby flytraps to share!

WOOHOOO!!! New arrivals!!!

Hello everyone!!

Today I got some goodies in the mail! I received; 120 vft seed w/30-40 unknown mystery seeds, the "A2" hennings giant vft that I won in the auction ( Thanks Jeremiah!!), and a "Jaws" vft.

I planted all of the seeds today minus the mystery's (untill I know what they are) and put the 2 vft's out in my mini bog with the B52's.

Update!!

Hello everyone!
I have spent the last 2 days re-arranging all of my plants, and added a new light to the shelves. I have quite a bit of free space now :) I snaped a few pics, but I'm not all of the way done so dont mind the mess.

I decided to move the maxima poi dog, and ventricosa to the back room to see if the would start throwing larger pitchers (the ventricosa is in the terrarium with alata);
