I have to grow my VFT indoors under lights due to extremely high temperatures outside. We have already hit 107 with 10% humidity this year. It looks like it is going to be a scorcher this year. Last year was nice, it only hit 117F.
Anyway, since my plant is grown indoors it does not get the opportunity to catch its own bugs. It is also difficult to find bugs suitable for the hungry little traps. I am wondering if I can feed it some small red worms. I have them in a worm compost bin. They eat biodegradable scraps and paper. I don't think they eat live material. They wriggle plenty enough to activate the trap, but are not so wriggly that I think they will be able to escape.
Thank in advance your your advise.
