Yes, very encouraging. You've already illustrated mexican pings can be grown year round in standing water, so I'll give a venus flytrap a try and grow it exlusively indoors.
If it isnt a clone of a cultivar (which would be specified) it is a typical.. Although some typicals are special and thats how they become cultivars.. People name them
So wait... even though they look completely different, the VFT on the left in the top pic and the VFT in the bottom pic are BOTH typicals?? LOL, I just revealed my status as a complete VFT n00b.
I've got a VFT "Low Giant" growing in my indoor terrarium with a 125watt bulb. It's getting settled in but I'll post pictures in a month or so when it's growing full-swing
im just curious...how do you know the Red Dragon was in a "very light, short dormancy"?
and where was it growing that would allow a very light, short dormancy?
So when you grow these under lights, you've never had any problem with dormancy requirements? I know dormancy is a natural response to growing conditions in nature, but it seems that to deny that, would be like going without sleep. I would imagine that growing year around under intense lighting, they would need a break from it and go into their dormant stage, to ensure healthy growth for the upcoming growing season. But I also know there's more than one way to skin a cat.
Vey good information here regarding the dionaea plants grown entirely indoors with artificial light provided. Here you can see the results which is the difference between an indoor grown and the outdoor grown.
