Im pretty new to growing flytraps, the plant is has been in my care for a couple weeks by now. I've read the sarracenia.com FAQ on the plant.
Here it is, its grown quite a few new leaves since this picture. The pot seems to consist of about six plants.
Here are the questions.
The FAQ doesn't reccomend repotting plants. Is it possible for them to overcrowd the pot then?
I've noticed quite a bit of fungus growth since the last week. Its growing on black traps and even on the "shells" inside the traps when they open. The FAQ says not to worry about it, as it won't kill your plant unless it is weak. Second opinion? Also, is it okay to feed those traps?
How can you tell your plant is going into dormancy. The plant is still producing leaves but these are much taller and stiff looking than the others.
What insects work best? I've currently been using pgmy grasshoppers-the bakcyard is filled with them.
