My vft pics

[goldtrap2690]

This is my first time posting pics and i really want it to work this time as i have gone over days trying to fix errors and edit things but finally i think i'm done with all that . Here are some pics of my vfts which most of you have been asking for :

50 year old :

when i got it

a pic a few days ago :

this plant might as well beat spec's world record vft traps but i'm too lazy to count

measurments of the plant(s) :

this might be inaccurate

Blood Red Trap

when i got it

a few pics a few days ago

notice that most of the traps are closed ( due to the large population of flies visiting and never coming back )

this is a new trap in the autumn leaf form , notice the deep red coloration .

As you can see , the plants improved alot more in my care . I hope you enjoyed the pics and there will soon be moe but be patient because i'm not 50 yeard old like that vft

.

Cool , so the pics are working . well here are the rest like i promissed :

red dragon :

a lil in the dormant mood but its very red ( AHHHH !!!! , the plant is eating my big foot

)

green dragon :

you can never show too much red  

giant :

I'm starting to think that this plant is the low giant but its still young so who knows

red variety :

a cool variety , yet its young so it won't be shoing much characteristics til its older .

fine x red

for some reason this plant is not doing well but toerh people are having problems too so i'm not the only one .

finally
last but not least
one of my most favorite vfts
The Typical

here is a pic when i got the plant :

heres a pic after a few weeks

its flowering

now heres a pic a few months later in my care :

the plant is much bushier in growth and much more colorful now considering that most people say that flowering makes the plant weaker

a close up

this is what happens when you annoy me  

more pics still coming

Anything special you do with the plants? They look great! BTW which one is the 50 yr. old one?

 

[Zongyi_Yang]

ah, those are super pics! the 50 year old one does look the same, but still cool to see. i also like your giant. that typical vft has petioles like a ping

. nice plants

thanks everybody for your compliments , to tell you the truth i don't have any secret or tips , but i grow them all outdoors in the sun , they get a few hours of sunlight but thats it . i rarely ever use fertilizers . the 50 year old one is the first 3 pics , the first being about a few months ago and the second and thrid pic being a few days ago .

Hey, I just noticed that there is a sundew growing in your 50 year old VFT pot. Also, that's some nice coloration on your blood red trap, good job!

Nice vfts goldtrap!
Now how about some pictures of other cps?

 

[PlantAKiss]

Nice pics and plants GoldTrap.

 

[goldtrap2690]

other cps ehh , probably have to wait til the next season as i just got my plants to put otusome very good growths but since your so eager , then you might have to weight a while as it takes a heck of time to load .

 

[goldtrap2690]

i just got my vft common and dente bareroot today . i might be posting a pic of these plants tommorow .

 

[trashcan]

Please do.

 

[uglypho]

Very nice! I love that insect carnage scene!

Also the blood red.

 

[Travis]

Very nice pictures of your vfts Goldtrap. That is a lot of vfts for a 3 inch (if that what it is). Wow!

Travis

 

[goldtrap2690]

yep , my vfts and most of my other small plant are in 3 inch pft pots , believe it or not , i brought 50 of those pots from pft last year , i wish phil could gave me a discount for them

. well , as trashcan requested , here are pics of my bareroot plants from pft :

common

notice the red streaking down the petiole

dente

notice the four plantlets on the side

i really enjoyed my plants , they may not have been a green dragon with giant traps but at least they are healthy and very colorful

 

[Travis]

Very nice bare root you got. What kind of soil mix did you use? It looks like peat and perlite mix.

Travis

 

[goldtrap2690]

its a mixture of canadian peat , perlite and some Chilean LFS , i used the soil for my sar from the grab bag sale but it died and i did'nt want to waste it so i keept it and until now i have fiballys used it . the mix is nice and spongy .
