So while I was at the local Home Depot last week, I happened upon a healthy looking P. primuliflora and decided to buy it. I planted it in a plastic pot, with a 50/50 peat/green sand mixture, bought some distilled water, and set it on a sunny windowsill that gets lots of morning light. There aren't a lot of gnats and whatnot in our house, so I went out and got some frozen bloodworms and gave it its first feeding yesterday. Therefore, some questions:
1. Are frozen bloodworms adequate? The store I went to didn't have freeze-dried bloodworms, which other people seem to be using.
2. I've been able to grow a lot of other plants on this windowsill, which is in the bathroom. Pretty humid overall, between being in a bathroom and being in Central Texas - will my plant be happy here?
3. Do I have to worry about drafts? IE, we occasionally leave a window in the other room open, and when it gets colder, the space by the window sill will get colder too. Will this harm the plant?
4. Is there anything else that a fledling owner should know about this plant?
