Hi All,
Me again. I had a chuckle from the "you know you're a cp'er when" thread -- of course had to add some . . .
But have some new questions about new plants. I was drawn into Lowe's to see if they carried them. They did. I bought four. They are in 3 inch pots and have a plastic dome over them. I have: a cobra, 2 nepenthes spp. (they have pitchers similar to what's on the back of the new ICPS newsletter); and a drosera. The first three are pretty good sized, about three inches tall.
Now for the questions:
do I take the plastic dome off now?
will they need to be in the mini greenhouse (which is running out of room) or would they be happy on a bright, sunny windowsill? (remember, I'm the one who over-protected my vft to the point that it got root rot or something -- too much humidity and not enough air circ in the greenhouse)
would they do well outside in full sun? I live in So. California and right now we're in "June gloom", i.e., cloudy with drizzles but in a couple of weeks it'll be full, hot sun with temps. between low 80's and 100 +
Any other words of wisdom.
I know I'm asking a lot of questions but I'm still really new at this. Once I get the basics and can keep things alive and well I'll be able to relax -- and maybe not wake up at 2 a.m. and wonder if they're doing ok. Sheesh!
Thanks in advance.
