Hey guys, I'm Dave and I'm starting to get into the world of carnivorous plants. After doing some research and some oohing and ahhing at pictures, I decided to get a typical VFT and a D. capensis, along with a bag of peat, pearlite and sphagnum mix.
I'm hoping to grow the little guys outside and utilize their full bug eating potential. I live between a large canal and a fair sized pond, so I don't think humidity will be that big of a deal short of a drought. I've even got a sunny spot on top of a glass patio table picked out on the south side of the house which ought to pink the traps right up.
I know that they will be quite dormant when I will get them. Its that time of year, and I know I'd be if I was in a dark box for a few days without food.
So yeah, can't wait! I'll update this with pics when I get them.
