It's hitting 50F during the days here, but remaining below freezing at night. It's making an interesting ring effect on the media in the pots outside, as they nearly -- but not quite -- thaw out, then re-freeze. When I get home on my new schedule it's still above freezing, so to try and prevent them being freeze dried, I'm trying to water them at that time. I might consider warming up the water before doing so next time, but I'm not sure on that...
The S. Purpurea are kinda browning up in spots but are seeming ok -- the bigger of the two has an exposed root or two from pouring water on it, which I am trying to fix by pushing some media around on top of it, but it's probably too late to worry about.
I have a pot of 2 S. leucophylla and a S. x 'Judith Hindle', they seem to be doing OK although I do wish I had buried them further down in the media. All 3 still have some color but are browning up a bit. They are in a weird mix of about 2 inches of pure LFS, then Peat + Perlite, then another 2 inches of pure LFS on top. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Some of my new stuff has already woken up to a point -- the D. dichotoma "Giant" is growing like a weed already, and has caught some fruit flies that I didn't even know I had. The D. Tracyi hasn't done anything but turn black on some of it's tips, but only a few of them. I'm hoping to see some activity soon, I plan on making it an outside plant as soon as possible. The D. Binata is still black and dead looking.
I have a S. leucophylla and a VFT Typical in the bedroom windowsill, they haven't grown but they also haven't died, just kinda sitting there, I am hoping it's the lower photo period that's keeping them dormant.
Hopefully around March 30th I'll be able to bring them outside, right now it'd shock them to death if I tried -- 60-70 degree apartment going to a 20-50 degree outside... yeah, not good.
Have some Darlingtonia seed that I'm stratifying in the fridge, it's kind of a race right now to see if I can both stratify it AND sprout it in time for the weather outside to support it. We'll see, my current plan is to take it out of the fridge around 3/20 and plop it into my LFS growing project (where I have my D. Filiformis "Florida All Red" seeds).
