Lynn bought at presented an early Christmas present for me. She bought a
case (32) of 9” tall plastic pots, the ones I requested months ago, hoping
to get them by my birthday (5 weeks ago), for the gemmae I was soon to be
receiving. Since nothing happened, I went ahead and scarfed up as many 32
ox beverage cups I could find and poked drainage holes in them for the
gemmae. Naturally, Lynn viewed the cups as hideous and that led to the
early present. I spent the time before work transferring what I ad into 15
pots, making a big mess in the process. Two of my cups toppled over and the
gemmae / media went all over the place. I probably shocked and killed
indeterminable amount of sprouts and buried several more in the transfer.
I have an idea for the used beverage cups, though. When I get my
Sarracenias & VFT’s back in March I will be repotting and making divisions.
I can do one plant per type. They will have more depth than the pots they
have been in.
