Capensis Killer
today i got my first VenusFlytrap. free. from my email neighbor.
they gave it to me with no traps on them at all. they cut off everything that turned black so now i only have the base sticking out. its still green but the tip is starting to turn black. i dont even know if its still alive.but when i first got it it doesnt have any traps, but the bottom is still green then the bottom near the root is whiteish. i repotted it in peat moss+perlite(sp?) and i got a clipon table light with 42 Watt Spiral Fluorescent Replacement Bulb(equivalent of 150watts) and put it on my table. i dont know how to keep it humid so i put it in an empty plastic tub. i also put the plastic tray filled with water under the pot. do you guys think there's any hope for the flytrap at all? i dont know if its dead or not. they said they got it from OSH. i just started browsing the internet and stumbled on to his forum.
