Gday all,
I have started to grow a few Venus flytaps from seed and have about 7 which have worked out. I am growing them is some small pots which sit in a container of water next to a window (indoors). I have a few questions:
1. I have put a shade cover over the container for the summer (we could get temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius) is this a good thing to do?
2. I collect rainwater and make sure that the pots are always sitting in an 2 inches of water, is this ok?
3. I am getting a little bit of algae growing on the surface of the medium, will this be an issue? how can you control this?
4. What should you do for dormancy in Australia?
5. Is growing Venus flytaps indoors (while they are young) a good idea?
Any other tips would be great
