Hi!
I got a VFT and a sarr today and I have some quick questions that I would like to get out of the way I have done a lot of research and am ready to just enjoy my special little plants!
1. My VFT is very green with little orange-red coloration in the center of the traps. It was in the most shade at the nursery and my guess is that it hasn't seen any full sun in a while. Should I put it in the sun all day tomorrow, or should I just do a couple hours and work up to all day sun exposure?
2. Should I feed it to help it grow stronger, or just let it be outside?
3. I plan on re-potting when I find someone who sells peat moss that is not made by miracle grow. I see a lot of people use silica sand, where would I find that? Is peat moss/perlite (2:1) ok, or should I look into the sand also?
Here is a pic of it:
Sorry for the poor quality, it was dark and on my iPhone
