Since you all have been so helpful with my last question, here are another two. Thanks again for your attention.
I can't resist the idea that I ought to mist these things at the end of the day with a little distilled water. Is this necessary? The soil is very damp, but there is no cover on the pot and we have forced-air heat.
Also--has anyone ever experimented with a little vinegar in the water for VFTs? If acidity is what they like, distilled vinegar would certainly give it, as well as some antibacterial protection. Vinegar does the job on a lot of slimes and molds.
If it's never been tried, I am willing to give it a shot once I see which of these poor little babies is going to survive my inexperienced care. If misting is a good idea, that is probably how I would deliver the diluted vinegar solution.
--SO
