My beautiful vft has been wrecked-some of it's leaves have been completly ripped out while others are all bent at un natural angles while some are just leaves with the trap half ripped off and all the off shoots are gone,..................MY VFT GOT RUN OVER BY A MOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i don't know how it happened i have it sitting outside my dorm(i am a boarder at a school)and i came back after school to check on him and found that he wasn't where he usually was and that someone had moved him in out of the lawm and into the shed. The plant was totally mutilatefd beyond beleif and the saucer was filled to the brim with grass clippings and the plant had only one functioning trap as apposed to when i left it this morning with 16 functioning traps!!!!!!!!!!I am gonna cry i am so angry i just need to vent my anger thats why i am writing this. So all the advice i can give to anyone whose vft is run over by a mower is just hope for all ur worth it will recover-thankgod vfts live in their roots!!!!i don't think the rhyzome was affected so i hope it will come back around-something similar happened to my vft about 3 weeks ago the guy came and mowed during school hours and just mowed aound my vft filling the saucer and top of the pot up with grass clippings which i cleaned out from the saucer and around my plant and it recovered but this time they just went too far and i am just so depressed i think i am gonna be sick! i mean i think some of the kids played with it too because it was moved to the enterance of the dorm where they could have easily messed with it and i daresay thats what happened. the guy probably thought this time he would move my plant when he mowed and put it under the shed. then the kids probably came to the dorm after school saw it and decided to much with it...........the kids at my school are all so immature,ignornt and narrow minded that i am not surprised they would do this i am just so angry my poor vft...........................
