Howdy!
I recently came across a number of these VFTs over Easter as a present from my girlfirend
, and since getting them have moved them outside.
I've tried to get informatin from a number of websites and people and decided to grow them outside.
Well I first repotted them into a 6 inch pot of sphagnum moss (i threw a little bit of pertlite in there too, _little_), and put them in a a tray of water about 2 inches deep.
I had them placed in sunlight for 2 days until i noticed severe sunburn (yellowing of leaves and some of them turning crispy on the edges) and have since placed them under an east facing patio.
I also placed them (pots, water trays and all) into a 10 gallon terarium that I had been using to _try_ to revive/grow sphagnum moss in. I was hoping this might help keep the humidty up temporarily while I let them acclimate to the conditions outside here.
I'm hoping the sunburn and repotting of the plants wernt too bad and they recover in a week or two.
Can anyone give me some tips/hints/predictions of what will happen with these plants?
