Hi,
I have a questions about Darlingtonia, Venus Flytrap, sundew and I am want to by
more to extend my collection. I used to collect them a number of years ago
. I bought some a week ago, I have them in
a little plastic domes they came in.
The Venus flytrap is small but doing okay so far along with the sundew. The
Darlingtonia is not doing too well but I'd like to get more flytraps.
In the past they have not lasted too long. I want to get them into a terrarium along with the others
and now to put them near the middle of the slope. I used to live In North Carolina (Asheville) but never saw
them in the wild. In any case, what is the best way to keep them going in a terrarium. Is artificial light the best for them?
Seems like it but I also want to figure out how to get the humidity the right way.
I know it takes they need humidity but I am confused what to
about the lighting. Some people say east or west end not south, or south near window sill
in a terrarium not covered.
What is the best way to care for them this way.I would like to put them all in
a terrarium but I first want to get the lighting right before I put them in a terrairum.
I want them to get some sun and humidity. One place said to
take off the plastic dome and put them into the sun (south side). I am thinking of getting
some artificial light as well.
Any help appreciated. Please also reply to email below if you can . below
I am new to this list and it is great resource.
