I just got three vfts that I plan to stick in a terrarium tomorrow. I have a couple of general questions.
My flytraps came all mushed up together, and two of the heads snapped on other heads..Will they spit 'em back out in a little bit or am I going to have black traps already? :|
They are kind of small. Lots of light will help them grow, correct? How much under a florescent garden light? 15 hours?
When you cut off a black trap/leaf where should you make the cut? As close to the base as possible?
Fungicide! What's the best kind? When should I use it?
How do you keep your tanks humid? Would using a spray bottle over the moss and plants be fine? How often?
And! What does the stalk look like when it first starts to pop up? I should cut this as soon as I can get scissors in, right?
Whew. Sorry for all the questions. I just want some happy healthy vfts!
