FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Not the best growing year for me again. I spent this year moving all of my flytraps into 100% sphagnum moss in these new white pots. This was an attempt to rid myself of a mysterious annual attack I've been experiencing for a few years. As usual, the initial repotting seemed to work, but then they started going downhill. Even though I couldn't see any mites, I finally tried Avid miticide and that seemed to do the trick for almost all of the plants. A few have continued to struggle, which is concerning, but winter usually is a timeout on the attacks. Interestingly, I had predatory mites show up like crazy after I started applying Avid. Planning to buy and apply a miticide that kills eggs over the winter.

Anyway, a couple weekends ago, I finally repotted the last few remaining flytraps I had and last weekend moved them into my garage for dormancy. It's been staying pretty warm here until the last few weeks, and we still haven't had a frost. So here are the pictures of most of my flytraps before they go to sleep. Some are good as new, but many are still just recovering.

Some good looking plants. And a few bad. Lol. Hope next year is better for you.

All those plants are amazing. Don't see how it couldn't have been a good year :p

Thanks guys!
