yup, the plant grow much slower than before ( look at the left vft), amazing enough, the very small sprout can be seen inside the plant core but develop very slow , some trap still trap a fly but don,t tight since five day ago, make them look like sleeping during eating to me, however the plant still crisp and not mushy. Anyway, Should i wait for more 10 day till this 21 june 2011, to complete a 1 month process where i start to dormant them from 25 may 2011 or i cant put them into the fridge right now ?
