FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi!!! Holy cow it has been a while since I've been on these forums. Long story short I have been so caught up with a ton of different things for a very long time. I got so caught up I had a very hard time taking care of all my plants at the same time. I, sadly, wasn't able to take care of them 100% like I used to be able to and feel ashamed about it. However, I am now at a more comfortable position in life and I am now going back into the flytrap community and carnivorous plants at full force!!!! Couldn't be more excited!! Lots of things have changed on the website I see, looks awesome. Can't wait to get caught up and check out what everyone has been up to! Here's a couple of pics of some flytraps I just potted up today. They don't look the absolute best right now, but I am hoping to try and restore my greenhouse to its former glory!!!

good luck!

Welcome back! I thought I hadn't seen you around for a while.

Hey, they're healthy and growing. That's all that matters. They'll look good in no time!

Yeah they're not in too bad of shape, the rhizomes are actually quite healthy. I can't wait to see how they look during the summer. I'm also going to try some different growing techniques this summer that I have never tried before, like foliar fertilization. Might even dabble with tissue culture. It's gonna be a good growing season

Not your fault, life gets in the way sometimes. Welcome back!

Welcome back Abe

Welcome back!!!

Welcomed back! And they look awesome in my opinion, especially for not being taken care of 100%!

My personal standards are a little high I guess lol. They are certainly not in like Walmart flytrap "Death Cube" shape. I just beat myself up over it because I know I could've taken better care of them. They were just "living" when they should have been "flourishing".
