Just went to Lowes yesterday, came home with yet another new addition!

I have been looking for these since spring started and can't wait to see them grow! After I got it unpotted I noticed it was actually two separate plants!

Great find! I just bought me a slew of newly arrived VFTs from Lowe's. I had to clean them up a bit due to some rot that was present but they're potted in fresh LFSM and will hopefully make a nice recovery in the coming weeks.

Oh im sure they will! About three weeks ago I bought some vfts from Lowe's and now I can tell they are getting settled in nicely! Each of the four I got are putting up between 2 and 4 new traps now

They look healthy but really light starved, which is pretty typical for plants from Lowe's. IN case you haven't already heard this, I would be careful to slowly introduce them to sunlight. If you just stick them right out in full sun it could hurt them. Start with a week of mostly shade (1 hour direct sun a day), then a little more, then full sun. The plant will thank you.

Tyvm for the advice! I will definitely be cautious with them :-)
