Looking good!

You have got quite a green thumb, Isabelle.

I'm so jealous, you have so many cute little seedlings I didn't expect VFT to really grow so slow and I've read some where in this forum they look almost the same size after a year but more traps lol. I kinda regret I didn't sow all my seeds at the beginning. Now i only hope the rest of the seeds I've sown 3 weeks ago will germinate soon.

Very cute and healthy little ones you have there

FTS really provides extremely viable seeds! Is it possible get seeds with good viability (around 80%-90%) from our own plants by cross-pollinating genetically different VFT's (or different variations of Dionaeas)?

akinkysnorlax, thanks! I simply applied what I red in this wonderfull forum! I admit maybe I get it from my mom and grand dad who really have green thumbs!

Tish, i'm jealous of your photo equipment and talents! I was expecting slow growth but i'm still suprised how well they progress every week. It's so rewarding and interesting to watch them grow!

Haha Thanks for such kind words. Well it's kinda funny we have something to be jealous of each other

Keep those pics coming ya

Update: 9 week old seedling. 4th leafs/traps coming out.

Very good growth Isabelle. These seedlings grows fast!

Update: seedlings are 2 1/2 months old. You an see some of them are nicely clored already.

They seem to grow so fast for seedlings! Great pictures!

I already see a red one!

Yes, I have two red ones in total I think!

Really fast seedlings, mine are still 2-3mm, with multiple leaves and more than 3 months old!

They look great!

Hi everyone, Noticed since a couple of days that the cotyledon leafs of my VFT seedlings are blackening a bit on tips. Is this normal? The color of some seedlings look a tad more yellowish than at the begining. Overall the seedlings still look good. I have a hard time judging if they need more/less water. I usually check the weight of the cell tray to know if I should water. Since the roots must still be fairly short, I top water once in a while when the surface starts drying. Am i doing everything right?
