FlyTrapCare Forums

So here is my collection so far:

Jaws
Vigorous
FTS seed grown
And some typicals from the local nursery

The pics are at sunset so it doesn't show off some of their true color. But just wanted to get some pics of my babies up

Thanks Matt, if it weren't for this forum I would be lost! So appreciative of the advice you and everyone else have given me.

Thank you, I was using a 50/50 mix but I like lfsm better. I think my plants do too.

Thank you! I'm going to get some better pictures up soon since those were taken at sunset. I really love this hobbies and am very passionate about it.

I will post pictures in some better daylight (instead of the previous sunset) in a few weeks. The seed-grown I got from the FTS is very interesting (I want to order another one! ). It has the appearance of the microdent/sawtooth teeth, upright leaves with deep red coloring. However the leaves are naturally yellow. I don't think it is stress or sunburn because even the new growth is yellow/red, but I will keep you updated.

By the way, fun fact: I found a centipede in some wood and fed it to my seed-grown, it didn't like it very much Within 5 days almost the entire leaf has turned black, however it has 2 new leaves already growing.

The rest of the VFT are doing great! The coloring is amazing, whatever bugs I can find I will give it to a trap if the plant hasn't been fed in a week. Even the Vigorous that was really sulking for whatever reason after shipment, is doing great! Has it's first baby trap out and I fed it some dried bloodworms, closed extremely quick! Quicker than any of my other traps by far. Since the trap was so little it was a little tough to get the food in (kinda pulled some out on the toothpick upon removal, so I had to sort of jam it back in so it was all in). I find it pretty easy to use this method.

Can't wait to post some new pictures for you guys, for a first time grower I think I am doing pretty well and am loving this hobby

Sounds pretty cool! We definitely have a ton of very nice seed-grown plants, all of which can't be named

Here's an update on some of them:

Jaws





Some of the Jaws babies:









No idea where this little guy came from, he's new. Only has two traps. Literally just found him!


My Vigorous is coming around. The old growth is ugly from burns but the new growth looks great! Left the old growth to help it photosynthesis, this thing loves to clump:



And my array of Typical from the local nursery:











Another Typical, goofy looking trap though:




Loving this hobby! Some of the traps are shut because I have been feeding them regularly with bloodworms and they love it! Growth has exploded and even helped being some of the struggling traps back. I have one of my first VFT, a Typical, that is flowering again. I think this time I'm going to let it, it's been outside during the entire process this time so I think it can handle it. My flytraps have been doing great, the coloration could be a little better but that's because I just fed some of them.

Just gave all my plants a good feeding of some dried bloodworms, I will put up some pictures of all my plants in a week or so. I think everyone will be pretty impressed with their growth

Your traps look great! Can't wait till mine are growing that big!
