Hello,
Received my three plants from Matt last week. I have always loved VFTs and am very excited to watch them grow.
I have them on a south facing window sill but because of the trees in my yard are pretty tall they don't get much direct sunlight. Should I add a fluorescent light to compensate for this?
Here's pics of my plants.

I want to thank Matt for doing such a great job packaging them up. They look so delicate but they made it here in CT in great shape.
Great forum!

Probably not necessary. Just take them outside when you can. On days when it's not freezing, put them somewhere sunny. Once spring comes, move them outside permanently.

Thanks! All of that thanks goes to Leah, my wife and FlytrapStore partner, so I'll pass it along :)

So sorry for not mentioning Leah.
Thank you Leah! I was amazed at how well the plants were packaged. I know how hard it must be to mail such delicate plants safely.
The both of you are a class act!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
