Hi my name is Meghan and I just rescued a VFT from a pet store two days ago that had NO clue how to raise or care for them!
I'm hoping with time and with the help of this site and forum I can nurse it to full health and have a beautiful VFT like I've always wanted :)

I'm also interested in having and caring for Pitcher plants one day!

Good growing!

It's sad that stores that have no knowledge on the plant would take on trying to care for them, a lot of the other VFT there had many dead, black traps and some have the flowers growing from them.
And once I find somewhere around here where I can get them/seeds for them I'm going to try! They really are beautiful
