So unfortunately due to the horrible weather, I have officially lost all of my plants. I'm not set back though, I went to home depot and was lucky enough they had just got a shipment in. Of course I jumped on it and bought two healthy looking vfts. When I got them home I took them out of their little pathetic pots and cleaned them off. After soaking I found out I didn't have two plants, but four!

As I was repotting them I noticed a healthy trap with white from the rhizome was dangling off, so I took it and potted it in moist lfs, maybe I will get a strike!

Oh I bounce back quick! After my first winter going so badly im determined to shelter my plans from the weather next winter, therefore I've tasked myself with building a small greenhouse box I can keep them in outside for winter. Gives me a nice summer project to work on!

I forgot to mention when I was cleaning them before repotting a tiny little chunk of white rhizome with a single root and two little green leaves broke off. I didnt know what to do with it so I just planted it in the middle of the big pot. Any chance of that growing?
