After almost exactly 5 years since my first attempt at growing VFTs, I have decided to take on the challenge again. Since I am now a headstrong adult, I carefully considered the hits and misses I experienced the first time around and decided to start small by ordering 36 VFTs of 12 different cultivars . In the 3.5-4ish years of my absence from the carnivorous plant community, I forgot how generous a community it was and my 36 expected VFTs ended up being closer to 65 . Special Thanks to Matt for the hook up!
Anywho, here goes:
They have arrived!
All soaking in prep for planting!
Whew! All done! Had to improvise with the last 4 pots but I can repot them later once they get big n strong. Special shout out to Matt for his pre-mixed planting media. It seemed very consistent throughout and looks like it has the perfect balance between water retention vs. drainage. Really glad to minimize that variable this time around. Thanks Matt!
All lined up on a south-facing porch.
