FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

He everyone! I wanted to share my little carnivore instillation in my apartment. Its always a work in progress and I'm constantly switching things up and swapping things out. This is what it looks like today

The setup is pretty ingenious I think it looks pretty cool. I like the idea of how the VFT are growing on the side of the mound, I am not sure if that is healthy for them but they look pretty happy, how long have they been like that? They look like they need a bit more light for this time of year.

As long as there is good air circulation, there shouldn't be a problem with terrariums. That is a known issue with them. I don't grow in terrariums, so I am sure someone with more expertise will be able to help.

Overall I think it looks good!

Looks pretty cool! The plants definitely would appreciate more light, which is evident by the new growth being thin and lacking traps, but you can't deny the coolness factor of the setup!

Thanks for the tips, guys! This is all very new to me- my first plant was given to me in March of this year and this is what it's turned in to- so I appreciate any and all tips from you knowledgable folks!

Just from observations over the past few months, I knew some weren't getting enough light, so in this new set up I added a second grow light to each shelf and will continue to monitor color changes and growth.

The mound was started in March with my first baby VFT thats growing on the top, and it's exploded! The VTF on the side was a division that I took from one of my other plants in May and just stuck on the side to see what would happen, and that one has exploded, too!

what kind of soil mix are those? looks interesting and so firm.

littleflight, this is a nice steampunk like setup you have there.

This setup is so gorgeous.

Very creative space you have there. I really like all those glass containers
