I discovered this forum recently and found lots of usefull stuff i needed...so i was wondering if you could help me with few tips/advices
I bought 2 VFT in Bauhaus one week ago...i prepared everything in advance for repotting (long-fibered Sphagnum, distileld water - which is actually demineralised if you read the smal letters, pots and lots of good spirit). I repotted my first girl 5 days ago and during the process all of her traps closed, but oh happy day, after 2 days they all opened again...still, i was very worried, because as you can see, she looks less green and healthier then the non-repotted one
Also, the repotted one started to turn red on the outside of the leaves
i was afraid to repot my other girl, because she looks so healthy and her new leaves are growing bigger each day, although she looks like she could use a bigger pot and she is still in unknown soil from the store
Oh, and she has an unidentified object in one of her traps, which i think i should take out
So my main questions are (i mean, i have millions of them, but let's start with the critical ones): should i repot the other plant too although she looks happy? why is the repotted one turning red and less green? they are both situated on a south balcony getting all of the possible light, they get the same water, the only difference is the soil....repotted girl is in lfsm:perlite 1:1, and the other one who knows
Thank you all alot in advance, Iva
