hi everyone!
new to the VFT scene, more of a gun-nut if anything.
but these VFTs ... its like pokemon - gotta catch'em all!!!

first i got jaws (young adult) from Matt & Leah, then had him for several months and was amazed at how hardy he grew and how much he grew from how i originally received him.

then came the coquillage (young adult).
then came the alien (young plant).

then i just ordered a young adult of dutch delight, fused tooth, and a wacky trap!
gotta catch'em all!!! buwahahaha

thanks a lot, Matt & Leah - for my brand new addiction!
but seriously, i'll be a repeat customer for sure!
you guys are awesome!!!

i think sometimes, mixes with lots of perlite, when you water them, it floats to the surface
so either that or did it intentionally

Thank you!
I read some growing tips in your blog an opted out for the unglazed clay planters today and went with some cheapo 6in resin fiskar planters!
The coquillage and the soon to arrive wacky trap will still be in a 4in clay planter, but glazed clay planters.

Muahaha, let me slowly work my way around dionaeas first!

Yup! Are there any cons about it that I should know!?!???
Any tips would be highly appreciated!

Open to tips if you got any!

Ok, I repotted the JAWS since I had it in some cheapo spagmoss from Home Depot.
Now all of my babies are sitting on some NZ spagmoss, care of Matt & Leah!

I think he will survive

Well, at least he looked better than the last time I took a picture!

Then here are the newcomers, Dutch delight & fused tooth
