FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I must have gotten fresh ones, cause these plants look really healthy! there was 4 plants in this group (and then some newly-forming divisions), and they all had nice root systems and rhizomes. I gave 2 to my mom and stepdad to start them on the path of growing CPs lol, and I kept 2. I like the razor-toothed edges to the leaves; hopefully that stays on the new leaves that grow out

How much did you pick this up for?!?


Happy Growing, from Dillon!

It was only 6 bucks lol

ermergash! I need to go visit the nearest home depot!

edit: visited my home depot. They have no CP plants either

My home depot had none

Dang you Earthy!! You made me buy another VFT. My local Lowe's had the same toothy leaf one. I found one with really arched traps. It's not nearly as large as yours but has 1" traps. My even came with a free Pseudoscorpion.

That's a healthy one for a home depot rescue. Good save. It won't last long in that pot. I could see that the LFS (media) is contaminated with green algae. I would take it out of its pot transfer to a new deeper pot with 1 part Canadian peat moss to 1 part perlite. Top water a good eight times to flush out the salts in peatmoss. (Don't use any Miracle Grow Product)

Algae doesn't hurt the plant right?

already did as soon as I got it (this isn't my first rescue lol...plus been growing flytraps for 2 years now). so far it's doing well; it's not really growing but that's to be expected after a repot per the usual "behavior" lol...
