Hey everyone. So I asked for help on a very sick little vft.

I admit that I foolishly planted it in some sketchy soil from a less than reputable seller... refer to my previous post for more information.

I am happy to report that after some care to put the little plant back in sphagnum moss and give it more light... it's starting to come back. Today I counted 3 little sprouts that weren't there a few days ago. She might live after all!

FYI - I see flower stalks on both plants in this picture. I recommend clipping those off so the plants can devote their resources toward growing more leaves.

And I would add take the flower stalks and plant them. Maybe get lucky strikes :D

Good looking out! I just thought they were more traps growing but sure enough... flower stalks. I snipped and planted both. Now we wait. Thanks!
