Hello,

In the previous thread in the dormancy section I posted a topic if my VFs would survive well I looked at them and the roots are dissepearing, what is going on?

Thanks,

VFK

Don't keep them too wet during dormancy and colder temperatures, or you will invite rot. Let them dry out until just moist before watering them again. I sometimes wait 10-14 days or more between waterings during Flytrap dormancy, for example. When I do water, I do so thoroughly and usually early in the day so that the medium has a chance to dry out a little before nightfall and lower temperatures.
