Hello to everyone here at FTC.com. I'm Lock, I'm from Blue Ridge, GA, and I'm currently living in Woodstock, GA. Around Sept. 24th, I bought a five dollar VFT from Home Depot to have something to take care of. I had had one as a kid, but it. . . died. I got it (the new one) home, potted it in a clay pot full of peat, and set it in a tray of water to sit in the sun. After reading almost every VFT care page on this site (which is of a surprisingly high caliber, by the way), I found out my peat had been tainted with nutrients, so I need to go back to the store and pick up some better peat and probably some silica sand as well. Despite my poor peat quality, the little plant is thriving (though for how long this will last, I cannot say). I've been taking pictures every week or so, and I will be continuing this practice. I'll try to upload the most recent pictures. When I first got it, it was small and entirely green. Now it's sprouting new traps like there's no tomorrow, and I'm definitely starting to see pink colors inside some of the newer mouths. I hadn't expected that this small little plant would amaze me as much as it has, nor that it would toss me into an online feeding frenzy of Carnivorous Plant information. We'll see where this new hobby takes me.
Also, is it a good idea to post pictures on the website? If so, what kinds of pictures (and in what quantities/frequencies)? How do I post them (outside of forum posts)?
Awwww. I just found out my pictures are too large to post here. Any help on this situation (or any growing tips in general) would be greatly appreciated. I've never posted on a forum before - *cringes* be gentle.
