FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hey everyone,

Just as the topic title says, do they look happy to you?
Just a remark, they were neglected for 2 weeks during the Christmas holiday, they did get there light, but only 13 degrees C, and water in the pots was empty when i got back^^, i know i know, but since i cant change the thermostat here.

But anyway, how do they look after 2 weeks of complete neglect and a weeks care after that.

VFT Stalks amongs my seed containers.

All of the bunch

Sarracenia hybrid (mught be a leuko?)

Indica, this guy stopped growing almost completely during the 2 weeks, it has formed 3 new arms since last week.

Aliciae which i rescued (6 in 1 pot-.-') the small guy seems to be dying, not a lot of dew on the old leaves, keeps forming new ones which seem to produce more dew.

My 3 VFT typicals

another closeup of my aliciae

the typicals again, here u can see where i cut off the stalks, and in the background u can see another one forming.

Nidiformis seedlings, have about 15 of them

I would say they look good to me!

Aliciae is recovering slowly and you have an vft flower stalk forming.

Yeah, also seems they dont like my blood worms since they were all dried up, but this might also be because the plant hardly had any dew left.

The stalk is gonna cut again (second one from the same plant in month time), one of the other photos also shows the planted flower stalk.

Update comming tonight or this afternoon, and see the difference compared to a week or so ago, and proof that even dummies (as myself who neglect there plants for 2 weeks) can get them on the right track really quickly

That's why I have all my lights and watering systems on automatic timers!

The flytraps look very healthy, and not at all dormant (don't know if they should be).

Auto watering would be so nice to have. Haven't found an affordable system that fits for me yet.
