Hi there!

My partner and I have been debating on getting a VFT for about six months now and decided to take the plunge - they seem super interesting and fun to grow and he has a serious green thumb (whereas I would like to cultivate one). I just ordered a young plant from the shop and I was reading about their dormancy stage so I decided to join the forums to have more experienced people get me to not kill my poor plant when it arrives. :)

Just remember, no fertilizer/nutrients, keep it moist but not wet, and give it full sun after acclimating it.
