FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Well, I'm back to the land of internet. I didn't realize how much I'd miss it I've been offline for the past few weeks as my life was pretty hectic before the wedding, followed by leaving on my honeymoon and spending time in an EXTREMELY remote area of Ontario where I had no cell phone service, and no internet to connect to. It's good to be home Only downside is I have to go back to work tomorrow after 2 and a half weeks off

And I'm happy to report that most of my plants survived their time alone thanks to a capiliary mat. I'll admit I lost a few seedlings, and some of my adult plants are looking pretty sad as they enter dormancy, but all in all I'm happy with what I see in them right now. They'll need a little TLC as they're not in absolute top shape, but they didn't outright die on me

Nope, no faucet. Just use a cut portion of the mat to act as a wick, with half of it under the mat on your table, and the other end dangling down into a bucket of water. The wick pulls the water up to the mat on the table, the mat on the table is designed to pull water to it's edges to ensure the whole mat stays damp as long as the wick is able to suck up water. The mat is amazing- saw it at a specialty store and fell in love.

I will admit with the onset of dormancy it may have kept things a bit too wet, but as I said all my adult plants survived their 2 weeks alone, so now just some minor clean up of early signs of fungus, and my plants are set for winter
