One of them sprouted!!!!!!!!!!@^%&$&$%#+!!!!
This is a vft seed I got from hollyhock. It sprouted. Only the one though, maybe more will! I'm so excited. How do I protect it? How do I keep it safe? What do I do?!ImageImage

What to do: don’t topwater.

Other things to do: treat it like a regular flytrap and feed the first trap it produces

Congrats!

Don't give up. I have 3 pots of VFT seeds going, with the first sprout about 5 weeks ago in the first pot.
I thought that was it, but some seeds are just slower. The other 2 pots put up sprouts a couple weeks apart. But the first pot just put up a new sprout a few days ago, almost 5 weeks later.
Keep your eye on them.

Thanks. I've got five seeds total that have sprouted and have micro traps. Nothing else has grown in the other pots. But I'll hold out hope.
