Hello,
I just ordered 40 seeds pack listed at
http://www.flytrapcare.com/store/carniv ... -trap-seed
and I am excited about starting this project.
I remeber seeing flytraps offered in the old Johnson Smith catlouges.
Bought one a long time ago when I lived in the Phillipines, I am sure it went thru some
shipping hell. No info with it, it died pretty fast, or may have been dormant.
How many of the round ziplock containers pictured at
http://www.flytrapcare.com/growing-venu ... seeds.html
would I need for 40 seeds?
If it would take several could I use one larger container with same
spacing of holes?
So far I have these items, please let me know if any look wrong, as in
they might have nutrients, or something else that my cause the TDS to
be too high.
These will be under florescent light or indirect sunlight.
I plan on washing the rocks in soap, good rinse in city water, and then
wash in distilled water. Then I will soak them in a bucket of distilled
water and check the TDS of the water after 12 hours? 24 hours ?
I do have a TDS meter.
Definatly need to order my perlite online, only miricle grow
type here.
I got my supplies after watching the video here

After watching the video again, my rocks look much bigger
than the ones in the video
I would like a big tight cluster of traps like in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjLJlwEl3_g
Will 40 seeds do this? how close together do I need to plant them
to get a dense cluster like that?
I have some Sunshine Mix #1, can it be used instead of the 50/50 peat/perlite ?
I may be tied to the bowl size in the picture, as this is a project I will be doing
with my father over at his home. How many seeds do you think it would take to
for the bowl in the picture?
Perhaps 40 seed would be enought for 2 projects? One in the bowl pictured and a
second in something else with more depth for roots as is suggested in the beginers guide
on this site.
Thanks for taking time to read this, and thank you to all involved in keeping
this site and forum up.
