FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi again,
I have posted about these flytraps before, and they were doing alright. However in the past few weeks the leaves have started to turn brown. I am not sure if this is the old leaves dying off, a "futher down the road" sign of the stores not using distilled water to water them, or an effecting of keeping them in miracle grow soil for a day or two before I transplanted them into Premier peat moss.

From what I can tell the new growth looks fine and healthy, but I just wanted to make sure something isn't wrong with them. Also, can anyone tell me if these are both "typical" flytraps or could they be different cultivars?

thanks

That would be my guess. Also, repotting will cause a flytrap to lose older leaves.

And the new growth looks moderately healthy, but the plants would benefit from more light.

I would like to give them more light, but the weather has still been getting down to the 50s at night so I was hesitant to move them outside.

50s at night shouldn't bother them. New growth looks good!

I put the flytraps outside right now. Would any of these other plants be able to go outside too with 50 degree night temps?
I have:

Dana's delight sarracenia,
Drosera Capensis alba,
Drosera Spatulata,
Drosera Adelae,
Pinguicula Moranensis,
and a tropical Pitcher plant.

I am assuming the tropical should remain inside until summer, but would the Dana's Saraccenia, Drosera spatulatas, and drosera intermedia specfically be alright outside?

I wouldn't hesitate to move all of those outside except maybe the tropical pitcher plant. Also, remember to put them somewhere mostly shady at first so they don't get too badly sunburned.

Your ping looks awesome!
