Hi all,
bought my first VFT from whole food the other day because the flower lady was going to throw them out since they aren't of the best of shapes. And I started reading online about these fascinating plants...

Now I want more!!

Anyone have some that you can spare or sale please let me know, I am particularly interest in the larger variety like the DC XL, King Henry..etc

Thanks!!

Thank you Jds, yes Just pulled the trigger on the DC XL...can't wait to receive it. Knowing myself I would love and eventually want to have different varieties and play with the cross-pollination.

King Henry and towering giant is by far my fastest growing plant and the traps are the largest of them all. i just got a young dcxl few days ago so im still waiting for it to acclimate and take off

Yeah I received mine about a week ago (don't even .-.) and it only just started to take off. Just throw it out where it gets at least four hours of morning sun, but not afternoon sun (yet). Expect a few traps to blacken, but you should see new growth starting to come up. I water mine every other day very thoroughly. Never let the LFS dry out!

Hit that thumbs up if I helped you in any way!

King Henry is one of the best giant clones there is.
