Hi all. Ive been growing fly traps for a while now and I would consider myself to be quite knowledgeable. But there is one this that still lies fairly unclear for me. And that is how some people manage to get their B52s so red! Now I know there are some theories about what contributes to colouration, but I think for the most part it is still fairly unknown. One year I tried putting some netting around my fly traps to prevent them from catching so many bugs and it indeed increased the colouration. Some people find putting fly traps in a greenhouse typically gives really nice colouration (from humidity or lack of insects I don't know!). I also think the climate itself might have something to do with it (too many factors to count). Or is special artificial lighting the way to go? So if anyone has really nice red fly traps (not only B52) and would like to share on how they achieved the colouration here would be the place!
