Last time I had a VFT, I'm sure now I killed it with tap water.
Now back to try it the right way after reading this web site.
Bought a small one ffom the FlytrapStore, arrived Feb 13th, very nice looking.
I babied it for the first 2 weeks in front of a South facing window, then put it outside for son Sun light.
Live in the S.F. Bay area & we were having a cold spell, so took her in for the night. Now I just leave her out all the time.
But a question, we are getting some rain this week, she is on a table that doesn't drain all that fast, worried that sitting in water to much can do harm, but not sure. Should I put her in a cup to raise her out of the standing water?
Also bought another at Lowe's for $5, info said it needed to be in a terrarium with a light. I put it in a cool storage area for a few days & then put it outside with the other one. Can't tell if took unkindly to that, but its also sitting in standing water. It is my cheap experiment, love to see it grow this Summer.
