FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I planted this little off-shoot so that I could have something to watch grow during the winter besides the pullings and seedlings. It should be fine to skip dormancy when it's still so little. Funny thing about this tiny plant is that it is getting such intense light for about 16 hours a day that it's traps have turned so dark, they appear almost black! The other sign of a happy plant is the fact that it seems to be sprouting it's own off-shoot! Look closely at the center of the plant and you will see a tiny trap poking out. I'm guessing that the new offshoot is deep and only the trap has reached the surface so far.
You can see a mosquito corpse in one of the traps in this shot.

Cool! Thanks for sharing the photos. I've had the same experience with the blood red traps when growing under artificial lights. I've never had redder traps than those grown under artificial lighting.

Andy,

Great pictures, thank you for sharing!

Yeah, those photos are a little large, but I don't want them to make the entire post stretch out as wide as the photos, so that's why I only show about 800px of width. It's pretty easy to right click on the image and say view image, but the best thing to do is resize them before uploading.
