Hi everybody! Ive been coming to this forum off and on for months for all the excellent info and finally had to jump thru the hoops to get on board for a question and maybe to help out when i can. I live in Elk Grove Ca near Sacramento my question is how long should i keep my VFT in the shade outdoors before introducing them to direct Californian sunshine? I give it direct morning sun but is kept in indirect light for the rest of the day. I bought my vfts from walmart they were withering away by the cash register so i bought all that i could in hopes of saving them.. Repotted them in a 50/50 peat/perlite mix and water them every other day with distilled water. They seem to be in shock cause the trap wont close on a hand caught fly i maimed and drugg along the inside of the trap. Total of 4 plants and showing new growth just not very quickly.
