FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi! I just received my new sawtooth! Pretty amazing color and despite with its small size, they look like they had been eating some insects that thrives in the moss they come with. Also, it came with its my new D. filiformis.

Quick question guys, I will be gone for almost a week. Now I cannot trust my flatmate with them as he almost killed my plants before (i saw him leaving a piece of steak in the plants!). Now there is this thing about moist not wet, especially for the flytraps. I was wondering if it would be better to leave a decent amount of water in a tray while I am gone? And any other tips possible for my other plants?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Oli

If they are outdoors you can let them sit in about an inch of water.

Don't let it dry out.

I would err on the side of too much water for a week and deal with any aftermath fallout rather than let it dry out after 1 day and die.

Thanks for the tips. I just got back and my sawtooth had another sprout emerging!
