My King Henry x OP seedlings are doing absolutely amazing and seem to be growing fast! I had a 100% sucess germination rate with these 10 seeds! I’m super happy to see what new variations they might have! When they are more mature, I still won’t call them a certain cultivar b/c I know that it’s not an exact one! Thanks to KK! Side note: should I re pot them to get the algae growth off the media?

Awesome!!! Congrats. Those are looking great!!! I’m glad they germinated and are growing for you. Great job.

I wouldn’t worry about the algae/Cyanobacteria. It won’t hurt them since they are that big already. You could always put a top dressing of pure sand on the soil and that will knock it out pretty well.

Okay, I didn’t know if it would hurt them or not since they were small but the sand on the soil is smart!Thank you again!

Nice seedlings! I wish my attempts at VFT seeds lasted as long as yours.

Thank you! And also, I’m quite surprised that they lasted this long! Last year I tried and only 1 survived to the size they are now! Just gotta keep trying!

Nice!

You must be the VFT whisperer to have such large plants after only a month...

Hahaha thank you! I give them lots of light with my one plant light and I keep them humid and warm. I will soon need to start to acclimate them to less humidity but I’ll wait just a little longer! This is only my 2nd time trying to grow Venus flytraps from seed!
