Hey guys, I'm new to the forum from Louisville, KY.
I got a VFT on Mother's day from Meijer and left it at my Mother in Law's house on accident. She forgot to water it, I thought it was dead but, thankfully my brother in law checked the roots, repotted it, brought it back to life and then gifted it back to me once it was growing again.
Since then, it started growing some mold for some reason (I was also keeping it inside in my windowsill, it got big red and gorgeous). To keep it from rotting, I obviously reported it and found it was now 3 medium sized plants and one small one.
Fast forward 6 months and i've developed a slight obsession, and I ended up ordering 8 drosera off of the Carnivorous plant nursery. (Typical capensis, marston's dragon, spatulata, intermedia/possibly didn't survive shipping, filliformis, and the other ones are forked I believe)
I bought a very small greenhouse that they're all in and were thriving in for 2 days before an extra cold night seemed to send them all into dormancy.
Now i'm a little bored for the winter, so I had to place and order from Predatory plants and bought a new albino capensis, and a red capensis and red fly trap to go with it.
I'm fairly taken by this new habit. I just requested my first seeds from the bank and am excited to have a go and that.
Thanks for welcoming me to the forum,
Mrs.Banks
