Hey fellas. My flytrap seeds germinated about 3 weeks ago and now most of them have 2 small green leaves about 5mm long with no trap leaves formed yet. Theyre in the garage on a window sill covered in cling rap with holes poked in it. Its very hot and humid in there, the outside temps this week are pretty hot about 30 degrees celcius. They dont get alot of direct sunlight, mostly indirect on the window sill and im wondering when should i move them so they get more direct sun light? Thanks guys this forum rocks. :)

Once they've germinated, I usually take them out of the bag (or out from under the cling wrap in your case) and give them good sunlight. The elevated humidity is simply to aid in the germination process.

You probably don't want to place them in direct mid day sun if it's hot out, but give them a couple of hours of direct sunlight in the morning or evening and they'll appreciate it.
