Hey everyone, I've been a long time lurker (~6months?) and finally decided to make an account here! After moving here from CA, I decided to start the hobby again with a capensis, since those things are virtually indestructible. Now I have a typical and alba, as well as a U calycifida, and most recently a VFT "pink". I've been wanting to try out my luck with seeds, but we'll see how that goes.

Before getting the VFT, I had them all in a terrarium, but weren't looking so well, partly due to cheap lights, but after getting them all outside and into a bog, they bounced back pretty quickly. Somehow calycifida hadn't flowered until I moved it outside; the leaves burn but more of them come out, so it's not too bad.

Nice to meet you all!
