FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi Guys, i'm Ronnie. Living in Dundee, Scotland. 19 years old and at University doing Biomedical Science.

Got my first VFT kit today after searching everywhere locally for seeds or plants and found literally nothing. So i've settled for this. I doubt it will grow but i'll give it a try until i can afford some seeds or a plant.

Nice forum here and i hope people can help me when needed and i'll contribute help where possible.

Cheers, Ronnie!

That's awesome man! But if you want seeds you could ask for some in the "Seed Bank" section during the summer. Just give it a try man you'll never know it might grow! Just remember to use Pure water (Rain, R.O, or Distilled) water stay away from Tap or bottled water for they may harm or kill your plant!

Hi Allen! Thanks for the warm welcome.

I'll give it a go and see what happens.. Yeah i've posted in that sectiopn although i don't really think i'll get a response as most plants have already flowered and are going inot dormancy.. Was just to see if anyone had spare ones kicking about..

I've been using Distilled water.. I just take it from the labs, they have galleons of it..

How long should i wait for these seeds to start germinating? Theve no doubt been sitting on a shelf for a good few months..

Cheers!
Ronnie.
