Hi All
First time grower and poster.
I have 4 small VFT plants that I have repotted as below. I used a good peat soil and perlite mix and whilst potting I checked the white bulb of the plant and it looked still alive (not squishy or dead etc).
I had a lot of black leaves and dead traps but am getting new shoots coming through.
I try to leave them on my window sill with the open window so they get the morning sun (I live in Sydney so summer time now). I fear the soil is a bit too damp so I am watering (only bottled distilled water) from the bottom every second or third day now.
I have put them under a grow light for a bit when I think they are not getting enough sun (been a bit miserable last few days). I have tried to create the humidity by lightly spraying the leaves with distilled water every so often.
I just need some opinion on if my soil looks too damp or what to do to revitalise them. I assume stil alive based on getting new green shoots.
Any advice most welcome
