FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Nice plant! Wally has a cool charm about it. I have one I got in the fall and its ridiculously small lol. It's adorable. Gave it a MAJOR upgrade for this season so I hope to see the little guy make some moves.

Yay! Josh finally got a plant from us And a Wally at that -- it's a vigorous and colorful low-growing plant that will likely fill that pot this year with good care!

Enjoy

Fluorescent light is always an option but the challenge of growing under lights for the long term is extreme. It's far easier to grow outdoors, particularly in Texas. If you don't want your brothers messing with your plants maybe you should build a little cage and lock it to keep them out!

Great looking plant, can’t wait to see it grow.

No need to apologize to me as it's your plant! Leah wouldn't be happy though!!

If you had plans to repot it, you should have emailed us and we could have shipped it bare root for you. It would have saved you $5 too.

What's the other 25%? It looks a little dense (too peaty) for my growing technique but everyone has their own preferences.

It does have new growth coming out, so hopefully it will continue to grow just fine now as long as you don't repot it again soon.
