The "little one" when home with it's mother.
My granddaughter (and entourage) came by the house today and she carried her trap and some distilled water home with her.
I reinforced some care points to her and we settled on a place to put it at her house (subject to change). But it should get direct sun from shortly after sunrise until an hour or two past noon. We'll see how that works and go from there. She seemed proud to be carrying it home.
I continue to be so, so weak, though. I made the trip to the closest TSC and got the only bale of sphagnum peat moss they had and I already had gotten a couple of bags of perlite so I'm good to go with re-potting and for upcoming seed planting. I, of course, had to go by Wallyworld for a couple of things *and* while there I had to check and see if they had any live fly traps. I think I need an intervention.
The traps were rather ragged at this Wallyworld but *somehow* a couple more followed me home.
Seriously, somebody *must* be in charge of these garden departments that can do a better job of taking care of the plants.<sigh> Anyhow, I got them home, liberated them from their tubes, and watered them. I've got them along with the other two recent rescues sitting in a window getting use to actual light. I'll give them all a couple of more days and then move them outside for some direct sunshine...they get just a little direct sun for maybe an hour in the windowsill. When does Wallyworld quit selling fly traps...I need to wait until then before I go back there!!!!!!!!
I'll be re-potting these newcomers in a week or so. I figure I'll let them get a little stabilized from being in the shade and maltreated before I subject them to more stress.
Seems I'm going to be planting some sundew seeds soon and thanks to those involved and for all the information everybody has been giving me! I'm sure I'm going to be having plenty of questions.
But, for now...it's bedtime for this Bonzo.
