Hi
I posted here awhile ago about dying Venus Flytrap. I went to the trouble of uprooting one of the babies to inspect the rhizome and the roots. There was no a hint of green on the crown at all. I left this poor baby out long enough for the roots to dry up. I thought- what the hey- and planted it again. Today, I noticed green shoots coming up! Amazing!

Wow, that is pretty amazing. These plants are pretty tough though. I've been surprised at some of the abuse they'll take that I've given them.

It's neat to see how much nutrients and energy is stored in the rhizome. After seeing what pullings strike from, I wasn't hesitant to prune damaged leaves.
