The nearest Lowe's is about an hours drive from my house. It's an every-other-Saturday ritual for me and the wife to head over there and check out the "bargains." Much to my wife's chagrin, these trips always include a stop by the carnivorous plant shelf. This time I limited myself to only plants I didn't have in my collection. Luckily, they had a Sarracenia rubra... a new one for me!
I let the plant acclimatize to the ambient humidity before transplanting. I watered it heavily during this time. After a few days I freed it from its cube. Here are some pictures...
Wait... did you see that?
Sure enough, this little guy had survived the drowning he endured after I first purchased the plant. I guess he go crammed in the bottom of the pot by accident and was seeking the light through a drain hole. He was definitely part of a separate root system. Here's a picture after excavation.
Including this little guy, I ended up with three plants from this $5 cube. That's almost as good as the 5 VFT I found in a $5 clearance cube at Lowe's! Finally, here's a picture of them potted up.
Any body else ever see this with the Death Cubes?
