Hello flytrapcare community!!
I want to make sure i'm going to do the right thing when getting VFT seeds from the flytrapstore!=D
1 step: i will use a 12 inch bucket, i will fill it to the top with a mix of silica sand, and peat moss.
2 step: i will try tissue culture in some seeds( i know they're fresh is just for trying), other i will put them directly, and i will try the water method, from adam(i think that's his name).
3 step: because i want to keep record on how many seeds germinate, i will use toothpicks with a number on each, so i can see which seeds germinated, i will place every individual seed in the 12 inch bucket with the toothpick #.
4 step: the peat moss is going to be really wet, and everyday i will use a spray thing with rain water to make sure the humidity stays high, i will keep it in a warm place, and also i will give it indirect sunlight from the afternoon, but only about 30 minutes each day(it enters through my window)( does anyone recommend more time?(temp here is rising to 95F everyday, in the afternoon), i will use a small fan that works only with a small solar panel, so that new air can flow!!;D (and to conserve energy with the solar panel) so i will use it only in the afternoon the 30 mins.), i don't usually put the air conditioner on, so that will help because is always warm inside, and outside in my balcony, to help them germinate fastar.
5 step: when most of them germinate i will still spray them for about 15 days, then i will start reducing a little bit of water, but still giving it a lot of humidy(that's just to reduce the chance of root rot from the small seedlings), then i will start by giving them about 45 minutes of indirect sunlgiht, then 50, 1 hour......etc for another 15 days, then i will start with direct sunlight, but only the morning sunlight, i will give them 45, then 50,1 hour...etc, for about 5 days, then i will give them direct sunlight from 7am-12pm(is this ok?).
That's pretty much my plan, if you want to give me any recommendation please tell me, i want to improve my method, or even trying a better method.
Thanks!!!! Can't wait to have some VFT seeds in my hands !!!=D
