FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I got 10 of them! They all arrived perfectly in tact, and there were more plants than I expected in each tube! (5-15) Here's what I got:


And these are the ones I am most excited about:


Seperating and potting them was a hassle, but worth it. especially when they were like this:


And here they are in their temporary home! Hopefully I'll be able to get them outside this year. right now, I have absolutely no indoor space left.


Updates to follow! (Hope Luxiloid doesn't mind me copying his thread)

Nice plants, came in good condition (like always from FTS) Keep us updated on how they do

For some reason this post made me yell "AWESOME!" at my computer screen..

Congrats on the new cultures, Devon.

Super jelly over here, especially over that dutch! Congrats, keep us updated!

Nice that all of the TC tubes made it safely and intact to your location in Canada. The A2, FTS Flaming Lips and DC All Red are also very nice clones (in addition to the ones you are most excited about).

Very nice!

wow nice
they will grow great im sure

Lol @ Veronis

Thanks for the comments everyone! Hopefully nothing goes wrong.

They look like they arrived to you in good condition Devon! Thanks for posting the photos and keep us updated on how they do as they acclimate to "real" life in soil

Nice Plants! Keep us updates.
One question, when do the plants come in tubes

This was a bulk or special order plant purchase, which can be made by emailing sales@flytrapcare.com and inquiring; sterile tissue culture tubes aren't listed in the Store.

Flytraps can be grown in sealed, sterile containers from leaf pullings, flower stalks, or seeds. The tubes/jars/etc. are kept under artificial lights in a gel-like fluid that contains macro- and micro-nutrients, hormones and vitamins, instead of soil. I don't know how long the tubes are kept under lights until they reach the age at which Devon received them; most likely several months. You can often get a large number of small plants out of 1 tube. Once deflasked, the plants must be very carefully acclimated over a period of several weeks, which includes the use of humidity domes or upside down clear plastic bags.

Here's a pic taken by Matt of a flytrap cutting in TC, callousing and starting to grow plantlets:

No wonder I couldn't find them in the FTS lol

Actually, all of our Dionaea clones offered to the international community can be found and directly purchased here:

Nice selection in that order. Looks like they will receive the TLC they need as they harden up.

Thanks fro the replies everyone! Sorry I have been so inactive. Here is an update. They certainly don`t look amazing at the moment, but they will soon.

The traps keep on closing for some reason. Not sure why... either something is wrong with my conditions, or there are spiders crawling all over them! I saw a spider closing a few Dracula traps a few night ago..

sorry about pic quality.

long red fingers




wacky traps


dracula


DC XL is by far the most robust


justina davis also kind of robust.. or just a fast grower


biggest dc all red is quite small. Some of them died.


dutch


all of them


They all look pretty much the same right now, but this fall when their colours and traits show, they will be awwessoomee!
