FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

When I first posted, I had only rescued the one VFT from the Lowe's cube. About a week later, I went back and got one of the bigger kits, and went ahead and got the second one that looked dead. They cut it down to $0.50, so I really wasn't out much if it died. I wish now I had taken pictures of it, as the poor VFT wanted to live: I opened the package, and it was trying to grow new traps out the side of the rhizome! They were only about 1/4" long when I got it.

When I got home, I repotted, potted up the "dormant" ones that were in the plastic bag (it was supposed to be a Sarrcenia and a VFT, but I ended up with two VFTs. ) and so far, they are all doing great! In the pot with the "dead" VFT, I even have a hitchhiker, a Darlingtonia seedling that apparently fell in there accidentally, and has germinated outside, as I now have all of my plants (except seedlings) outside. It seems to be doing well, so I'm going to leave it there and see how it does growing directly outside. Otherwise, I have PLENTY of others inside that are germinating all over the place if it doesn't make it.

Here are the pics of everything:

Looks like they are starting to send up new growth, nice save!

Looks healthy.
