Congrats on your first Flytrap.....its super addicting lol.

Can't wait for that list to grow

Day 13

I am finally seeing some growth! Little guys are sprouting up all over the place. I planted somewhere around 150 seeds in total. I zoomed in on some of the growth:

Day 12

You really have to concentrate, but I found a single bit of growth. I circled it in red so it is more obvious. Of the estimated 50 seeds I planted, I feel good to know at least 1 has a shot!

My Jaws VFT arrived!



I let it soak up some water and get some light to recuperate from the trip:



But then I got too antsy, and had to repot. I officially decided on the name "Sharp-Tooth." I used a peat, perlite, silica sand combo (3:1:2) with a top-coat of dead LFS



I don't know what's going on with that weird looking trap. I think it gives the plant a little added character though

The plant looks good in its new home Starchy!

It looks like it was pushed in on itself just a bit. It should reopen and be OK. But if it doesn't, it won't hurt anything...

Nice list mate! Let's hope it grows huge!

Congratulations on the seedlings and great looking jaws

Yup, the trap righted itself. It half-opened, then was set off (with no catch), then opened correctly.
It doesn't even look like the same trap (it's the only open trap that is large and red):

Thought I would give an update on how my first flytrap, "Fran," is doing. She has come a long way from how she was when I got her from the death cube from Lowes of Wilmington, NC. I didn't take any pics while in the death cube, but the first photo came within an hour of re-potting:



And as dealt with some hardships along the way:



Once I repotted Fran out of the terra cotta pot is when she really took off:





And this is Fran as she is today:

Well done! That's a very nice looking flytrap that is obviously well cared for

Most of the traps on the ones I rescued from death cubes are slowly improving. Glad to know that other people have had success in reviving them! Good work!

Day 11

So the seed in the picture below may have begun to germinate slightly before day 11, but I was away for the weekend and noticed when I came back. The image was taken yesterday, which was 10 days after I sowed the seeds. I am seeing about 25% so far looking similar to the one circled in red:



The image is zoomed in quite a bit for clarity. The white blocks are perlite, and the large chunk of bark on the top is orchid bark. Both were mixed in with peat to complete the medium in this image.

Day 110

Slow and steady won the race. If anyone in here gives up on their seedlings within the first year, they are making a mistake in my opinion. I waited over 4 months with nothing but weeds. I tried my seeds under grow light with humidity chamber, without, under the sun, back under the growlight. Finally, about 90 days from sowing the seeds originally, I have 2 spatulata seedlings, and I suspect more on the way.

Here's how they look (I fed them yesterday, so you may notice some crushed beta pellets on the leaves:
