my local Lowe’s got a shipment of VFTs in recently. I couldn’t go home without one... I wanted to save them all





It’s in a tray of water and under light now. I’ll repot it soon

I'm the same way. Everyone I go there, I wince. My store keeps them in an area with no actual sun. They use heavily chlorinated water, and they stay in that box. I think I'm at 15 or 20 rescues now.

Same with ours. They’re indoors with the closest light being 20ft or so above them

Will do. I’ll see what I have when I change the soil in a couple months

Thanks! Don't forget me lol. How do you deal with the water requirement differences in the plants?

I don’t lol. Everything gets the same light and water. There were a couple types of sundews that weren’t taking the dormancy conditions well so I removed them. All the VFT and pitcher plants are still in there and right now I’m cold, low water, and lower light.

I did lose one plant this past summer

Yeah, I was thinking the sundews required more water, so how was it balanced. Do you bring them in for the winter? I need to look up directions for a bog garden.
