To take both sides of the argument, money is nothing without happiness but apparently in the world today happiness is nothing and someone is no-one without money....
wow, that sounds pretty cool
Clueless, you really dont have to replant a VFT (just make sure to give it a good drowning in pesticide), doing so is just more dangerous to the plant. Also i know this might sound a bit stupid if you already know, but make sure you have the right soil mix in your terrium and NO FERTILIZER...
Alvin you have no idea how much i want them, Its just impossible to find them here. I think i might talk to my nursery and ask them if they could order some dentes or dragons because all they got are normal VFT.
Shipping out of other countrys aint working for me seeing as shipping usuallys goes...
Ooooh, I had the same type question around here somewhere clueless. Have a look under General Questions.
But just since i have some time, artificial light is MUCH differant from sunlight...obviously. Your plant will require a good 12-14 hours under artificial light to survive. As for height it...
Woops...ok then i'm not even gonna get started trying to find who did. My fly-trap has finished consuming its fly and is slowly re-opening! I'm so proud, go VFT go! If you ignore me long enough i will go away...
Yea, apparently if it hasn't been in the sun for awhile or hasn't eaten in awhile you must slowly introduce these elements to it otherwise it will take shock and possibly die. I read somewhere someone didn't feed his fly-trap for a long time, then gave it 3 or so flys and its traps died. (Maybe...
I'm a step ahead of ya Tony, thanks so much for your advice though. I tested the bulb over-night and figured if i placed a fan on it it dosn't get too hot. I was also a bit worried about the bulb melting the lamp since something in it i saw was plastic. But everything is fine now, i placed the...
You should ask your nursery where your buying then plant from about it. If it is relativly young or started by tissue culture then i dont think it would require the dormancy. You could probably leave it until next winter, but it is possible it may need dormancy and you will probably be able to...
Hmmm, how anoyying. I guess ill just have to hunt for another light. Sun is back out and weather report says it should be out for the whole week which is good, you said that i should have my plant under photo using the light for 12-14hours but how long under the sun? The sun is pretty dam hot...
wow! thanks for all the info Ram, i appreciate it greatly. The bulb i use gets bloody hot, cannot even describe it. I'm not too sure about heat being emmited from the bulb but i put it on for about 5-10 seconds and when i unscrewed it burnt my hand pretty badly (as i didnt wanna drop it)
Ill...
Hey, before someone relplies to my last post i though i would ask another few questions so i don't have to wait so long to get my next couple answers... (yea, im an impatient plant grower...heh)
I bought a flurecent (soz bout spelling) bulb today, it's not quiet what i expected and takes the...
Even though i'm not the most advanced member of this elite group, i've read my share and since i have some free time ill throw in my couple cents. When a plant goes into dormancy it does not stop all processes and sit there. It is still able to grow and photosynthesis (unless fridged). Young...
Thanks for all your help guys, it's greatly appreciated. Mondo and Alvin: Summer temperatures are 23-28 and rarly reach 30, but winter nights get really cold and frost is often if not always present in the morning. So im wondering if its a good idea to keep my plant outside during winter. Winter...
