Hello.
I have some seeds of New Zealand sundews and one Australian sundew that I'd like to trade.
I can only trade for other CP seeds, and only certain ones, as my country has restrictions on this sort of thing. I have limited numbers, so first in first served. The Drosera Arcturi was harvested...
Forecast calls for a high of -1 and a low of -7 celcius. My VFTs are in 6" diameter plastic pots outside. Should I put them in plastic bags to shield them from winds? There is also light snow forecast one night.
