Hi,
I have just obtained my first few VFTs and have built them a small terrarium out of an aquarium, compact fluorescent lights, timer etc as an initial foray into CPs. I have read the FAQ at www.sarracenia.com but still have a couple of questions.
(1) Is powdered sulphur useful as a fungicide with VFTs? If not, what do you guys recommend? (I have seen discussion about cinnamon & cornstarch but, from what I can understand, the jury seems to be out as to how useful it is)
(2) Since putting my VFTs in the terrarium the (green) traps have turned quite red inside which means, I hope, that the light level is appropriate. Is it possible to give these little guys too much light? If so, what should I watch out for?
please pardon my ignorance!
