Hello everybody!
Thanks to the FAQ about Venus Fly Traps on the Internet, I finally managed
to adapt the Venus Fly Trap from the in-vitro stage to outside conditions
(peat moss and lots of distilled water). I also got advised that I should
not fertilize it. The oldest adapted plantlets may have some 5 month now,
they are in an excellent condition, but they are still as little as half
a dollar-coin. Do they grow so slow or should I nevertheless try to aply
some fertilizer ?
Apreciate your collaboration.
