Yes absolutely, they live in the roots, not the leaves, kinda like a bulb. So you could cut it down to groud level and it would grow back. That being said it's best to leave some green floiage on the plant so that it can photosynthesize and thus grow faster
would if be ok to cut the heads off and let them grow back? mine are all messed up when i bought it the traps stay half open and are mangled....would it be possible just to cut them off and the plant will grow new ones????
so is it a GOOD thing wen the plant goes red on the inside or should it go green and is it best to stay on windowsill or outside plz can any1 help all new to me thanks
I had "green traps" and put them outside in the sunniest location I could find and they turned dark red on the inside and outside as well as the teeth.
@theamazingplant2 Yep, which is why I posted a follow up comment... Bu he was rather rude to me when I told him to stop posting his spam on evreyone of my videos. He told me that all my plants look like crap, blah blah blah.
all you vft owners should join the flytrapcare . com community. we can answer all your questions and help you care properly for your vft!! we also have a great section of other Carnivorous Plants.
I didn't grow that plant from seed - I just bought it. If you grow VFT's from seed, it takes a few years to get mature plants. This was probably one plant to start with, but they reproduce by splitting from the roots to form more plants and eventually crowd to fill a pot.
As much direct sunlight as possible. Also, if you put the plant in a place where it does not catch food for a month or two, the traps should turn really red.
If this doesn't work, chances are you have a genetically pale VFT.
@kakozord that's what happened to me. I have bought mine 2 years ago, it was already quite big, gets wasps and other flying stuff often, lots of light, but it never turned even a little bit red
As far as I know (And I'm not expert) some species of Flytrap are MEANT to be all green, and some turn red. So don't worry, it might just be the species of plant you have, you're not doing anything wrong!
I feed mine spiders. The spiders which are a decent size are very fast though, so I pour a little boiling water over them first. Mine began flowering not so long ago, but I dropped some blinds on them stem and it died. Still, I did manage to kill it after I got to see the actual flower.
Great video. I know it takes hours to make a shoot like this. I invite you to see my photos of carnivorous plants: http://www.flickr.com/photos/graif/sets/1324347/
