Forked Sundew catches Blue Damselfly

The sticky tendrils and filiform leaves of two plants cooperate to catch a big meal. There is no escape.

would coconut husk work as an alternative to peat moss? I read they are pretty similar

[Piranhaboy01]

@hobojoe357 if you use coconut husk you will need to soak it for a while, drain it and then rinse it with clean water until it all runs clear. i heard it could be used but here in Newfoundland, the last thing one will find is said coconut! XD i use pure living Sphagnum moss. you could buy dry Sphagnum moss in nurseries which works excellent

whats the best soil you use on the carnivores plantes?

and anotherthing, if i wanted to have a VFT, is it a good idea to put it in a terrium with brigt sunlight?

Please reply thank you.

@015zx hey, sorry i missed this question. how did you do after? i never, ever grow VFTs in a terrarium. they need to grow out in the air, in very bright light (sunlight is best) and in very wet moss or careful substrate mix.

put it in very bright light - preferably pure sunlight. and keep the moss soaking wet with fresh water

that's about it...

hi

you 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.

peat moss, and perlite

your should just keep it out side(not a terrium)

you can put the top of a 2 litre bottle (without the lid for air to enter) on it. This traps humidity. It always works with me.
