No problem for venus flytraps with cold weather.. I have mine in a glass greenhouse. Temperatures in The Netherland got down to -17 degrees. All my pots were frozen last week but no deaths at all of my +200 dionaea

I imagine some of the UK growers are able to export with certification and vice versa.

Congrats.. looks like a winner.. nice looking plants

If i get a lot of moss. I just use long nose tweezers to make a bit of room around the plants.

Do you have any Aurora borealis available at the moment ?

Hi Keep it on the window sill .. It will be fine.. Just ensure that it is not situated directly above a heating unit. I'm in The Netherlands -- had temperatures with my plants outside down to -7 degrees and they made it Water less. keep it damp and water again once the tray has tried out. Remove the dead leaves and traps when they turn black. Don't panic if the plant looks dead ... we all think that in the beginning.

Living in Barendrecht .. The Netherlands ( close to Rotterdam)

Thank you for the feedback

I have recently read of sphagnum white peat .. Is this superior to use than "normal" regular peat moss ? Does or has anybody used this white peat ? Are there any notably differences / advantages when caring for cephalotus ? Thank you in advance Lee

My rainwater is 7ppm .. A safe value is below 50 ppm.. Depends on how you read my message :)

I usually check mine with a tds meter.. Below 50ppm and you are ok.. but saying that i mostly have dionaea.. Not sure how pure the water should be for Sarrs and Cephs.

Try not to place the plant in direct sunlight straight away especially with the heatwave we are experiencing at the moment.. A slightly shaded area would be ideal to start off with.

Thank you.

I have in my collection various Dionaea. What does the abbreviation AF entail ? AF1 / Killer Queen AF7 WIki Purple Trap.. I also have some VFT's withouth the AF prefix ... Google searches and images show the AF name exists but what does it indicate ? DIonaea SL 015 for example is Stefan Lessen..... Thanks in advance Lee
