petesredtraps Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 A lot of my VFTs are looking really crap this year.They don't look ill, but their growth is poor with small traps.The substrate they are in is only just over a year old, so it shouldn't be a re-potting issue. Could it simply be another poor summer? Just wondering if some of you are in the same boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hi Pete I let half of my plants flower this year year so most aren't looking too great, the rest seem to be doing ok though - maybe not quite as good as last year but we had a great April last year which gave them a good kick start to the season I think. Where are you keeping them?? Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul O'Keeffe Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I only have the one (more to follow) but in the greenhouse it is looking amazing (avatar is one trap). It could be your growing conditions. As heather asked, where do you grow yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLATINUMVFT Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I let 2 flower and they are growing like it never happened. Great for me. My VFT are outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul O'Keeffe Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Mine flower only because I'm not usually there when they do. I would cut those off though as the flowers to be aren't anything to write home about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
