VFTLance <3 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hi Guys! Cause its been such a lovely day today I've been out taking lots of pics of my plants and just thought i would share a few with you =) Enjoy! (Not Carnivorous i know, but I've noticed quite a few of you grow Lithops alongside your CPS so thought i would share =P) This is the VFT that gave me my forumn name =P Lance, hes not looking so great at the minute but im hoping he will pick up soon, any idea why? I've only had my Heli for 5 months but im very happy with its progress at the minute =D the last one i had died suddenly and i was pretty gutted so couldn't resist getting a new one =P Thats all for now =P Sorry they're so large, i have no idea how to make them smaller =P Hope you liked my plants =) Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Great looking plants Sarah, thanks for sharing. I guess the VFT is just coming out of dormancy, some of mine look very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you =) I'm hoping so, i recently moved my greenhouse to the top of my garden where its sunny pretty much all day and gets very warm inside so i'm hoping that will help the growth a bit more =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Anderson Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Wish I could grow heliamphora like you, they just don't seem to like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexa Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Good looking plants. For the VFT, I know this isn't what most growers would say, but VFT's don't like perlite. I read in Slack's book that he never used it, and recently when I've used it, I've seen a decline in health of the plants in my collection. Could be worth repotting it and use some lime free sand. Cheers Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Hmm interesting about the perlite Alexa. I think that topic warrants a thread of its own, can you split the thread? Edited May 31, 2013 by Richard Bunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattynatureboy44 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Nice plants Good looking plants. For the VFT, I know this isn't what most growers would say, but VFT's don't like perlite.

Cheers Alex. Interesting, they also seem to grow well in pure peat as long as it's a good brand of peat. I potted a community bowl of a few Venus Flytraps back in June 2011 in pure peat and just left them alone they have done really well and overtaken the bowl and I have never repotted them and always let them flower and sit in water. I may try a few potted clones in pure peat to see how they do when I repot.
