I purchased some VFTs and cape sundews from Lee's Botanical. The red VFT is a red onyx (from tissue culture), and the other two are seed grown common/typical.
Ordered Thursday, shipped Friday and arrived Monday. Well packed in plastic bags. The common VFTs were advertised as medium, and had nice roots. The red onyx was advertised as small, and had a very small root.
I immediatley potted them in a mix of peat (>50%), sand (~30%) and perlite (~20%), but a lot of perllite moved to surface when watering.
Other than 2 typical VFTs i picked up from lowes about 10 days ago, this is my first attempt to grow CPs. Wish me luck!
