Hi, my name is Andrew. I came across this forum through a comment on r/SavageGarden and am glad I did! I got my first VFT on a whim a little over a year ago when I came across it on the Lowe’s GTFO shelf. I have an indoor veggie garden that was overrun with fungus gnats at the time and thought it might be a nice addition to all of the sticky traps plastered around my pots. It of course was no help with the infestation, but it got me pretty fascinated with CPs! A few months back I brought in a bunch of mixed VFT seeds, some d. capillaris (Emerald’s Envy and Long Arm) and d. filiformis (typical and red.) I’ve got tons of adorable little VFT seedlings now and some happy rosettes hanging out in my grow tent. The filiformis hibernacula are chilling out in my attached shed with my first girl for the winter - excited to see them liven up come springtime! Looking forward to more learning and collecting. Cheers!
