It was a beautiful day yesterday. The weather was finally warm enough for some of my vft to go outside.

I put mine out for a while, but Mother Nature said "Bet!" and sent more freezing temps. They were low enough that I had to put them back in the garage for a week.
They're back out now, hopefully until fall.

This past month was horrible in Maryland. It would be 75° one day and then a low of 23° the next. The vft I had outside are brown mush on top. They’ll recover around May, but they’ll look like total poo until then, lol.

Don’t be discouraged. They only look good because they were indoors under lights with biweekly Maxsea sprays. The traps I had outside look like death and will look like crap until May. Just remember people tend to take pics of their plants when they think they look nice. I’ll add a pic of some of my outdoor traps that I keep in a styrofoam cooler. This is from over a week ago. They look even worse now because there was freeze while I was away and couldn’t cover them.

oh okay thanks
