Hello.
Similar to my post on the sundew side of the forums I have a few VFTs I'm a little worried about.
The first one in the set of pictures is one that lost all its leaves when going into dormancy. I didn't really do much different with this one, just adjusted how deep it was set in the growing medium at one point. When I pulled them all out from the fridge and repotted, this one still had a healthy white rhizome and fairly long roots for it's size. Now, as you can see, it's not looking so hot. Is it possible the rhizome is dead now, or is there enough for it to come back? This one was part of a clump of ones I bought from a Trader Joe's but it's brothers are doing fine.
Next is the Trictherfalle x Coquillage. This one is kind of little, and I can't tell if it's just not as vigorous as the others or if it's still waking up from dormancy. There's a few traps that have taken awhile to grow and get to opening up, so I'm not sure what it's deal is. It's getting the same amount of light as the others, so while the traps aren't turning red I'm not sure if I just need to shove the grow light closer to them or if it's something else.
Last is the Maroon Monster. This guy was in the fridge with the typicals from late November until earlier this month. I haven't repotted him, so maybe that's the issue. But as you can see, some of the traps are looking a little funky. Again, maybe I just need to repot, or I'm really wondering if it's the deionized water that's throwing the plants I've posted about off.
