Have you ever rescued a vft before? Well this is the place for that! Share your photos of your rescue(s) here!

All from 1 plant!

Edit: I should mention that I did just get it this year late spring & that this is my first time actually owning VFT. I plan on putting it in the garage.

There are three plants in this one pot. I got all of them from Lowes at different times since spring. They are going dormant now with less light and cold temps in the 40’s. They were doing great outside but may come inside if it gets super cold this winter. One plant has traps an inch wide!!!

Ok, here's mine. I've had them for about five months now...all acquired from Wallyworld back in May 2022. Total contents of four Rocket Farms "death tubes". They have all anticipated the changing season and have started hugging the ground closely.

This is a single plant in a 6" pot. I never separated the plug on this one.
This is a Styrofoam minnow bucket (used for fishing ). It's roughly 12" in diameter (IIRC) and contains the contents of three "death tubes"...three "plants" whose plugs were separated into individual plants. It had a traumatic bottom-plowing done to it by a demonic tree rat soon after all the (some tiny!) plants were separated and planted so I lost a few plants along the way.

Maybe next spring. Mine aren't looking to sharp right now.

Those look amazing @Intheswamp! I wish I had rocket farms VFTs at my Walmart.

Thanks, they definitely look better than they did when I got them. They actually went down hill after I got them, but started getting better once I started refraining from watering them too much!

Wow, the color is great and very healthy looking plant, nice going .

Thanks, nycredneck. They've got a ways to go yet, but they're much better than they once were. They were fair plants when I got them...then they started looking *bad*...really..."bad". I was worried about losing them...leaves turning yellow, brown, black, just unhealthy looking plants. Finally, I backed off on the water. Only during the 100F+/- days did I let water stand constantly in the trays. Once I let the growing medium stay "moist" rather than "wet" they started doing much better! The color I can only attribute to being in our south Alabama sun. If I can successfully overwinter them I'm excited about how they may do next year!
