Reminds me of my own seedlings many years ago. You have a much better variety though. Great job!

Ideal conditions are not likely to always be easily attainable, if at all.

We strive to get as close to ideal as possible, always remembering that it is only an ideal, mostly just in our own imaginations.

Devon, your VFT seedlings make for some very impressive CP eye-candy - Delish!

Thanks Vraev and Dvg.

Here are a few more pics. I'm going to re-pot them soon and try feeding them with orchid fertalizer.. I hope it works out because feeding them bloodworms takes a long time.

Cat hair!

I like the colouration on this one

I'll be interested to hear if you maintain your growth rate using the orchid food foliar.

amanitovirosa:

I decided to put them in the dormancy chamber and re-pot in the spring instead, but I did end up using the fert on them. They grew slightly faster, but not by much. It seems to encourage flowering on sundews.

Since spraying the flytraps didn't have a very noticable effect, I mixed the fertilizer with dried bloodworms and fed it to them. It gave them a great growth spurt. Here's a video I took some time before dormancy:

This plants leaves are almost double in size now!
