Interesting changes in a VFT

[insectivore]

VFT's can only take 1-2 bugs a month on a regular basis more will cause problems... Can't quite remember were I read that...

barry's faq says that "U can overfeed a flytrap" causing all leaves to blacken and weaken it.

cutting lids of your plants??? thats crazy lol i never heard of such a thing, u must have a wild collection syble, and u must also be the other headhoncho buddy worned me about lol playin
im also a fan of VFT,z but i have a fairly small collection, if the pots r big enough will all flytraps grow together under same conditions???

[vraev]

what do u mean together? Each plant is unique. they may be under varying amounts of stress. Hypothetically, if all the variables (incl stress, root length and health) are all equal, then you should be able to get the plants growing at the same rate.

I don't know if this answers your question....but just in case, if you were asking about growing 2 or more fltraps really close, YES! flytraps can grow very very close to one another. They adapt and put their leaves as needed. However, do remember that if they are too close, there will be a competition for resources and the plants may not be growing as well as if it would if it had been placed alone.

As for conditions yes all VFT's grow under the same conditions...

no that answers my question somewhat, what i have going is a large B52 that appears to be doing what its suppose to and also a redragon which has reduced in size considerable but is growing many new traps right now, i htought that maybe it was cause i had them in the same pot about 6 inch away from eachother, but im not sure.
what i wanna do is bundle up many diffrent breeds of VFT in one big pot so that there are many diff colors and variety to look at instead of caring for each individually, u know what im sayin? its been a long day, i believe i got to eager about this plant thing and prob make myself look foolish by rushin in, sooo my plan now is to just start with VFTs this year, i would like many diffrent varation and one Unique which i can give extra care, if anyone knows or has any VFT's that there tryin to get rid of i will fork out some dough

[insectivore]

Well I'm not sure about 6 inches 4 would do fine... Unless you wanna make REALLY sure...
