The second part of the Venus Flytrap seed harvest for 2025 is done. The plant(s) they are from are outdoors on a balcony in growing zone 7b. The original plant was divided early spring and this is the most seeds I have ever seen from it.

Whew. I have repotted this exact Venus Flytrap (it started as a single one a few years ago) several times now into larger pots, but this was the first repotting with division as it needed it. I thought it was still dormant (it wasn't). The rhizomes look very healthy and so does the rest of the plant but it might be set back a bit this year, so not totally sure yet if they will still flower this season.

Outdoor over-wintering some of the carnivorous plants in growing zone 7b Germany has been a bit stressful at times this year, especially with some -10 C nights but they seem to be hanging in there so far, even the smaller ones. Once or twice a week I open the portable greenhouses to let in fresh air.

My SWGxG14 #VFT is finally recovering after a rough patch. I didn't give clear instructions to the neighbour and wasn't watered for a whole week that we were away. I thought it was gone for good, but kept watering it just in case. And a few days ago, it finally showed new growth.
Hopefully it'll bounce back to show its giant leaves.

I got flowers coming in with 3/4 of my Venus flytraps!!!
Valencia and Vaughn were my first VFTs I got last summer, but I’m really surprised Valentino is also producing a flower bc I JUST got them in Feb and they are SMOL.

I do plan on attempting to pollinate them if/when the flowers bloom, and hopefully from there I can eventually get seeds and grow some VFTs myself!!!

I suspect that #antimicrobial #plastic might be killing my #venusflytraps and #pitcherplants. Thought I’d use some trays that formerly contained raw chicken breast for “tray system”watering, only to watch previously healthy plants suddenly shrivel and die. I’m guessing they are leaching something like #triclosan or silver nano-particles into the water and stunting root formation.

Anyone else experience this or similar problems starting seeds in reclaimed plastic packaging?

Twice this weekend my dormant adult VFTs have been blown out of their pots 😣
I'll keep them indoors until the storm is over
