Plants - SG VFT Survivor Clones - 1st Update

Hi Blog,

It has been two months since I got my VFT - SG Survivor Clones from D (link). It is not a new cultivar but clones that can endure harsh weather in SG. All credit to D.

06 Feb 2018 - These VFTs just soak under 12 hours LED lighting. I was hopeful in the beginning but my curse seemed like doesn't end in the past...

Below are pictures of how they looked like after growing them for two weeks upon purchase.

I pot them in a plastic ware to hold water so that I won't need to water everyday.

02 Feb (L) and 16 Feb (R) - Dionaea Muscipula - Burbank Best

Dionaea Muscipula - Burbank Best seemed like growing well. I have no problem with this cultivar.

02 Feb (L) and 16 Feb (R) - Dionaea Muscipula - Big Mouth

Dionaea Muscipula - Big Mouth seemed like growing smaller traps... What happened to you? :(

Dionaea Muscipula - Fine Tooth x Red looked better and strong. It's reddish trap is like screaming for attention!

Dionaea Muscipula - Red Piranha seemed happy :)

02 Feb (L) and 16 Feb (R) - Dionaea Muscipula - Wacky Trap

Dionaea Muscipula - Wacky Trap seemed slow and not much new growth, but many traps started to die off...

Drosera Lanata

D saw the pictures and he suggested the VFT should place nearer to the LED light so that they will receive most of the light spectrum.

I tried to put a few jars to level up the height but not stable setting.

======================================

End of Feb, I noticed new problems...

The newer traps got black mold.

I wondered why this was happening and concluded, the airflow in my growing area was still and high in humility that will encourage fungi settling, then I installed a temporarily fan to create an airflow. I also cut the mold traps so that they won't spread further.

After few days later, they improved!

I bought a typical big VFT to test the LED light if that light really help to grow VFT?

I also bought some Pinguicula Primuliflora with Live Moss, will start a test sooner.

Here are some mini updates about my SG VFT survivor clones' growth, hope they will continue to grow.
