Plants - Venus Fly Trap Diary - Germination stage

Hi Blog,

I forgot to update you something! Those vft seeds are germinating!!! It took them more than three weeks to germinate! 

growing stage of seedling
At least they can germinate from peat moss but personally I had tried to sow them on spaghum moss and felt they will germinate better. Problem of sowing them on peat moss is the algae will grow faster than they germinate. So what I do, I covered the pot with a thick cardboard to block the sun, that will reduce algae growth. 

After they germinate, they will need light. So I removed the cover. Thanks God they don't mind the algae at all. 

Will keep posting as time goes.
