It really only needs water to thrive. Bugs are just a once or twice a month thing. For some reason mines caught a couple flies in the basement. Don't know how they got down there. Lol

Yea thx. Same here. Thought it might need more lumens, but they're doing ok. What kind of vft are you planning on growing. There are a few strains that get bigger. Mines like I mentioned before is a low giant. The reason for getting this one is, it keeps a low profile and rivals the B52 in size.

Yes those are. They not only catch bugs but also seen one catch a mouse. Very interesting plants.

Although they catch and devour bugs, I'm more of the vft fan because of the actual action of seeing it eat a bug. Are they your plants or just Internet photos. Nice looking plants.
