Question
Allexperts,
)
I took these roots cuttings a while ago. I followed the instructions on 2 volume of Carnivorous Plants dvd. When do I begin trying to introducing the plants to lower humidity. I have attached a photo of the plant attached to the roots to this email. I have some of the roots growing vertical and some growing horizontal. Thank you for your time.
Growing info.
Species= D. Multifida Extrema
Water= Distilled
Growing a Humidity dome like terrium to get roots to form plants.
lights = CFL lights on a 12 hour time.
Hi Weylin,
You need to wait until these plants are larger before hardening them off. They need a sturdy root system. I would give them at least another 3 weeks. Once you have leaves that are a little taller you can start that process. At this stage they are still pretty delicate.
Good Growing!
