> April 9 and 10 USF, in Tampa,US is having their anual Spring Plant Sale.
> At Tampa Bay Carnivorous Club's booth we'll have the healthiest I have
> work with, Venus Fly Traps, transplanted  from tissue culture to 4" pots.
> They are without plastic cover, Red Dragons.  Only foliage spraying them
> with the Uncle Major concoction except at the initial transplant, (I  put 
> some around the roots to start the root hairs.)  But by pouring my salt 
> water into the starter trays twice making their roots wet, no root rot 
> plus no root bitting bugs. After transplant, in the middle of Feb., the 
> trays were covered untill the first day of Spring. They have been under a 
> patio roof outside. We will have nice looking napenthes, and pings too.
> Get there early they'll go fast.  
> 	Still haven't figured how to get the traps to stand up without the
> plastic cups overhead.
