I will keep this short since my buffer is somewhat restricted.
I have a VFT which a week ago the leaves grew limp and somewhat yellowish. some turned brown.. eventually the plant died and the roots were brown and slimey.
this is what I did:
upon purchase: repot in 10gal aquarium with 50/50 peat
moss and sand.
cover tank 3/4 way with plexiglass.
used r/o water, a gro lamp situated
3feet above tank, \
One thing I did not do is clean the roots completely from the original potting material used by the company. Is that necessary?
also with an analog therm./barometer I measured the temp/ humidity
the temp ranged from 65 to 85 and humidity from 50% to 90%
P.S. I am in Texas growing my VFT indoors. Sorry about the choppy message
if anybody has any helpful hints or advice I would be forever endebted to you.
:) Thanks
