I would try to give them a good dose of Superthrive. I 5 big pots of =
VFTs that grow outside all year long (they get from 4-5 hours of full =
sun a day). Also, I grow them in a peat/sand mixture and they seem to =
love it. My guess is that the moss is drying out too fast ... I keep my =
VFTs very wet.

I just moved a couple of weeks ago home from college (from which I just=20
graduated :) ) and decided I'd try to get my VFTs outside to get real=20
sunlight instead of 50 watts of artificial grow light. Within a couple=20
of days, they've turned more and more yellowish. I grow them in 100%=20
live sphagnum which is doing fine, so I know the distilled water I use=20
isn't to blame. I've tried growing them in a screened in porch for a=20
while to get them out of the direct sunlight and thought I'd slowly let=20
them adjust, but they're not adjusting. I even cut off their flower=20
stems. :( They only thing that they seem to be doing well is catching=20
insects (I've even had to get them off the ground because they were=20
depleting the ant population :)).
If anyone can direct me as to how to get them to turn back to their old=20
shade of green while growing outdoors, I'd be grateful.
Thanks.
