My VFT receive 9am~2pm or 3pm direct sunlight. Im using water tray for all my VFT, about 1~2cm water level. Media is pure spghagnum or sometime I mixed with perlite.

Re: VFT "clayton red sunset"

Very nice red colouration, KC. Just wonder if it maintain it's red colouration in our climate. If so, it will be nice. It's kind of difficult to keep red VFTs totally red in prolong hot weather. Those red forms from Cameron last time are extremely beautiful:wub:, entire plant in dark maroon colour. But they turned greenish maroon after a while in the lowland weather.:bored:
Please tell us if this one maintain it's colour.
