Post Problems that you might get when buying your VFT online by Bare Root

well just wanna tell to those who dont know bcause if you dont know,the VFT might end up in the garbage although it didnt die yet.this are the things that MIGHT happen:

1.your plant will lose some leaves
2.Your plant traps are all closed and contain blacks on their leaves
3.it looks like dying(looks very wilt)

well this happens bcoz of the dark box(where theplant is packed),shaky ride(the truck that brings that parcel might shake and close the traps), and Uprooting.

After the plant reach your house,DONT give them direct sunlight for about a week.keep them near the window where it can get warm and give them morning sun for 25mins for the whole week.if you really wanna give them sunlight,shade a little like putting a translucent plastic above the pot.

then after a week,try give them 1hour direct sunlight,the second day u give 2hours,and so on until it get use to the direct sun.

btw i forgot 1thing,if u wanna know they died or not,check its rhizome.if it stills white,means the plant is healthy and alive.if it turns brown-black,say bye bye

Hope This Helps
