Growing outdoors or under cover
Hello
Do you think it is best to grow Venus Fly Traps under a plastic roof out of the heavy rain? I heard that they do not grow as well in the heavy rain and rain can set off the traps. I know it can splash some of the peat out of the small pots that they grow in.
I could grow them under a plastic roof in the greenhouse that provides about 40% shade. Would that be better than out in the open in the full sun and heavy rain?
I plan to grow the Sarracenias out in the full sun and rain as they may not be affected as much as the pots are larger and roots are deeper.
I live in the tropics near Cairns in Australia on the Atherton Tableland at 757 meters altitude.
Your help is appreciated.
Regards Richard
