Default Re: Something Wrong with my Venus?

I'm not too experienced with cobra lilies but I think they prefer cooler conditions than other temperate Cps do. In your conditions, It probably wouldn't do as well. If you're able to get a cobra lily, you could grow it in a terrarium under grow lights for better results. The soil mixture should drain well; gravel, LFS, and live sphagnum are good mediums.

I've also heard that some people put ice cubes on the surface of the soil to keep their cobra lilies cool on hot days. It might help to try that.


Good luck
