Ouch......never thought vft can bear with that temperature...amazing....

[piscesilim]

No. VFT won't grow well at the temperature according to my experience. I grow my VFT under 50% shade cloth. The max. temperature is 42 degrees Celcius.

Yikes! Is it that hot back in Penang now..? Hope my CPs are ok..

[piscesilim]

Well. Our country always that hot if without shade at the noon time. However, afternoon room temperature still 30-33 degrees Celcius.

Thanks for sharing Lim, our max temperatures here is 37C and change, this is maximum temp in the city reported by weather branch, but I have not yet measured actual temp in my garden myself.

I have recently lost my one and only Cephalatus, maybe from the heat or maybe from too much water in the water tray, I am not too sure. Neps that died, Bellii 2pcs. and one other nep that I can't remember just now.

Lim, do you put water tray for your Sundews? And what is your main potting mix? Reason I ask is my cocopeat dries up quickly so I use water tray.
