You need to grow your VFT under 50% shade. Temperature during the noon time is too hot for vft.

New leaf?... New leaf is usually white/yellowish under the soil. It turns green after receiving light. I hope you are not referring to that. But yes, a photo will be much helpful.

I think it's better you use the Reverse Osmosis Water. Bath it's first to clean/dilute chlorine from the root. Tap water contain lot of toxic are not healthy even for your body.
My VFT are healthy because I use Reverse Osmosis Water.

i use tap water for my VFTs now and they seem to do fine so far.many growers in Malaysia use tap water for CPs and seem good so far.

but i always top water my plants with distilled or RO water once or twice a month to flush out any minerals if there is some

i think as long as the pipe doesnt suffer any rust,the water is good



Thanks comunnity

URL is the link.for example,the URL to the photo is photobucket.com/1123/vftpic/2434.

thats just an example.
first u copy the link to the photo,then when u are about to reply,u click the button with this image [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/hp/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG].
after u click that,it ask u to paste link to image which is URL,then u paste la

Sam,
i suggest you to put your VFT at one place and dont move it though u move it once at night and once in the morning.your VFTs wont be happy if its been move and it wont develope deep colouration(if it suppose to) and big traps(if it suppose to).thats from my experience


Good Luck!
Harris

Yes. Lack of sunlight. Your full sun is not my full sun!

VFTs does not neccesarily need to be in water trays. I never put mine in water trays now because of MOSQUITOES, they actually do very well being watered daily. Just let your water tray dry each day and fill it up again the next day, too much water slows it's growth and root rot will ensue. If possible, a humid environment is a great addition for the plant's healthy life, I put mine on top of my fountain elevated by pebbles
