I only leave some big plants under rain.
Tropical rain drops are too harsh for seedlings. Fine drops carried by wind are ok. My solution... keep it protected under roof...

i think i need to put a plastic transparent roof above them.

Thanks anyways

nothing bad will happen to the trap.it will reopen a day or two if no food in it.

i need to make a minigreen house to protect my VFTs from direct heavy rain.

so if the traps triggered by rain, nothing bad will happen?
because they said if we trigger the traps so often, it will loose sense and a few days later it will die..

I dont think Vft habitat has really heavy rain tho... Or maybe they're protected by long grasses and Sarracenias :P
