VFTs under rain.

[Harris Azariel]

guys u got problems when leaving ur VFT under heavy rain?

i dont understand other ppl's vft do fine but mine isnt under heavy rain.a few leaves break,media covered the seedlings..

do u know hw can i solve my problem?

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...

but my vft with leaf wideness around half cm break when rain hits.i saw Lim let his VFT with that kinda leaf in heavy rain and they do fine.

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

Thanks anyways

if the rain hit the traps, then the trap will shut..
is it ok for the traps?

[Harris Azariel]

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..
