Cultivation and Hardening from Tissue Culture: Your Dionaea 'FTS Towering Giant' arrives planted in soil within a convenient 5x7cm tissue culture cup, ready to transition into its new environment. For successful acclimation:

• Gradually open the cup lid over a 2-3 week period to help your plant adjust to lower humidity.

• After acclimating, gently transplant into a suitable carnivorous plant substrate, typically a mixture of sphagnum peat moss and perlite or silica sand.

Care Tips:

• Avoid fertilizing; traps capture insects naturally for nutrients.

• Provide a winter dormancy period (5°C-12°C) with reduced watering to support healthy growth cycles.

• Feed sparingly, no more than once every 2-4 weeks.
