Thank you so much @kimguy 😍😍 idk anything about harvesting seeds @PunkyKy I was told I could go ahead and put the flower stem now. However do I need the flowers to dry up or anything? "Once the flowers open and close you can go ahead and cut them and put them into a paper envelope to finish trying" is that the correct thing to do?

No let them dry up on the plant and then harvest them.

What's the difference between leaving it on the stem vs cutting?? Just curious @PunkyKy

comment
PunkyKy

I just think that they develop better...any I have ever gotten....have still had the stalks on them. But I would have to do more research to tell you for sure....thats just the way I have always harvested them

PunkyKy

All i know is the seeds come.after the flower dry up....ive always harvested them after the flower.is gone and the pods are dried up. The seeds are very very tiny...like dust. I have some I'll take a pic and tag you in it.

I'm with @hannahchristine they like the moisture....cauae it stays constantly moist under there...rhats where they like to hide....i don't think they are harmful to your plants....but if you want...spray a little neem oil around the bottom of your pot.....but follow directions of neem oil to the T!

As far as I've known/seen these go in bogs open air. They seemingly do best when they have open air to catch bugs.

They are wet in the moss but no the plants themselves aren't wet. It's a very sticky nectur that traps bugs so the plant can eat them 😍😍😍😍 @veepaisal
