Allexperts,

I took these roots cuttings a while ago.   I followed the instructions on 2 volume of Carnivorous Plants dvd.   When do I begin trying to introducing the plants to lower humidity.  I have attached a photo of the plant  attached to the roots to this email.  I have some of the roots growing vertical and some growing horizontal.   Thank you for your time.

Growing info.
Species= D. Multifida Extrema
Water= Distilled
Growing a Humidity dome like terrium to get roots to form plants.
lights = CFL lights on a 12 hour time.

Hi Weylin,

You need to wait until these plants are larger before hardening them off.  They need a sturdy root system.  I would give them at least another 3 weeks.  Once you have leaves that are a little taller you can start that process.  At this stage they are still pretty delicate.

Good Growing!
