Phoenix Venus Flytrap: Pot-in-Pot Method for Heat Protection

Jason in Phoenix asks about terra cotta vs. pot-in-pot for flytrap. Jeff Dallas recommends pot-in-pot: "Using a terracotta pot does help cool, but I found when you place 'a pot within a pot' it really helps to keep the inner one from overheating." Volume #1 DVD has desert growing chapter.

Good Growing!
