    Sundew n00b, need a spot of help.

    Drosera adelae come from Southern Queensland so it could be term sub-tropical. It prefer temperature between 20 C and 30 C and unlike most sundew it prefer some shade

    Just got my first sundew

    Don't worry about flowers with a spatulata, once it recovered, it will produce many flowers and lots of seeds.

    What happens next?

    Unless it large bug such as a dragonfly or large blowfly you should not have any problems.The best way to avoid any fungal problem is make sure there is some air movement around the plants.

    Pygmy question:

    Pygmy question:

    Here in Australia we use hand held suction device. All you need is a small plastic bottle (a urine specimen jar is prefect), about 1m (3ft) of clear plastic hosing, some string. and little piece of panty hose. Save alot of time collecting gemmae.

    Drosera burmanii main need is heat, They grow well on 50/50 peat/sand. You don't need perlite. Drosera filiformis 'All red' also like it warm.

    Drosera scorpiodes

    Gemmae is produced by the plants only in winter. I find if the plants are keep too warm in winter, they can fail to produce gemmae. With gemmae I find that they establish best in cool, shady conditions. I will make point of mentioning that a South Australian winter is about same as English...

    Help!  my pygmys are being choked by moss

    Cannot say I had much problems with moss in my pygmy sundew. I grow my pygmy sundew outdoors. Good air movement and lower humdity will stuff up the moss growth, also you get beautiful colouration on your plants.

    Capensis

    True, I found that capensis "alba" (I don't care for albino) tentacles will turn pink in the about same amount light needed to get an 'All red' to colour up properly. With the flower scape it might be idea to cut it off so the plant put it's energy into growing, not flowering.
