    Mixed up feelings with growing Sarras

    Got it. Will mix with perlite, then. Should I do it this autumn or in spring? Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk

    Mixed up feelings with growing Sarras

    Nothing more. I assume that you're looking for something that might change the ph? The thing is, but there is not the time to discuss now, that no sarracenias have grown to me. Not even when i let them in their pot (assuming they had the right soil) Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk

    Mixed up feelings with growing Sarras

    The media is not sphagnum peat moss but regular peat moss with 3.5-4 ph and no added fertilizers. I've also flushed it thoroughly with water below 40ppm. They have been transplanted this spring, after getting out of dormancy. The soil worked for droseras and nepenthes, although my vft grew...

    Mixed up feelings with growing Sarras

    Romania. We get around 35-40*C in the summer. Right now the temperatures are enough to trigger a vft's dormancy little by little (around 10-14*C during the day, 5-7*C during night) and we currently had loads of rainy days. I must say that I was never able to grow a Sarracenia almost at all and...

    Mixed up feelings with growing Sarras

    Hey guys, My sarracenias have grown very little during this year (like in all years until now) and now that the autumn came, they started growing and developing pitchers. What could I go wrong with? Is it possible to give a sarracenia too much sun? The water I use has below 50ppm tds and I've...

    Drosera overload

    Hey, sorry for the late response. The moss just grew with the peat moss. It's currently overtaking the droseras but I think they can handle it :D Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk

    Thanks! It feels funny when you don't know what you own. Trimis de pe al meu SM-A500FU folosind Tapatalk

    Drosera overload

    So you're saying these are tokaiensis, not spatulata? I had some bigger specimens at work and managed to do some pictures. Also, it may matter their trap speed: they curled up within a few(5) minutes around the bloodworms. Trimis de pe al meu SM-A500FU folosind Tapatalk

    Drosera overload

    Then I got hoaxed by the selling seeds company? Oh well. Thanks for helping the ID. The seeds have not been cold stratified, no. Trimis de pe al meu SM-A500FU folosind Tapatalk

    Drosera overload

    My bad. They are Drosera Spatulata "Fraser Island". I suppose they look like D. Tokaiensis, yea :) I am attaching some pictures with the plant for ID, too Trimis de pe al meu SM-A500FU folosind Tapatalk

    Drosera overload

    D. Capensis, D. Spatulata, D. Burmannii, D. Nidiformis, D. Scorpioides. There might be others too, because I had bought some Drosera mix ar some point. The only fear is that I don't know where to put them during winter Also, if anyone near Romania wants to trade or need seeds of any of the...

    Drosera overload

    Hello guys, Just wanted to share my Drosera babies. I'm so proud of them that I felt the need to pass the love to others too :) Also, could you tell what Drosera flower is that? The plant looks something between Capensis and Nidiformis, but the nidiformis has pink flowers. Enjoy and thanks...

    Nepenthes ventrata

    Hello guys, What is going on with this ventrata?... i give it 5 hours of direct sunlight and it is standing next to a sanguinea and a rebecca soper that look good. Some time ago I had problems with its pitchers not totally forming and leaves all green, now it's the complete oposite: dark big...

    Saving private Sarracenia

    Apparently Private Sarracenia IS recovering. After a barbaric trimming and some nice sun for 2 weeks, some growth can be seen :) Trimis de pe al meu SM-A500FU folosind Tapatalk
