dormancy

Hi i was wondering if anyone keeps a journal of their plants. Im thinking about starting one to start recording things like size, when i got them, dormancy, etc.., If you do keep a journal, what do you keep track of, and how do you do yours?

Hello! I hear that there are Drosera rotundifolia in the Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, that may grow in tropical conditions. Is anyone here growing these plants and/or can report on them? Takaaki Kagawa in his book Drosera of Japan mentions colonies that have a shorter dormancy requirement, but...

Hey everybody that actually reads this! I've collected orchids for a while and within the last year and a half have been collecting CPs. I saw some sarracenia minor in situ and fell in love with them. Before long I had a decent collection but gravitated to nepenthes mostly only in the last 6...

Hey guys, 3 months ago I bought this P. Laueana and since then it has been producing smaller and smaller leaves. I have kept it in the window where it got plenty of sun most of the time and the soil has been kept moist with the tray method. Also I live in the netherlands, so spring is just...

How long into dormancy should I wait before unpotting tuberous Drosera tubers? I've read various numbers between 1-3 months. I received a couple plants last month and one started going dormant immediately (D. zigzagia, I hope it didn't just die on me.) I let the pot dry out slowly since then...

All but one of my Sarracenia made it through dormancy this year. Sad to say it was an Oreophila hybrid that rotted-out :( Nonetheless, all the others are putting on a great show for 2016! Untitled by Jeff ., on Flickr Untitled by Jeff ., on Flickr Untitled by Jeff ., on Flickr Untitled by...

Sarracenia purpurea ssp purpurea - Bergen Swamp, NY (#1) Plant for auction Other photos of mother plant Small division of seed grown plant that I accidentally broke off unrooted while repotting two years ago. It should be rooted by now :-D. Seeds were legally collected by one of the trustees...

Up for auction is a package containing one Sarracenia “Dana’s Delight”, one venus flytrap, and one Drosera filiformis x Tracyi. The S. “Dana’s Delight” is a division from a mature flowering plant. All plants are just coming out of dormancy. Dana’s Delight photo is the plant divisions were taken...

Up for auction is a package containing one Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Tarnok’, one venus flytrap, and one Drosera filiformis x Tracyi. The S. leucophylla ‘Tarnok’ is a division from a mature flowering plant. All plants are just coming out of dormancy. Tarnok photo is the plant divisions were taken...

Two days ago I saw that my grandifloras were in full bloom while my vallisneriifolias are just now coming out of dormancy. I really wanted to cross these two this year because the valls are probably old enough to bloom now. So, I needed a way to save the pollen. Hard to do with a flower that...

Hey, terraforums. I have some vft's and I want to build a cold frame for them. Would it be possible to use a grow tent as one or would it not insulate them properly. I managed a windowsill dormancy last winter, but I plan to expand my collection this season and I have no more room on my...

I have various species of Sarracenia, vfts, dews, and pings growing under the same LED light. I am worried that the LED light does not have enough blue and white for vegetative growth. The plants are in a mini greenhouse outside with the plants and the lamp is about 25 inches above the top of...

I picked up this plant at the Chicago Botanic Gardens at their orchid show on Sunday. The woman selling them was really busy, so I didnt get to ask about it, I just bought it and figured id learn to take care of it later... Little did I know that these apparently are notoriously difficult to get...

Hey all, I have been reading about d. Binata. I like them, but I've seen photos of specimens the size of a small bush and I do not have room for a sundew the size of a small bush in my house during winter. Is it possible that during winter I could trim the sundew down to its hibernaculum and...

Is this Sarracenia Purpurea ssp. Purpurea or Purpurea ssp. Venosa or Sarracenia Rosea? Any tips for this species of Sarracenia? Can I use osmocote for it? As I am living in a tropical region, is it possible for me to let it undergo dormancy in the fridge?

Hey guys, I have a lot of left over Sarr divisions that I just do not have space for. They need to go before they begin to emerge from dormancy. I want to make this as simple and fast as possible. I have the following lots available for shipping. Shipping for each lot will be $8.00 via USPS...

I've been starting threads like crazy lately and here's another one. I've been wanting to order some vft's online, but they would arrive in dormancy. Is this any more risky/problematic than ordering out of dormancy? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have an Amorphophallus konjac that's been growing indoors. It has lasted in leaf stage through out the growing season and well into winter. Since winter is almost over, I was wondering, can it keep growing through another spring and summer? Or should I force it into dormancy somehow? I am...

Hello, I have been interested in possibly getting a Drosera Regia. I have kept vft's and nepenthes with success, but this would be my first sundew. What's their care like? Watering lighting etc. Do they need a dormancy?

Last summer I found a vft with a flower stalk that had traps instead of flowers growing on the stalk. I'm afraid it didn't make through dormancy. Has anyone else seen this phenomenon? Later that summer it produced normal flowers.
