Hi,
I'm posting again about my Drosera rotundifolia plants. They recovered nicely after a heatwave, been growing until a few months ago, then somehow stopped probably due to winter temperatures.
They formed what I thought could be winter rosettes, however after a few colder days (coldest night...
Hi all, I'm pretty experienced with Drosera but this one has me puzzled. I receiving a young "Andromeda" from a friend so I quickly put it in some peat and in my terrarium. High intensity LEDs, 90%+ RH, and around 78-80 degrees. The color wasn't looking too good and the existing leaves weren't...
For a while now, I've been wanting to do a bit of tissue culture. I'm still organizing information and supplies, but I realized I had no idea what to TC. I don't want to buy some expensive material and fail, and I don't have a very extensive plant collection. I am wondering, you jelly people...

I would just like to thank Flora for sending me my firs sundew plants in seed form. I got some Drosera pulchella seed and they came fast and in great shape. Some were already green so I think they where already started. I hope I have some good luck with thees. I only had 2 ziplocks that the pots...
As in South Texas, the winter is relative short here in Houston. I keep my tuberous outdoor. Any idea on how to prolong the growing season for tuberous drosera? Obviously, moving them indoor and keeping them cool is an option. Unfortunately, it is not a feasible option for me. Apart from that...
I have the following species available for trade (fairly recent pictures can be found in my growlist). I'm mostly looking for Utricularia and highland Drosera but feel free to offer other plants too.
Utricularia alpina
Utricularia amethystina (purple and white flower forms)

Hello and Happy Holidays to everyone!!
I am doing a quick weekend giveaway. I will pick the winners on Sunday morning and mail these guys out first thing Monday. I have way more than I need (or have room for, LOL) so I'm passing on the bounty. Postage is on me, all I need is your address.
What...
My D. hartmeyerorum is getting ready to open its flowers any day now.
As soon as I saw the scape appear, I started feeding it a little heavier.
A special "Thank you!" to Paul for the seeds.
Good growing,
Mike
As you can see, my plant babe didn't take the transition to dorm life very well. I didn't notice until after it had declined that it wasn't getting enough sun from the window I set it up in front of -- when I was back home, though, it was thriving.
I have since bought a humidifer for it and a...

A few months ago, I decided to take a cutting from the top of my D. Madagascariensis.
When it started growing back, it did'nt just resume growth normally... It started growing out of 3 spots where I took the cutting!
The pictures are pretty bad, but you get the idea.
Is this sort of...
Hi all, I've been a very long time lurker finally decided to make an account. I've been keeping Drosera, Sarrs, and VFTs for a few years now but within the last year decided to get serious with some rarer species, Nepenthes, and now I'm venturing into tissue culture. I love the information and...
After a bit of digging, I found online that Drosera pollen, at least for tuberous plants, is viable for at least 3-4, maybe 5 weeks. I also know from experience that pollen is usually usable on (south african) plants for a few days after flowering but I have no experience keeping it in the...
For discussion of the plants these seeds came from see here: http://www.terraforums.com/forums/sundews-drosera-byblis-drosophyllum/141218-drosera-filiformis-florida-red-white-flowers.html
I will give away 2 packets of seed from these plants to 2 people who have been registered with Terra Forums...
I lost the tags on a couple pots, so not sure what this guy is. It may still be too early to tell. It doesn't look like capensis so it's either a binata or gingantea.
Hey all, after a brief search through the forum records I could find scant information and no details about germinating conditions for pygmy seeds.
I am trying to germinate a slightly alpine form of Drosera pygmaea called "Mt. Bold Red". I tried sowing some seeds under T-8 lights with a 12...
