Most Drosera can be easily and quickly propagated by leaf cutting, root cuttings, and flower scape cuttings. (A flower scape is just another words for the developing unfurling flower stalk as it emerges from your plant.) This will give you a mature plant faster than raising one from seed...
Has anyone tried to hybridize Glanduligera with some hardy Drosera? Say Filiformis or Filiformis x Intermedia?
I'm in Zone 7, but would like to put some of these outside. If I can get the trapping behavior worked into a strong hybrid, that'll do nicely.
i started my exploration of Oz with Troy offering to take me out to see some tuberous Drosera he knew about.....unfortunately while i came at a bad time for reptiles(winter down here) was the perfect time for tuberous Drosera....according to Troys field guide of plants of the area, the climbing...
Once I was in a store and there was a corner in which some really strange plants were standing.
They shall eat meat or something like that and they are probably dangerous. No risc no fun. I took one of the glistening with the sticky leaves.

Where can I find actual plants, not seeds, of this species? I googled it but have so far been unsuccessful.
Also Drosera Glanduligera is especially rare, but I have few hopes of getting it.

While there had been a brief mention of Drosera glanduligera a short time ago, here is a link to a UK article about the plant, as well as some film footage:

Props and thanks to Paladin69 he sent these in the mail all the way from Australia, for free :).
However I've been looking up their care it seems quite intense, as a winter grower is it too late to start growing them? The lowest temperature I can possibly manage in the hot summer months is 70...
I have some seed left over from my plants. The seed is all fresh. There is D. glanduligera (lots), D. macrophylla (few), 3 species of pygmies (very few), Utric multifida (lots) and the new form of U. multifida (few) Check out the pics of this form in the Utric threads.

Hi, all:-)
I thought it would be nice to share the outcome of my experiments with supplemented MS medium on some drosera species in vitro. It is well known that the presence of aminoacids in tissue culture media can promote the growth of the plants in a very significant manner (e.g. glycine...
