    Tuberous Dormancy...

    Hi. This is my first year growing tuberous sundews, and I started with a pot with 2 D. Auriculata in it. They grew fine, died off, went dormant - but they've been dormant for over a month now and I wasn't aware that you were supposed to protect them from dryness and the sun - so I left them out...

    For Trade: NZ and Australian sundew seeds

    Hello. I have some seeds of New Zealand sundews and one Australian sundew that I'd like to trade.

    Hi folks, I've been using a 400W metal halide on the large intermediate Nepenthes grow chamber (slightly cooler by about 10*F day and night than my lowland tank).
