A couple D. montana var. tomentosa that arrived about 2 weeks ago.
in the pot next to that, D. graomogolensis on peat (rather than LFS). Experimenting with different medias atm..
a couple of the LFS pots, first up D. ascendens...
A couple months ago I did some water propagation with a few leaf pullings/flower stalk cuttings.
They sat under T5's for somewhere between 2 and 3 months before being potted.
Here are some macros of them. The "10 days later" photos were taken today.
Here are a few still underwater, where...
So I made a goof this evening as I was cutting a flower stalk off a D. Capensis "Red" - I accidentally cut two leaves (young, sturdy leaves) off the plant. Rather than get annoyed, I decided I'd try my hand at leaf cutting propagation.
From glancing around online, here, and on YouTube, I've...
I have started taking numerous leaf cuttings of each of my plants.
I'm going to giveaway one fresh leaf cutting in live LFS of each plant listed.
Rules are..
1. Must be a green member
2. Must be a boy OR a girl
3. Must be in the U.S.
4. winner pays shipping ($7ea. tracking inlcuded ~ sm...
Things are looking fine, so I thought I would show off my propagation and labelling efforts...
U. pubescens "Serra Caraca", finally getting established.
U. rostrata, from some location or another. Still establishing from the CZ.
My FAVORITE! U. blanchetii. It is like a fine grass, so...
the 2 plants in particular may be a little big for an aquarium but first is the water hyacinth............if i break off one of those little nodules, will it grow new roots? I see that it does naturally but was curious if it would work if I broke it off before it divides on it's own? I do root...
It seems the less fuzzy species (D. paradoxa, D. falconeri) seem to propagate fairly easily as leaf pullings floating in water and kept in my case relatively warm. Also clumps of leaves from D. paradoxa seem to produce more plantets and appear to have a greater percentage of being successful...
Hello from the Great White North...
I've just received about 100 D. regia seeds from a supplier in SA (rhymes with GilverMill) and assuming they are indeed viable, this will be the second time for me germinating D. regia..
If I am successful germinating, the majority of the plants will...
Luca wanted to see pics of my overcrowded setup, so I figured I would post them for all to see...
Top shelf, has some airplants which are not doing super well... Also some nice big bromeliads in the back... Most of the stuff is in bags, because I don't have a humidifier yet. I should get one...
Hey everybody, so I'm working on a research project surrounding the propagation via leaf cuttings of multiple drosera species, so far the only one that has been completed is D. capensis. I was hoping to repeat the experiment using D. burmanii, D. filiformis, D. indica, D. spatulata, and pretty...
Gonna give some random things away. It's about that time..
Contest starts meow.. and ends on my birthday (July 8th).
Winning numbers have already been chosen. SO GOOD LUCK!
The giveaway list includes, but isn't limited to:
Clusters of (U.S. version) D. capensis 'Giant' plants...
So for a while now I've had a strong desire to get started in tissue culture, both for the plant propagation and because the entire process seems awesome. The limiting factor, as a college student, has been money and I've pretty much resigned myself to waiting until I finish up in the fall...
Hey guys, I thought I would put up some good beginner plants for a small giveaway. I am giving away some D. capensis "broadleaf plants from leaf propagation. There are 5 plants connected to the leaf and they already have good root systems, the winner will get all 4 or 5 plants that is on the...
I made this mini terrarium a week ago (right when I got the plants)
I am pretty sure it is less than 1 gallon, maybe 1/2 gallon.
Pictures:
Drosera Nidiformis
Drosera Adelae
Drosera Spatulata
Drosera Capensis "giant"
Full tank shot (Overhead)
And my sphagnum propagation for the...
Hello Terraforums,
In my time at my university, I have watched the bog garden in the school's conservatory dwindle in health and fade. As an underclassmen, all I could do is try to weed sadly, or maybe pick off a few mealy bugs. At the same time, I have been fortunate enough to have been...

Hi,
as I have looked through the Pinguicula forum I found, that there are hardly any pictures to find that show cold hardy Pinguicula and their gemmae buds in spring.
Cold hardy Pinguicula can propagate from their winter buds as they produce small gemmae during autumn/winter, that can grow to...

A couple of my Sarracenia are starting to send up their flower buds, and I figure I might as well try my hand at propagation since I have some interesting plants this time around. My Sarracenia alata "Black Tube" has surprised me by making two buds, and though unfortunately I don't have another...
