Truly depressing. Just checked my pygmie dews. Scorpioides, occidentalis and nitidula are producing gemmae already. Looks like I'll be harvesting gemmae for another five or six months. Seems like I just finished harvesting the last bunch the other day. Think I'll sit in the corner and pout...
As the title states I have been looking for U. graminifolia for some time now since my old culture died. I'm hoping that its pygmy drosera gemmae time as well, but if not I'd like to trade for U. graminifolia. Look on my growlist and if none of my plants interest you I do have aquatic plants if...
Hi, I am not very familiar with Pygmies but they seem to do well for me under lights. They are currently in peat/sand mix as well as LFS.
My questions are:
1. Anyone uses LFS with good results? I have another friend whose pygmies are growing in LFS so I tried when I got some D. pygmae seeds.
2...
I took this picture to show my family via email and thought I might share it here as well. The dime was there to help them understand the size of these tiny pygmies.
D. nitidula x puchella
So small, so simple, so beautiful.

I've been growing the following plants under T5s. They flowered for me and I thought perhaps soon, I could try and stimulate gemmae production.
D. puchella
D. occidentalis x puchella
D. ericksoniae x puchella
They are now receiving 12 hours of artificial light and are growing normally as they...
I was looking to get started with pygmies, so i gave ***** a try.
so yeah, i feel like i got screwed.
I've had good luck with ***** before. really, i have. generally, i have no problem with them at all. until i bought a D. Scorpiodes.
the site lists it as "unpotted near flowering size" at...
H. neblinae (I think- that's what I bought it as. If anyone thinks otherwise, please let me know)
Adding a new light and extending the photoperiod has made my D ordensis grow better
I pictured my D stolonifera in flower a few weeks ago. Its grown somewhat since then.
I think this is D...
How long are gemmae good for? My pygmies are starting to put off more and more. I want to wait until they are done then use the gemmae to fill in the thin spots on the pot and the maybe put some outside to see what happens.
Hey, there.
I dont know if many of you from years gone by will remember me. I am sure a few do. I would hope. But members come and go and there are a lot of unfamiliar usernames here in the forum.
I joined when I was 11.. Well, I was a lurker. I didnt actually register until I was I think 12...
I think there may have been a thread about this somewhere-- I have many Pygmy pots with something living in the soil that makes little heaps of peat on top of the soil surface. It seems like what earthworms do. It is really a problem in the Pygmy pots because it's ugly and the piles can cover up...
The only pygmies I've grown to this point are scorpioides. I've had no trouble with them, but from what I hear, they are these easiest (no dormancy required).
I was gifted a small pot of a pygme hybrid (don't remember the parrents, and there was no label....puchella x something maybe? I know I...
I have seed available fresh from the following, some have not even been harvested yet:
D. natalensis EG
D. intermedia (Gran Sabana)
D. intermedia (Mt. Roraima)
D. falconeri x paradoxa 'swamp form' (a few left)
(possibly mixed in with a few falconeri x kenneallyi, easy to tell apart, and...
My current favourite CP, Byblis aquatica. It seems to be a dwarf species. The whole plant is only a few cm high, and the leaves are distinctly reddish
Same again
S leucophylla- doing well in my new greenhouse
S x popei- ditto
P lustianica
B lamellata
Drosera pulchella 'Salmon...
I can not even recall if pygmies are even gearing up this time of year but figured I'd check around. Not looking for any specific species.
PM me if you can help
