    Why Are There No Gemmae Offerings This Year?

    I'm trying to rebuild my Pygmy sundew collection. I'd be happy to pay for gemmae & postage or work out a trade for pings.

    Wintertime Shipping and Who?

    I just put up another EnviroGro T5, 6-Tube Fixture, so I am itching to add more plants. Although it's 20-30'f here in Spokane, WA. Can anyone recommend some reliable wintertime shippers? I'm looking at add more Sundews and Pings. How about seeds? Will freezing kill Sundew or Ping seeds? Thank...

    Sundew Help ~ Confused and a bit Overwhelmed

    EDIT: UPDATE: 12.16.15 --- Alright it's been a minute since I've posted for help, I re-potted the thing in the moss, I rinsed the moss, and I've been watering it in a tray with distilled water. It's been in bright light in a window, it's not in a tank or anything but it's still pretty high...

    Hello from Michigan!

    Hello, my name is Nick :) I live in Richmond, Michigan. I currently have a small indoor greenhouse rigged with lights and a homemade humidifier for Nepenthes and any other tropical cp's I find to like, along with a couple cacti. I have a few sarracenia/temperate sundews/VFT's that are going...

    Hello everyone, Joe here. This give away is for D. peltata (NZ), D. peltata 'pink flower' (NSW), & D. auriculata seeds. These seeds are a few years old but have been kept cold and should germinate no problem. I also have seeds of the other species listed below, but viability is uncertain. If the...

    Hypothetical question regarding wild plants and trespassing

    Let's say there is a large tract of land near you that has a couple of common species of sundew on it. The land has been sold, and is going to be cleared at some point in the future. Would you trespass onto the site and steal the plants to "save" them, rather than contacting the owner and asking...

    Forked sundew help?

    Hi, so I was wondering if anyone could help me with weather or not my forked sundew needs dormancy or not. I've been told that it does by some people, yet others say it does not need it. Please help me before it dies...

    Sundews that do well with almost no water and don't care about humidity

    The Cape Sundew lives in arid South Africa, and I heard that it can go long spells without watering. Drosera Binata, the fork-leaved Sundew, supposedly can survive long spells without watering too. I have heard that D. Brevifola does OK under those conditions too. So what are the Sundews that...

    Dormancy

    Hey guys, Long time no see! So, I had originally planned to pull my VFTs out of my terrarium for their dormancy, but (and please correct me if I'm wrong) They seem to be starting their dormancy already. I'll post pics of the plant that is furthest along in what I think it's doing, later. I'll...

    Anyone investigated Nicotania?

    I was at someone's house a few days ago and noticed a large plant with flowers that looked nightshade related. I was told the plant is Nicotania. It had several large sticky leaves with a lot of fungus gnats stuck to them. The leaves were sticky but not mucilaginous like a sundew. Has anyone...

    D. arcturi in the City

    Hey all, There was some interest earlier this year in my experience growing D. Arcturi. I live in a warm city with 30*c summer days but successfully grow both mature plants and seedlings of alpine sundew, including Arcturi. For my mature plants, this is their third season. The seedlings are...

    Sphagnum moss grows too tall.

    All the sphagnum in my bog keeps trying to eat my venus flytraps and sundews. The Sarrs and orchids are too tall for it, but everything else seems to be fair game. There's also a lot of bladderworts that got there somehow, and I'm really worried about them because they're really short as far as...

    Sundew

    I'm new to growing cp, and I would like to know how old a drosera sundew should be to do a leaf cutting, and how what is the easiest way for me to do it? Thank you in advance. :): Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Drosera recovery time from mail

    Hi, I'm new to CPs. I just got my Cape Sundew from the mail on Thursday and I was wondering when they can recover and start producing dews again. Right now it's under a T5 HO light (which I just got last night). I set a timer for 16 hours. It's in the tank that gets up to 80 degrees. I got it...

    Sundew SOS

    I cooked these 3 sundews under a light, and I also recently transplanted them bare root from %100 peat to 100% sphagnum. There is no dew on them, and hasn't been for 2 weeks! Can they not handle as much light as the VFTs?

    Top Of Soil Keeps Drying

    I am using the tray method on many of my sundew pots now, but the soil keeps drying. All of the pots have 3+ drainholes and I keep them in 1+ inches of water most of the time. The soil is moist directly underneath any dryness, it is only 1mm or less on the very top that dries out. Would getting...

    Filiformis blooming twice in a year?

    I have a medium sized thread leaf sundew that flowered in June, producing these: Yesterday I noticed what looked like another flower stalk coming up. Is this normal, or is mine doing something odd?

    Help a beginner with Drosera Filiformis (Florida All Red)

    I purchased this plant almost exactly a month ago and have yet to successfully acclimate my plant to its new environment. The plant arrived in great condition, but has slowly declined since. At first it was kept indoors in a south facing window and watered from the top (6-8 hours of direct...

    Pygmy sundews, scrambled, pls. (trans: need help) :)

    Hi, all! So... talk about a lesson learned the hard way. My two-year-old daughter thought it would be oh so hilarious if she yanked out the ID tags on 8 of the 13 species of pygmy sundew whose gemmae I acquired for the first time this past fall. In short, I have no idea which sundews are which...
