D. adelae from Joseph Jar

[mass]

So seedjar (Joe) sent me some D. adelae awhile back. A few nice plants and a pot of fresh seedlings. I've been growing them in 100% live LFS in a low light tank in the HL GH. Thought it was time for an update.

Holy gosh >.>

LFS and or live sphagnum helps this one also. More and more have seen that this plant benefits from a substrate that is mostly LFS or live sphagnum. wonder if you could do in a hanging basket and let keikies pop out the bottom and and sides

Oh wow - nicely done Travis! I've never thought to use live moss with them. It's a very attractive look - I'll have to give it a try sometime. Glad to see you're finally succeeding with them!

yeah.. since your portion will be divided from the seedling pot, I think you now know why you'd be getting a bunch rather than a few.

I have had an adelae in a peat: perlite mix that has been sending up young plants but has been slowly shrinking since october. I will repot a few into LFS and see if it helps. Thanks for the tip!

They're not seedlings. They're sprouts from a root ball I had sitting in a water tray for a few years. It'd throw up a dense crowd of plantlets, I'd pull all the big ones off, it'd pout for a few months, and then a new crop would sprout. I should see sometime if I can duplicate those results...

Well then.. There you have it. Mystery solved!

Ooh ! What a sight ! Love it. Australian droseras are definitely something else.
