Long, cold stratification and short cool growing season. They grow super slowly too.

Creepy · Apr 5, 2012

Ah good fun lol, thank you

Cthulhu138 · Apr 5, 2012

I'm just going to throw mine out into the bog and let them do their thing. If they live, great, if not......so be it.

This minute little seedling is 4 months old.

From my friends in the NZCPS - cold damp stratify in the refrigerator for at least 2 months. Expect about that long for germination too. Search for other threads on Terraforums as there has been posts on this species before. Good luck.

Thank you for all the help

It is a very frustrating species to grow. It only has two functional trap leaves at any given time. You need to feed it constantly because of the compressed growing season. Most of the time only one leaf on my had dew on it so putting food on the other wasn't a good idea. Liquid fertilizers might work for foliar feeding.

DJ57 · Apr 5, 2012

Sooo jealous. I have been looking for arcturi and hard to find. Can't wait to follow the progress of your seeds. :-D

Cthulhu138 · Apr 5, 2012

Haha, IF they progress that is.......................

Kinabalufan · Apr 8, 2012

I sowed arctaurii seed in the autumn and they germinated the following spring they were nice and cold over the winter. They like to be very wet and as already said they need to be feed. They are the slowest species of Drosera Iv grown so be very patient.

this worked for me.

Cthulhu138 · Apr 8, 2012

Mine are 72* during the day and 61* at night. As soon as the bog gets redone, I'm throwing them out there and just intend to forget about them. Sink or swim.

[FONT=&quot]Thanx for all the tips and pictures everyone

The weathers been too unreliable and unpredictable lately where i live to grow them with any great success so what I've done is made a cold box to germinate them in which hopefully should simulate similar conditions to which they origin from in New Zealand. [/FONT]
