Drosera slackii!

Yay! I just got my D.slackii in the mail! It was and X-mas gift from my grandma! Yay! Its awesome! Does anyone else here grow this species? I am going to try to make cuttings so that I could haves some to trade. Anyone else get any new plants?

Congratz. Any baby pictures?
I'm getting an armload of new plants when I go back home for the holiday - a little Xmas gift to myself. I'm getting a couple as gifts but, well... they're more for me. I'm sure we all know a little about that. :)

D. slackii is one of my favourite rosetted dews. I've been growing one since this fall, and I've learned to give it LOTS, and I mean LOTS of light. Like, a 42W compact fluorescent and reflector sitting 3" above it

Have fun! It's a beautiful species!
 
I take it she gave you $$ for X-mas?
That would be an astute person to actually go out and track that down as a gift, lol.
Amori, you grow yours in LFS? For a peat-growing plant in Nature, I found it did not like peat/sand, but then again the silica I get around here is so fine.

Cheers,

Joe
 
Hi Joe
I grow mine in a mixture of peat and perlite (though I hate the stuff) and it's doing great so far, and also have a ton of seedlings from the seeds that fell out of the dried flowers when I bought it.
