Well, you all know of those poor plants that you can find in the dollar store toppled over, and perhaps tramped on. Or inside a hardware store when the package says full sun. Well, the other day spending money that I should not have spent, I went into Home Depot and bought myself a ping and a sundew (adelae im pretty sure.)
Well, no matter how many times I would set up the drosera, it would just topple over. Being a little more aggressive it simply just lifted out of the sphagnum. The roots were about a cm long, if that. Expecting the worst, I tore off the majority of the leaves closer to the base and left the newer growth on, and I placed the leaves I tore from it on the sphagnum. Hope for the best right?
Yes, already about 2-3 days after I set the leaves on the moss, one has already shot up a few leaves! They are about 2 mm long albeit, but growing none the less. Maybe soon ill just have a pot full of these suckers! Pretty cool huh? I wish i could give pictures, but I don't have a point and shoot, and i do not have a macro ring or lens.
