i would say like 70 during most winter days and maybe 60 at night but the soil probably is a lower temp due to the windowsill and window having that chill to it. Also this is there 3rd year
if you ask me, the plant do need much more light! This could explain the stalks on the D. nitidula x pulchella. My plants do not have such stalks, even if severaly years old. They are lighted for about 8hrs in winter. A south facing windows does not provide enoug light for Drosera, especially in winter.
well i was thinking that myself for the pgymy as it is kinda tall and has a stalk. I actually misread the one post. i though he said bout the D. auriculata having stalks and the D. auriculata 3rd year and not the pgymy thats only 1 year from gemmae.
Hybrid pygmy sundew are very hardy, unless it snow where you live. They should be harden up to full sun. The plants will colour up.
As far I know only two species of tuberous sundews self seed, Drosera auriculata and D. peltata. You can extand the growing season by keep the plants in a cool, shady location. I seen D. auriculata growing into summer this way.
ya i usually keep them going till like early july but temps hit like 90+ so its really hard to keep my D. auriculata going. i also am trying Drosera peltata, D. macrantha, D. stolonifera .... and D. menziesii somnething. i dont really know them well s im just trying them for the first time and they are seeds right now. Ya i usually have seed in spring for the D. auriculata
Ya we do get lots of snow but not yet though and the pots would freeze for sure. i do keep them out as long as possible in the cold until it went below 35.
Donovan: I've got sprouted D. auriculata & peltata. How should I be cultivating them, now, considering it winter? I have them currently open tray, window sill. Should they be colder, wetter, drier...? Should they be treated like pigmy sundews?
