Well my D. nitudula x pulchella is producing gemmae and my D. auriculata is sky rocketing.

Nice plants!
Do your tuberous dews ever produce seed?
Do your tuberous dews ever produce seed?
yeah every year they do
nice pictures. are they growing on stalks?, i didnt know they did that. what kind of light are they getting?
i have them in a south facing window so they get a good bit. and its cool to for them. ya they do grow on little stalks and kinda climb.
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
Hello,
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.
Yeah, thats what I was getting at, they look very starved for light.
I dont know where you live, but for me they do best outside.

oops! i didn't see that all 3 times i looked
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.

cool and wet this is there main season they must grow enough to produce a tuber.
