Iv just managed to get some Drosera regia seed to germinate
Iv heard these are very tricky to keep alive. From my tragic experiance with an adult plant I found they dont like high humidity, is this true for seedlings? what humidity should I keep them in. Also I guess they dont like high temps either. At the moment they are in a pippette box (like a little growth chamber) this has very high humidity which is great for getting seed to germinate. The first seed germinated in 9 days. Should I leave them like this until they get a true leaf or open it up now? I realllllllly want to suceed with these, as regia is truely the king of Drosera and seeds are not so easy to get. Its coming on to autumn here too which is an added complication, as they need a dormancy but im guessing they wont need that the first season.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
