    D.burmanii in spike already

    Absolute right, None of my adult burmanii have died yet and they've been alive for over a year now. My 2 adult sessilifolia are starting to slowly die off despite only being alive for just 6-8 months or so. If you want a comparison between the two...

    D.burmanii in spike already

    The spikes get super tall. You'll find that they only open on certain times of the day. In terms of feeding, it's very difficult to overfeed these guys. I haven't had one develop mold as a result of feeding and I've seen leaves that were filled with fungus gnats and it handled them without a...

    P. grandiflora Cold Strat

    Unfortunately they didn’t, haha. If Willy puts the South American butterworts for sale, I may just try that. On the bright side, the soil was colonized by my drosera!

    D. burmannii vs D. sessilifolia

    Hello everyone! Just finalized the difference between the two species. It's been a truly fun experience working with these two species. I hope that this post helps those who may not have access to verified sources selling D. sessilifolia seeds as it seems they are harder to come by.

    Drosera germination

    Just artificial for now. During the summer, I bring some of them outside and they just take in the natural sunlight

    Drosera germination

    You wont regret it! Now these guys need a ton of light. I found that the even need more light than burmanii. I've placed a 2500 lumens bulb just 1.5 inches away from the plant and it's leaves are still green- very light yellow

    Drosera germination

    Ikr, always the problem of space and light! Maybe this picture will let you decide :) D. sessilifolia

    Drosera germination

    Thanks! Yeah, I really like how D. burmanii and D. sessilifolia look so nice and compact! Willy is selling the seeds! Very easy to germinate with wet, warm, light filled conditions! You setup looks good! I have no doubt that they should germinate. Left Jar to me looks like it would germinate faster

    P. grandiflora Cold Strat

    Thanks for the advice. Next time it snows, I’m thinking of just filling the pot with snow that way I won’t have to mist it anymore. Can’t wait to get these guys sprouting!

    P. grandiflora Cold Strat

    Hello Everyone! This is my first attempt in trying to grow a temperate species of CP. Currently 1 week into cold stratification. Soil is 50% peat, 25% perlite and 25% River Sand. The pot is a fabric pot under a basin. The basin is currently filled with water but has frozen. I've enclosed the...

    Drosera germination

    Yeah. I'm probably just going to let them fight it out among themselves. I have so many D. burmanii. What happened with this globe was I transferred a D. sessilifollia to the area but it was overrun by mold and algae. I then threw out the contents and then just wanted to test out some newly...

    Drosera germination

    Is that a Pinguicula Gigantea on the side? Very beautiful plants!

    Drosera germination

    What I like to do with mine is have a pure layer of peat on the top to keep it really moist. Don't worry about overwatering since most Drosera species like it wet. Have a lamp directly over your container to increase the heat and humidity I've attached some of mine currently. These are D...

    What is everyone's favorite carnivorous plants?

    I have nepenthes and sundews. Currently, I prefer the sundews over the nepenthes but I really want to try out pings! They seem like they have very beautiful flowers and leaves!

    Pings and Fungus Gnat Question

    Guess this will be my project come next spring. My sundews do a good enough job but I have to place them beside the infested pot. I was hoping if pings emit any odour or something that catches them.

    D. burmannii vs D. sessilifolia

    Beautiful pictures! Damn I really should get a proper camera, haha. Currently, I agree. Even as juveniles, the differences are already quite noticeable. I can't wait to see these guys fully mature! IMO, I think much of the confusion comes from some batches of seeds that contain sessilifolia x...

    Pings and Fungus Gnat Question

    Greetings! I don’t own any pings and I was wondering if these plants can naturally attract and catch fungus gnats? I have some sundews and I find that you have to place them close to the problematic pot for them catch the little buggers. From anyone’s experience, do you find that pings are...

    D. burmannii vs D. sessilifolia

    Greetings! I've managed to finalize the differences between the two species after growing both of these wonderful species for a several months now. Differences: 1. Seedlings of Sessilifolia appear to germinate much more quickly (1-2 weeks). I have sowed fresh Burmanii seeds and they take at...
