D. graomogolensis

[Sloppysponge]

I have had him since Thursday, and he already has had a meal! Thanks @WillyCKH!

 

[WillyCKH]

Awesome!

 

[Shoggoths]

Nice, do you grow it in LFS ?
If not, I do and it is loving it.

 

[Sloppysponge]

I am very new and I won this in the auction. I got Willy to pot it, it is in a 3.5 in deep pot with what looks like peat and perlite 50/50 or something. Don't hold me to that though I am not sure.

 

[WillyCKH]

Yep, peat and perlite 50/50 and some live sphagnum around the plant. Eventually the moss will cover the soil surface under ideal conditions.

 

[Sloppysponge]

Cool!

 

[Shoggoths]

Good, keep it that way and when the roots started to get out of the bottom of the pot, put them in LFS and you'll be able to see what fit you more

 

[Sloppysponge]

My neps are in the LFS. They seem to like it.

Update: this little guy has been working hard, I'm not sure what to call it but he has a new growth sprout starting, I am so happy. Sorry about the terrible photo.

 

[Sloppysponge]

Here is a better picture.

 

[Hackerberry]

Wow, looking great!

 

[Sloppysponge]

Thanks, these plants have not been with me too long and I have @WillyCKH to thank for not only the amazing plants available, but all the advice for me also! Amazing work!

 

[Sloppysponge]

I have found a nep growing in my graomogolensis pot.

 

[WillyCKH]

What a nice surprise!

 

[Sloppysponge]

Usually the drosera is popping up in other species pots, so this was refreshing. I was just wondering how this could have happened, do neps usually propogate from root or leaf or stem cuttings in live sphagnum?

 

[WillyCKH]

Is this pot from me? If so, it's probably from seeds. I usually sow seeds onto Sphagnum and tend to give up after a while and just grow something else on it.

 

[Sloppysponge]

This moss might have originally came from you, it's hard to say because of all the live moss I have now, I have 4 zipper bags full and still cutting.

Hi,
I fed each of my plants with dry spider and fresh spider. The plants had a dome which I removed when the mold appeared. Here are the pictures. Should I remove/cut off the leaves ? The mold leaves stay stable. BTW, these droseras come from Carnivorous plant store, potted. Awesome potted plants...

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

Probably just cosmetic.

I’d keep the leaves on the plant if they don’t show signs of degradation.
I love this species…one of my favourite of all the Drosera.They excel in bright, wet and cool-warm conditions. An increase in air movement may help prevent mold in the future.
Enjoy and thank you!
