Drosera gemmae from generous @Lloyd Gordon

These sprout fast. I planted mine on Saturday and they already got little roots I think but they are super small so I can’t really tell.

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

The roots come very quickly.

My gemmae are sprouting !

Update... I begin to feed the drosera, 6 total to date !

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

They're ready for tiny bits of freeze dried blood worms.

Gave them 2 light pushes of diluted Maxsea...

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

That's ok but the FDBW work better and are easier.

Got it.

Wow! They grow fast!

Your drosera look so alive!

Here's mine for comparison:

 

[coconut]

Begin to give my young pigmies drosophilas... And the gemmae NOID are very very small...

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

They're asking to be fed!

 

[NicoleXPopa]

Anyone still having delay’s on them? How long did it take you guys to germinate?
Did I put the seeds too close to the light, it burned?

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

They're not really seeds. I've never heard of them being burned by lights as long as they were wet.

It's hard to take photographs of things that tiny, heh.

I've got one drosera eating a bug (pictured wearing camo!) that's way too big for it, as sort-of a reward for growing big enough that I could tell it was a sundew. In the foreground you can see another gemma in absolutely no hurry to do things. There's one other (not shown) in a similar state to the foreground gemma, and the others may or may not be dead.

So, I wouldn't say I'm *very* far ahead of you.
