I Was surprised to see two weeks ago that my roridula seeds i had planted like 2 months ago sprouted. I had luckily got these from the icps along with drosophyllum. They both sprouted but i will post the drosopyllum picture in its forum. Its now 2 weeks old and it as soon as its first sticky leaf grew a gnat stuck to it.ITs slightly blurry.

Ya i was lucky for it to grow. During the late summer i gave the seeds a smoke treatment as it says it helps . I had a bonfire in my yard and put the pot of seeds next to it.

Wait until it grows bigger. The leaves produce a resinous dew that is MUCH stickier than that of drosera--it's as sticky as real glue. Even better, the leaves remain REALLY sticky even after they've died and completely browned. A REALLY sticky plant!

Cant wait. Already the leaves have an awesome type of binata look to them like a mutifida. I will post a picture every so often to keep an update on it especially when theres a drastic change in size. IT really is growing fast .

Are you going to get assassin bugs to digest the insects? Or is my information outdated?
