That is a D.Adelae Dyflam. Congrats on saving it form Lowe's! As a mater of fact I went to Lowe's tonight to pick up some Spahgnum,Perlite and Orchid bark and saw a VERY HEALTHY D.Capensis (which i don't have) and the guy said they got them in today! So I couldn't resist (for 2.00!) and bought it! WONDERFUL shape and goignt o replant it tommorow in Peat/Perlite mix. I am very happy today!

yup, adelae...doesnt look dewy, but with higher humidty, it will get more dewy. It grows well in a mix of peat and perlite or long fibered shagnum and perlite.

D.adelae 100%. This plant is known to sprout plantlets from the root. You should have a bunch of these plants after a few months

Why yes of course you can! They have LOADS of it in my local Lowe's. It isn't that cheap (&#366.00) for .25 Cubic Feet of it.

This plant is where it's gonna be for a while... 50/50 peat/perlite. Just waiting for some dew to form.

Looks like it likes it new home with all the dew being produced.

That is a wonderful picture.

Dyflam, you've probably said this before, but what kind of camera do you use? The light is just perfect.

It's a Nikon Coolpix 800. I use the macro function quite a bit. One of the nice things about digital cameras is you can adjust brightness, contrast, etc. with a photo editor.

Thanks. I have asked other cp growers about their cameras, and your model seems popular--an ideal cp camera.

Hi Dyflam
I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago - D. adelae from Lowe's.  It looked almost gone when I got it but is now growing pretty well.  It first seemed to produce tentacle-less leaves, but each new leaf has more.  Still no dew yet, though.  It is in a very humid enclosure, so I don't know.  Did you repot from the original container?

John, also in Florida

jaje61, I did repot. It was in an undrained container with 2 other plants... I think a S. purpurea and a common VFT.

I like getting carnivorous plants from lowse. My mother owns a store, so she can order any plant the company has availible, for me. But, the only sundews they ever have in my area are adelae and spathulata.

And I think I see some red coloration in the closest mature leaf.

To the left, regular or lite?
