Does anyone have any spare sundew leaf cuttings to share/trade/sell? My collection has suffered a bit in recent months due to lack of pure water and neglect (due to heavier school work!) and now I'm seeking to replenish my collection.
I agree filiformis is really crazy! I've got enough to sell soon!
Thanks for putting your request in a nice manner (some will just ask for the cuttings blatantly 'cos they know you have them). We'll gladly help you replenish your collection.
Yes, Filiformis is really crazy. I have so many of them now. But the original plant is very prone to drying out nowadays. In the past I could not water it for 2 days and it'll still be fine. Now, once I miss watering for 1 day, it dries up very badly!
Cindy, thanks for ur offer... Spatulata would be nice, if possible
On my side, I have filiformis and intermedia. Still have some intermedia seeds from last year. PM me if anyone wants them!
I had good germination rates as well after I had put the pots containing the seeds in the sun, with a cover to preserve the moisture. It seems that all these seeds need either light or heat (or both) to germinate... that's why I've now shifted my "seed pots" to my terrarium, which actually is a fish tank placed in the sunlight
How come everybody around here have D.filiformis?! Believe it or not, I don't have a single strand of D.filiformis! Anyone (in singapore) who has too much D.filiformis and wants to get rid of it because its taking over your house, I will happily buy any extras you have to sell (Cindy, did you mention selling?
You just need one strand of filiformis, Jason. Right, guys?
I've got >30 baby plants now from one given to me by guqin. Soon, I'll have to give them away to my students.
So what would you like? One strand of leaf cutting? Or a baby plant?
ebeyonder, are you saying that you actually "bake" the intermedia seeds? I left them in the fridge for almost a month 'cos I thought they were temperate!!!
Thanks for the offer of the ping cuttings; I currently have some and would want to make sure those grow properly first before killing anymore pings
But thanks once again!
Anyway, ok, I suspect that the D.intermedia I got are indeed temperate despite THY stating to the contrary. Reason: they are now producing winter-resting buds, and have done so after Nov after a vigorous flowering season. Like u, I stored the seeds in the fridge but without moisture. For the seeds which did germinate, I think they were in the fridge for less than 3 days and then were baked in the sun as I had described earlier. Hmmm... perhaps it's a temperate D.intermedia which seeds do not require stratification?
