Matt: I was given a packet of D. burmannii seeds a couple months ago and now I have a bazillion seedlings. How do you care for them? How big do they get? What is their life cycle like?
thanks alot everyone!!
Buckeye: Most of these plants are in a plastic crate with 2 compact flourescents (big bright ones) above it on clip on work lamps
Finch: I guess they do look like spiders!!
JimScott:I didn't grow them from seed, but they are pretty tolerant plants for me. Just treat them like a drosera capensis. moderate humidity, moderate light, warm temps. (high light is fine too)
Matt
Jim, D. burmanni is usually treated like an annual. They grow and mature pretty quickly and produce a lot of seed. After heavy flowering they often will begin to slump. You then start more plants with the seeds to keep them going. Some people keep them longer term. It may depend on the amount of flowering though. I have a pot bursting with 4-5 large plants and I will probably not let all of them flower to see if I can keep them longer. They put a lot of energy into making seed. Its like anything else, deadheading flowers lets the plant put energy back into the plant instead of making seed.
*the last pic is u. inflata also. On the ceph, the only leaves I grew big noncarnivorous one and "most" of the developing pitcher. But I guess thats a lot since it doesn't have many leaves.
ok, the pics weren't working for some reason. They're working now. (the new h. minor pic)
anyway, I got this succulent rock cactus thing yesterday, and today the flower opened.
