Hello everyone, I am new to these forums and growing Drosera plants. My first ones include: Spatulata, Regia, and Capensis. All three are doing really well. I recently repotted the Spatulata and will be repotting the Regia soon as well.
I have been growing mine in a peat/#20 silica mixture and the plants seem to really like it. I have not been able to find alternative soil mixtures, but I was curious if anyone here knew of different soil types or mixtures one could use.
I recently purchased some Derbyensis seeds. I have read that these can be grown in sand without peat or anything else, is this true? I was going to use my mixture for the seeds, but I thought I might try to just use sand for a couple of them. Would using only silica sand work for other Drosera types as well?
Thanks in advance for the input!
