Just out of curiosity, where on BestCP is that grow guide?
NepG,
I'm not sure why it is difficult, it seems to have a specific niche that it thrives in and outside those boundaries it just kind of makes do. Mine has been growing slowly but it hasn't been increasing any in size, still about 1cm across after 3 months.
Cool droseras! I may get one later but not right now!

I just found out they like it very wet, with a sandy potting mix. They grow in Australia, where they sometimes experience a drought( which is not needed in cultivation), and is part of the group called the Wooly Sundews/ petiolaris complex.
Actually...they grow in New Caledonia as tropicals. They do not experience a drought and are more closely related to the spath. complex than the petiolaris complex.
Thats what that bestcp site said. After finding out it was in the petiolaris complex from the site, I looked it up in The Savage Garden. But, you could be right.

Also wanted to mention that you can find a really good picture of it on the cover of Carnivorous Plants of the World, by James and Patricia Pietropaolo. That picture is why I want the plant so bad.
