Panic attack

[Darcie]

My D. rotundifolia have all droped their leaves and each have three little rolled up leaves were I use to have a plantlet. PLEASE tell me this is just a hybernacual and they haven't suddenly started to die. *twitch twitch* Yes I am nerotic, but if you had all your sundews to date die sudenlly you would be too.


On a happier note

I got me a lot O new sundews over the last couple of weeks. A bunch from Copper and then some from the Meijer gardens

2 clones of D. adela
3 of D. spatulata
1 of something I can't remember how to spell or say that starts with N.
1 of D. intermedia 'Cuba'

*GRIN* and non have died yet which is good since 5 got frozen. Yay.

Darcie,

Here is a pic of a hibernacula. After this photo was taken, all the surrounding leaves died, leaving only the middle alive.

You mean D. nidiformis , thats probably it , for the rotundifolia , i'm sure it will be fine .

Another note on hibernaculum, dont panic and toss out the plant even if it seems like its been dormant for too long. I have a D. filliformis that I got last July that immediately formed hibernacula, which turned all brown and dead looking. I was almost positive the plant was a goner, but I followed Tamlin's advice, cut back on its water and waited it out, sure enough last week I began seeing tons of new growth. So dont panic if it looks dead, it may be faking it lol

Cheers

It also could be the D. natalensis Copper sent out.

Darcie: Your D. rotundifolia should be just fine. I have a few seedlings that did the same thing and I am very hopeful that they will start growing when the temperature and sunlight return.

Here is what mine did look like:

Mature D. rotundifolia showing hybernacula. As of 2/2/2004, the plant no longer has any active or growing leaves.

Okay, good. They are just sleeping. They worry me so with their tiney dime size, but I guess winter finally got to them. Actually, I've been wondering when they would get around to it, the purp they live with has been dorment for almost 3 weeks now.
