Alrighty,
I'm quite the newbie with genlisea. I had a small patch sent to me a year ago, and it didn't last long as a bit of hot weather did it in in one day.
This time, copper was kind enough to send me a small patch of g. lobata and a tiny bit of g.violacea. Both arrived in good condition the other day. This time, I put them in 60/40 peat/ sand, and stood the container in a small amount of RO water. Same as my utrics and drosera. 24 hours later, all but one tiny leaf has rotted. The plants are in an eastern facing window. Today was cloudy, so they got about 3 hours of very filtered light. Temps 75 degrees, 70% humidity. Have I done something wrong? Any chance there is TOO much water? And is there any chance they'll regrow from roots, like utrics seem to?
Thanks in advance,
Michelle
