wow. you have a very impressive sundew collection to say the least!
may i ask what are your cultivation perimeters for your South American dews? mine are growing, but can only keep a few leaves at a time...
Thanks to all !!!
My cultivation perimeters are:
Temps: about 14°-23° in winter, 16°-27° in summer (I use a mini fridge a few hours during the summer).
Light: in winter 8am-3pm external light of the day(not direct sun), 3pm-9pm two CFL 6400K.
In Summer direct sunlight through a very fine white tent all morning, plus 6pm-9pm two CFL 6400K.
CFL are 5-10cm from the plants.
Humidity: about 90%, 70-80% when the mini fridge is on.
Ventilation: present a few small holes to ensure air circulation.
Pots and media: 8x8xh12 and classic 50/50 peat and perlite (some have live sphagnum on the surface).
