Great stuff. Particularly envious of your seed grown N. glandulifera.

Where do you grow your tuberous sundews? In a basement where it is cool enough?

Reminds me - congrats on the graos in bloom. 'A rare occurrence. Mine never have.

Mine bloom every winter. Try cooling them down and dropping the light cycle.

Yeah, I grow them in an unheated basement alongside my pygmy Drosera, SA Drosera, ZA Drosera and Cephalotus.

D. ramellosa is so bizarre looking! It looks like one of those predatory reef worms.

Yup. Really cool. Wait till you see the pics of purpurescens in a few weeks.

I'm not sure the rest of the community in my terra would like this but how low are your temps and how short your photo periods? 'Might be worth the try. I've also been growing D. slackii for years and never seen them bloom.

The basement area where I grow them only gets residual heat from the furnace and regularly drops into the low 40's at night. Days are in the 50's or 60's depending on the weather. I grow them right beside my tuberous Drosera and certain ZA species which love these temps. I should throw my D.slackii and D.hamiltonii down there as well come to think of it.....

Dang! It sounds like I need a basement. I can't match those temps but I'd be very curious to see if they encourage slackii and hamiltonii to bloom.

Dayum mang! Your glandulifera's really going off! You're beating me and Luca for sure! Anyone else get one??
 
  • #452
Yeah Greg, the glandulifera is growing much faster than anticipated. It's very common for seed grown plants to grow at irregular rates.

I'll probably throw them down there this weekend. I assume at least with D.hamiltonii that flowers will come in spring after temps go up and light cycle is raised. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you Man-Maiden.

Mark, you may be interested to hear that D.spiralis is also sending up a flower stalk for me for the first time. Pics to follow shortly.......

Lovely plants. It's funny how you can see bladders in the second picture of the Nepenthes veitchii. Do you use pure sand for the tuberous sundews?

Thank you. Those bladders are from U.longifolia which has become a huge pest in my Nepenthes collection. The tuberous Drosera are in a mix of about 3 parts sand to 1 part peat. I'll be trying some in pure sand this year though.

Some nice progress, dude. Seeing well grown plants when there's a ******* blizzard outside really gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling.
