Forked sundew?

[schloaty]

Hi Guys and Gals,
Wondering if anyone can help me out here. I have a pot of D. Spatulata that I got over the internet. Nice, healthy plants making lots of babies

.
Questiong is: Two seedlings don't look like the other ones. They almost look like forked sundews of some sort... I think they are the result of seeds that fell in the pots before shipping, but I don't know how long they can take before the germinate. Does anyone know how long forked sundew seeds can just sit there?

you should try to remove the seedlings carefully if the spathulata's are taking over. You can easily take them out by using a pair of twisers and taking out the seedling (s) with thier dirt ball around roots. replant in a mix of peat and sand and keep in similar growing conditions as spathulata for now. keep us updated. If you are willing to trade one, please let me know!

Drosera seedlings all look the same... don't they?

yah basically

Not really. On the eye level you can notice that some seeds are more oval (egg-shaped), while others are longer and finer.

Sundews can be propagated by seed (several are self polinating), leaf cuttings, root cuttings, or gemmae (pygmy Drosera).  There is also tissue culture.
