D. Auyan tepui
D. Dielsiana

Thanks again!!
Not actually true. As long as the seeds are fresh all they require is a cool/cold period in winter to germinate. Mine are sown in early fall and germinate as soon as the night temps drop down to about 2 deg C (sorry don't know F). I definitely agree you will need alot of patience though to raise them to maturity- definitely not beginners plants.[b said:Quote[/b] (shokuchuu @ Nov. 28 2005,12:19)]Well, first off, the erythrorhiza and stolonifera are tuberous Drosera - they'll need a good loooooong hot summer to germinate in the fall/winter.
Seandew, that's extremely good to know. I'll get sowing then![b said:Quote[/b] (Seandew @ Nov. 28 2005,3:58)]Not actually true.

The D. Auyan Tepui is most likely just a form of D. spatulata. For some reason these seed have been passed throughout the world and always turn out to be D. spatulata.
As the others have said, D. dielsiana is easy to grow and will germinate after 3-4 weeks in good conditions with fresh seed.
Because growers who do not have much idea about Drosera keep obtaining this seed, growing it to maturity and passing the subsequently produced seed off as D. sp. "Auyan Tepui" without realising it is only D. spatulata.[b said:Quote[/b] (*Barracuda_45* @ Nov. 28 2005,8:58)]Christian Dietz, if thats the case on Auyan Tepui and they are no longer in cultivation then how can people say thats what these seeds are truely from?? Are people miss labling these dews??

Most certainly! The most important thing though is to ensure that the seed is fresh (difficult to do).[b said:Quote[/b] (The Griffin @ Nov. 29 2005,12:07)]Seriously?
So if you stuck the pot in the fridge every night and then took it out for the lights each day, you "might" get germination?
Thanks,
