Cindy, is that a flower stalk emerging from the second pic? Is it possible that this species is somewhat an annual, behaving similarly to a D. burmannii. Mine recently died as well, not from the same causes.
My first plant died after flowering. It was the only D. sessilifolia I had but fortunately, the seeds are viable and I got this now.
Anyway, I was just wondering about the redness at the petioles because almost all the plants in other pots turn red as well! But the plants are back to green again these couple of days.
It was noted on a previous topic (a few years back) that the rosettes of D. sessilifolia often turn reddish in the centre when they flower. Haven't ever noticed it on any of my plants but mine seem to be grown in much more light than those in the images, particularly the first couple.
Wow, D.burmannii has never germinated for you?? Do all your sources microwave their seeds??
I remember having quite the opposite problem with this species, seeds kept germinating anywhere and everywhere! Try a few more sources, many people have this in cultivation, it shouldn't be hard to find. As for the ID of your plants, apparently a few people are trading around seeds of D.burmannii labelled as D.sessilifolia...
