They're gorgeous! What are its growing conditions? I can't keep mine alive after the first couple months. I lost the one on the left and I fear the other will die soon.
Awesome! Here's my only one out of a couple of hundred seeds to pop up:

I don't know why I didn't have a higher germination rate... they were in a bag that was about 95% humidity and 85-95 degrees fahrenheit.
WOW! Beautiful!
They resemble a Byblis, do they not?
They are always hungry.Scott,
I think I've read somewhere that they must be fed / get nutrients when young or they will die.
they are not difficult to grow.I may have to add this to the long list of plants that I'm just not going to cultivate. At least there's a longer list of ones that I can cultivate... and that now includes Darlingtonia and Petiolaris Complex.
Very nice plant! What's the growing conditions of it? Does it grow year round or does it have a dormancy? How long do they live? What kind of light do they need, etc?
I would really like one of those.
thk youimpressive. they are beautiful
pictures cant justified its beautiful, infact, the flower have many colour tone.Nice! I've never seen pics of flowers on this species.
Thank you Mr Dawnstar. And yes, this plant is stubborn, and it needs constant tempreture.Just a note: I had subsequent germination from the same pot of this species several months apart. Might have been a fluke chance, but I would say don't discard the pot. As a close relative of D. indica, the seed is as stubborn as D. indica can be.
It's wonderful to see someone having success with these plants, which apparently hate upstate NY. Evenly warm nights are probably needed. Thank you very much for sharing, and I hope you get much seed!
Hello,
Nice plants indeed...I grow a few different forms of Drosera indica too. Being a summer annual in Australia, I tend to keep mine on the drier side, only watering when the media surface becomes barely damp to the touch. My mix is 3/4 sand to 1/4 peat (the same as I use for Pygmy Drosera) and they seem to love it.
Well Done!
Happy Growing,
Brian.
