I got this plant approximately a month ago, from CPgeek (thanks Rob!
) with 2 leaves.
I was expecting something much slower growing (max 4 leaves in a growth period of 6 months, apparently) and temperamental, but nooo!![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
This is the third leaf it's produced in my care, in just over a month.
Drosera arcturi -Turoa, Mt. Ruapehu, NZ. 1550 m.
Conditions:
I grow it in my basement
13-16*C nighttime, about 17-20*C daytime.
100% Canadian LFSM
Water level is pretty high, just an inch below soil surface.
Lighting: 9 watt CFL desklamp, 2 inches above plant![oh :-O :-O](/forumsss/images/smilies/oh.gif)

(And they told me it couldn't be done! Muahaha!)
Now to see if it will survive the summer heat...
