Dexenthes
Aristoloingulamata
So last night I discovered this specie online and have become absolutely smitten. It's got to be one of the most beautiful of all dews!
It's tuberous, from SW Australia, that much I know. And a quick search online found one ebay listing for seeds of this subspecies.
How rare is it in cultivation? Am I looking for a next to impossible plant to find? How likely is it that the seeds will be any good if I did order them? And how likely is it that the seeds are just wild harvested? I don't want to support that type of business if it's true...
But to those of you that grow this plant, if there are any, what conditions does it need? Lowland? Arid? more temperate? And how do you simulate the dry season?
Also include any pics or relevant stories you've had regarding the difficulties or ease that you've experienced cultivating this plant. Please.
Thanks in advance!
