Hey thanks. I love sundews.. and tuberous season is about to begin. So I thought it'd be a good idea to get something like this going.
 
Oooo.
I like this idea. :spider:
Ditto. ^.^

EDIT: One question regarding rule #8. What if the plant isn't 6 months old yet? As we all know, most dews grow quite a bit faster than Nepenthes, for example, and, from seed or gemmae, many are mature before 6 months of age. So, what if the MOTHER plant has been grown by the owner for at least 6 months? And the posted plant(s) have been grown their entire lives by the owner, though that not yet being 6 months? ;p
 
I'll edit rule #8. If seed grown by owner, entry is allowed at any age.
 
I like this very much! I shall enter soon enough...
 
Is the competition to be judged on the quality of the plant, the rarity of the plant, the quality of the photo, or all of the above?
 
D. prolifera uhm... proliferating :p

That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for! How much for that whole tray shipped?
 
  • #11
Sorry buddy, that's my propagation tray. Babies get pulled from it to grow up, but the main plants stay here to proliferate. Why not get one or two and let them do their thing like this? Anyway, off topic :X my pic is the best in this whole contest!!! hehehe :-))

Can you enter old pics?
 
  • #16
Ok, so... what about pygmies? Does the 6 month rule count?
 
  • #19
:drool: In what conditions do you keep that in, Kula? Mine only keeps one leaf at time in the low humidity I have it in, and won't get very large at all.

Great shot, Mach!!!


How often do you feed yours, Devon?
Mine only keeps 3-4 small leaves on it unless i feed every leaf. Then it takes off.
