Dew-stravaganza!

[mcmcnair]

I've had this discussion with Wireman before, his photos show their difference better than mine. At the base of the petioles I would say that the hairs on D. venusta are densely hirsute if not lanulose whereas I would describe D. sp. "South Africa" more as a hirsute to scabrous pubescence. Aside from that there's not much of a difference.

 

[Wire Man]

There are only minor differences between those two. Sp. "South Africa" almost always makes really messed up flowers, too.

Those things formed some really long stems.

Probably one of my favorite setups to date. My Pygmy Sundew Mini-Terrace Terrarium!

First a few setup pictures
I used Dollar Store popsicle sticks that I cut to length as necessary

Filled it with a 3:1 silica sand: peat mix

And watered it all in

And about 2-3 weeks later I added the gemmae and the waiting game began

Fast forward a little over 6 months...............

And the finished product a little over 6 months after sowing the gemmae

[Sundrew]

Great color and dew! Have you upped the lighting recently? That's a really spectacular natalensis, mine have never been that read and often have acid buildup in the center.

 

[mcmcnair]

I took them out of my growrack and put them into the new setup I posted about a little bit ago. They're just a little closer to the lights but it makes a world of difference

 

[mcmcnair]

I got bored today and I decided to take some photos of my pygmy dews which look pretty good. Well some of them anyway... I was away from home for a week so they're overdue for some water, but I wanted to take pictures first.

Hopefully next fall I'll get some gemmae from everything.

Wonderful update Mason! I envy your pygmies. They seem to be in the hands of a master!

 

[Wire Man]

Nice fuzzies!

I love the pygmies!
