Following my -stravaganza theme of thread titles, I am starting a thread for my sundews. Up next are my pings and heliamphora. I wouldn't say I have a lot of sundews but my collection is steadily growing. I grow all my sundews in my homemade grow rack which I'll show a picture of in this thread. I built it so I could grow mass amounts of petiolaris dews and overwinter sarr seedlings. It is pretty basic with egg crate shelves, pvc frame and two 4 tube, 4 ft High Output T5s hanging down the sides. I get temps up to around 92F during the day and it drops to about 72F at night in winter and around 76F in summer. Humidity is a little lower than I would like but I'm working on fixing that with some disc humidifiers. Without further ado.... the Dews!
Here is my grow rack

It has bloomed for me, here are the blooms

D. sp. South Africa from Wireman... unfortunately this plant as well as a few others have been attacked by a pest, you'll see the damage progression over the next couple pics

D. aliciae from Wireman... it has pests too
IMG_3528 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
IMG_3896 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
D. natalensis from Wireman... pests...
IMG_3892 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
D. hookeri, it went dormant right after I got it almost a year ago and it decided it wanted to break dormancy despite it being in petiolaris dew conditions
IMG_3893 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
D. petiolaris
IMG_3532 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
D. petiolaris Albino Form... dormant right now
IMG_3894 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
D. dilatato-petiolaris... unfortunately the pests have hit this too
IMG_3533 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
IMG_3903 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
D. capensis Alba after going dormant over the summer... not sure why it did that
IMG_3890 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
D. fulva, looking awesome compared to everything else
IMG_3534 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
D. lanata also looking awesome, whatever pest I have doesn't seem to like wooly plants because both lanata and fulva have not been affected
IMG_3537 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
D. paradoxa from jht-union... also got hit by my mystery pest immediately after repotting...
IMG_3901 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
IMG_3902 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
My pygmy dews, lookin pretty good... and not so pygmy anymore they're bigger than the spathulatas in the spathulata platter

D. capensis Giant from Brie
IMG_3539 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
IMG_3888 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
IMG_3900 by SarraceniaMutation, on Flickr
And now for my infamous pests, no idea what they are anybody know? My best guess is thrips/aphids, not really sure.

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed!
