Ok... As I understand it, Pygmy drosera like a sandy, peat based medium... I have never, ever once had luck with a peat based medium. I have a D. ericksonnii in Peat-Sand-Vermiculite mixture, quite rocky... It's alive, but barely hanging on. I tried a P. moranensis in a peat/sand medium, but it never really did much... Now, this may be due to the fact that they're different species, but when I planted my P. ssp.[Pachuca] in Long fibered sphagnum, they took off like weeds. They're large, VERY greasy pings...
Is it possible to grow Pygmies in LFS? Maybe I'm just being, erm, dumb... But, it really seems that I have no luck with peat, whether the plant be a Utric, a sundew or a ping... I figure I might as well go with the flow of how things work out...
The reason I ask is because in the spring I think I might wnat to clear out some of my collection and start collecting pygmies...
Thanks,
Greg
