. I am new to growing tuberous sundews and would appreciate any advice on how to keep the babies alive. Many thanks in advance. (They are growing in 2:1 sandeat mixture).
Did you happen to post a message about 12 hours ago regarding this issue? If so, I recall that the temps were 35 C, and you wondered if that was too high Anyway, keep the seedlings below 78 F. According to the ICPS seedbank data that is crutial.
As for soil mixture, 2:1 is perfect. My seedlings are growing in the same medium. Give these plants as much light as possible!
D. peltata are quite easy to grow. They have a wide distribution so should tollerate a wide variety of conditions. The main thing is to keep them cool and wet. I would also try to keep the photo period bellow 12 hours although it has been sugested that photo period is not a factor for inducing dormancy.
Well, the temperature is stil roughly the same. I cannot find any place cooler than 35ºC. The temperature at my other growing spot, where I am propagating D. filiformis, goes up to 44ºC in the day!
Lets see whether I can start a whole colony of super heat-resistant Droseras!
