Just recieved 2 packets of seeds.....

i just recieved a envelope from Hong Kong, thanks to sundewrex, it contained the D. spatulata "Hong Kong" that he offered and was nice enough to send me but it also contained a lil ziplock of D. oblanoeolata "Hong Kong, Sunset Peak" if i read the writing correctly, that i wasnt expecting. ive never heard of this species let alone the local. can i plant it in the usual peat/perilite mix i normally use? any special requirements? any pictures?

Drosera oblolanceolata is a close D. spatulata relative, and is grown much the same as that species. The plants have a rather unpredictable period of dormancy when growth stops, and the arms do not elongate. Cooler temps. and removal from tray watering are advisable when this happens. This is a very beautiful Drosera species. Enjoy!
 
thanks for the info once again Tamlin. you are a a great source of knowlege.
