Last year, I had my D. adelae growing outside in the shade of a tree. It did fine.[b said:Quote[/b] (Cindy @ Mar. 29 2005,7:39)]Btw, how should I grow D.adelae? Under florescent lights? Or out there in the open?
How much light can it take?
*photos coming soon
I grow mine in 50/50 peat/sand, with a little LFS thrown in as well.[b said:Quote[/b] (ZAK @ Mar. 29 2005,10:48)]Well I live in Texas and I grow mine outside year round. I've found for me they do best in 100% LFS. All the D. adelae I've had in a 50/50 peat sand mix have gone belly up!
In my case Jimscott they weren't playing opossum they were playing "middle of the road-feet in the air-Armadillo"
Same here. I think if you grow it only under moderate light the tentacles only become red...never tried to grow it under strong light though - thought they wouldn't like it. Say does anyone know when people say D.adelae doesn't like the light, is it the light or heat that they are sensitive to. I guess either way you could probably acclimate it to grow under strong light.[b said:Quote[/b] (jimscott @ Mar. 30 2005,4:11)]And to think it is the "lance leaf sundew". I was surprised when mine had that round leaf look - and it was growing oh so slowly.
