    Paracarnivorous lady in my garden

    Hi everybody! I share with you some pictures of a mystery plant that grows naturally in my garden (as a weed). Viscosity of the substance produced by trichomes is far more efficient than with droseras. I'd like to identify it (at least the family name) Is it, according to you, a...

I wanted to upgrade to a 4' but I wanted people's opinions on a 4 bulb or a 6 bulb, with the 6 bulb it totals at 324w and I...

    Opinions on Standing Water for Droseras

    Hello, I recently got back into the hobby after I saw this thread and instantly wanted to create something similar. The only real question that I have is, is it okay to keep the whole tank submerged in about 1-2" of water without any movement for the water. I mostly want to make it a...

    Making lots more Drosera binata 'Marston's Dragon'

    Individual saucer or tray?

    Well, this Droseras will touch each other if I put them in a tray. Aesthetics isn't important to me as long as they are happy. It doesn't really matter if they touch each other right? Also, water in individual saucers evaporate so quickly. How do you organize your crazy growing droseras?
