I finally was able to grab one pot of it.
The Plant arrived pretty fine, beautiful, and minuscule.
Then some days later I was observing its particular way of deploying its "necked" traps,
( a long and twisting process: neck-corkscrewing them instead of a straight-up movement )
and took this picture <left> where I could show all the phases and compare it to a normal Dionea <Right>
After taking that picture using Macro still exploring around, the camera in my hand, I got my first surprise....
.... seeds were germinating UNDER the visible plant's traps, not yet rooted .... roots still showing out.
I did suppose it was my duty to save them urgently !
The issue: some plants were under 2mm !!!
I used my electronic's forceps!!
They are small enough for e-components, so they did the job pretty well. The proof is I was able to save 7 of them!!!
This picture is taken one month after the repotting
"Microb" in the white pot was just a seed with 2 leaves at the time I repotted it and the others "in vivo"
I had to take the lighted magnifying stand to work and to see them good enough to not do damage.
No idea if any of them could make it when I did it !!!
B U T
now all of them are in a pretty astounding growing rush.
This morning Microb deployed his 5th leaf, and its diameter is now 4mm !!!
Hurra for the Microb !!
Today's picture. Little-finger tip for dimension.
