Hi,
I received some plants from a friend today, sort of. They consisted of a couple of Genlisea species, and a Utric. They were in the mail for 3 weeks. Needless to say, I can't even find corpses. They had been wrapped in Sphagnum, which I had decided to throw into water to see if I could find anything at all. I might have found a couple of Genlisea leaves in one of the jars so far. They are really tiny and hard to make out.
My question is this. Assuming there is any living material in any of the 3 jars, should I fish it out immediately if i see it, and plant it right away, or can I safely leave them in there to recover a bit? I'm not so concerned with the Utric., which I know can fare well enough under water. But how is it for Genlisea?
Thanks.
Chris
