Hi Edward

Glad to hear that your collection is expanding.....Just to let you know i think you have to email or give fauzi a call before you go to his nursery.If you are visiting him during the weekends i think he will be selling at subang parade and if you're going there you have to make a call on what neps you want him to bring there.

Hi Edward. I would suggest that if you are just starting out with Drosera that you try some of the easier to grow species first. D. regia is a plant that generally prefers a cooler root system and a definate cool period through out the year. I am not trying to discourage you from growing the plant, merely suggesting that you get some experience with a few others first as this one can be wuite picky about it's growing conditions. It also requires a fairly large pot as it grows unlike many other Drosera that can be grown happily in 4 or 5 inch pots. Cheers.

thanks, strath76! maybe I won't buy the seeds, cause I will be visiting fauzi. Oh, ya thanks for the advice, kentosauras, I will try to call Fauzi. the week before, he didn't go to subang parade. By the way, he only sells neps???? My friend tells me he has a lot of other CPs.

Cheers

Sigh, I can't visit Fauzi's nursery until the school holidays! Nvm......

Finally got to take photos of my CPs using a very lame digital cam that I got for free. Pictures are rather blear, but still ok.:1thumbup::1thumbup:

I call my sarracenia purpurea (Sara). My VFT is Gimli. Nepenthes rafflesiana is called Max.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

For your info, the container that is covered with plastic is actually a terrarium for my 1st VFT, Veni. => He is the one suffering the problems of root rot. Poor veni has lost all his traps but he is growing new ones. hopefully he will survive.

Now, I guess it sounds weird but naming plants are fun! I talk to them everday.......:tongue:

Re: edwardyeeks list of plants (note:REALLY little)
 

Yesterday I visited my friend's house. He is the one who got me into CPs. I got d. binata seeds from him and a stem cutting of nep. miranda.

Just need help, should I cold stratify the seeds or warm stratify??? I visited two websites and one says cold while the other says warm. Currently the seeds are at the the balcony, I have potted them yesterday. :confused: need help, seeds were taken from flowers that just dried up from my friends d. binata.

Cheers

Re: edwardyeeks list of plants (note:REALLY little)
 

If the seeds are really fresh keep warm, they should germinate quite quickly. The binata the seeds came from is most likely binata var dichotoma 'Small Red' as it is the only binata form that can self pollinate, all other forms need two different clones for successful pollination.

Said my prayers to one of my VFT today. Veni has went to heaven.....................:crying::crying::crying :

Cheers

Re: edwardyeeks list of plants (note:REALLY little)
 

So far I haven't killed any plants(excluding seedlings). I hope none of them die.(especially the VFT and Sarra as they have dormancy).

Re: edwardyeeks list of plants (note:REALLY little)
 

I hope you get another VFT that will survive, edward.
