Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

Got some Drosera menziesii from Donny some time ago and they have now sprouted, 5 points so far.

Will try chronicle the growth in pictures as much as possible. These first pictures are taken today but they sprouted about 3 weeks ago.

Sorry pictures are blurr. Ignore the D binata and D burmanii.

Well done, they look like plants that will flower this season.

Interesting! These plants look like D indica huh...

Re: Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

But this one has tubers. Initailly it grows a thin leader then only leaf.

What are those green thing on the second pic?The seedlings or weed?

Re: Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

By september they should be flowering and heading for dormancy shortly after that. They should have daughter tubers coming next season. The Pink Rainbow spend most of the year in dormancy or waiting to break dormancy.

Im jalous... All my tuber is gone. I planted it too deep!!!!

Re: Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

Nice growing Ben. I have some of these in waiting to germinate. I hope you get them through to next season. How are youplanning on managng the dormancy? I would be interested to hear.

Marvin,

The green stuff inthe second pic looks like algae or moss coming up. I often get this on some of my pots but it doesn't seem to harm the seedlings at all.

Re: Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

Dormancy should not be problem. Just let the pots dry out. I just happy to see them growing in a tropical conditions.

Casey: talk you in janurary, I will have more menzesii tubers then.

Re: Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

If there are daughters I can pass some to you casey. No worries.

Sign of dormancy? When the above ground plant material dries up? Just keep it dry right?

Adam, hope your seeds will germinate for you.
