OMG! Beautiful droseras!

hongrui,

Can you share your cultivation technic or routine for your prolifera? day and night temperatures and sunlight intensity.

What media do you use?

Thanks.

Re: Random Drosera Pictures
 

i keep D. prolifera in shade, mix is 1:1 peat and sand, with a top dressing of sand. no special reason for the top dressing though. because the pot is in shade, i guess the max temp is maybe 30C, drops down at night to maybe 24C.

i tried growing D. schizandra in the same conditions but it rotted away. maybe because my humidity wasn't high enough.

very nice tarence! pygmies just don't like me...

Re: Random Drosera Pictures
 

yours never flowered hongrui ? i kinda looked forward to seeing this particular pygmy flower coz of its famed orange flowers...it was a nice surprise.

Re: Random Drosera Pictures
 

Hmmm, looks like I can never grow this in my area. The temperatures in my place is unpredictable. When it rains, it'll be around the same temperature as your growing condition. However, if it's a sunny day, temperature at night do not really go down.

I've already killed 2 prolifera and 2 schizandra. :crying:

Is the area where your prolifera is very humid?

Re: Random Drosera Pictures
 

tarence, nope, i only have 1 left, and its just surviving.

David, its not particularly humid, i think. i have not bothered to go measure the RH though. did you keep both your D. prolifera and D. schizandra in shade or in bright light?

I tried one in my terrarium with only one 18 watt PLL light and 90% humidity. It died. Then I tried another one at the window of my apartment. It received bringht light. No direct sunlight. It also died.
