« Thread Started on 8 Dec, 2007, 14:50 »I guess I'll start my first real post with the bunch of plants that I find easiest to propagate: Pygmy Droseras!!!

Note: Please excuse my lousy camera skills...and some of these pics have been posted elsewhere before, so if they look familiar, that's why http://s3.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif

You are?That's great!! Good luck, hope they do well for you! http://s3.images.proboards.com/smiley.gif

Yup, they produce gemmae, that's why I find them so easy to propagate. I gotta admit that harvesting the gemmae is rather time consuming, heh. You can see some gemmae being produced in 3 of the pics I posted.

Most of them are grown indoors, but they have to make do with whatever light comes in through the window. I'm too lazy to set up lights or a terrarium for any of my CPs, heh. Some do get air-con since they're in my room and I turn on the air-con at night, but I don't cover them so they have to make do with the humidity drop at night. They don't need cooling or growlights though: the ones I grew out from gemmae do okay outdoors and I've got the various people I gave baby D. pulchellas to who can attest to this, so don't worry if you intend to grow your pygmies outdoors, they can grow just fine. http://s3.images.proboards.com/smiley.gif Link to Post - Back to Top http://s3.images.proboards.com/ip.gif Loggedvenusflytrapman
