Default Re: Drosera capensis

Normally the basic forms of capensis will self pollinate. In fact they set seeds so well here they are pest, jumping pot and taking over other pot with smaller Drosera in it. I just got rid off few hundred seedling cleaning up my sale plants of capensis.
The plant in the photo is (it is only one plant with two growing points) a seed grown plant. The rosette was level with the potting mix. They will form a woody stem and multiple growing points in about 2 to 3 years from seeds here in South Australia.
One thing, if you do have good size plant that die off and the plant looks dead do not throw the pot out. I seen them come back from their roots up to 3 to 4 months of been completely dry. Drosera binata and hamlitonii does the same trick if the rosette dies off.
