Default Re: Drosera photos

Khaos,

Yeah those droseras are great! Still don't know when I can start cultivating those, but I have a few questions which I hope you can help.

1. With regards to your capensis, I too have not so great sucess with them, you mentioned 2 types of environment, bright in greenhouse and full sun outdoors, which one is best for your capensis? I am stumped really why my capensis are not happy, heck in your photo of the alba, there are plantlets on the potting mix like crazy. Do they really need cold nights?

How deep are your pots for them?

Do you think they like their roots wet? or dry? I put mine under water tray all the time.

2. About your potting mix, I probably asked you this already before, but would like to ask again, can you please share what is yoru potting mix?

Out of frustration just today I set up an aquarium that is set on it's side, and put my droseras in there thinking that they don't really like rain, so they are getting good sun, not too hot coz of the open side.

Thanks in advance.

TTFN
