Roridula gorgonias
« Thread Started on Apr 8, 2008, 6:02am »
Below is a photo of my Roridula gorgonias. I was lucky to get this recently at a CP meeting in Melbourne. This would have to be the stickiest plant I have ever owned.

Yeah Robert. From what I have read Roridula has a resin based dew. When you touch the plant it takes a bit of force to get free.
Unfortunately for me this plant requires a bug to digest prey for it. The bug is a Pameridea and is not found in Australia. I will try experimenting with diluted feertiliser when the plants begin growth in the warmer months.
