Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I probably should have given you the species that I am trying to grow.

The Drosera seed that I listed on my earlier question in this section of the forum are below. However, I have ordered some others since and listed them first. Based on the answers I plan to sow the ones in the second list apart from Drosera filiformis and Intermedia which I plan to stratify and sow next spring. Also, with the tuberous Drosera like Peltata, I plan to sow at the end of February. We are in mid Summer at the moment. I am at 757 m altitude in the tropics near Cairns.

In the first list I think Whittacki is tuberous and should be sown in late February. However, I am not sure if there are any others that should not be sown now or which ones in the first list below require special treatment. Do you know of any others?

admirabilis
auriculata
Binata
capensis ‘Giant’
capillaris
chrysolepis (=pusilla)
dielsiana
indica ‘Purple flower’
natalensis
oblanceolata ‘Hong Kong’
spatulata ‘Fraser Is., QLD’ (Lovellae)
ventusa
Whittacki


The ones I listed on the previous question are:

Slackii
Peltata
Aliciae
Filiformis
Burmannii
Intermedia
Nidiformis
Dielsiana
Capensis Broad Leaf
Capensis Red form


Should the above Drosera seed grow well in the terrarium and sitting in a tray of water? I thought that I would put them in the terrarium together with the Nepenthes cuttings.

Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard.
