My Adelae
« Thread Started on 17 Apr, 2008, 9:14 »Just thought I would share a picture of a D. adelae that I have had now for a month or two. It has begun to take off after recovering from the stress of mail order.

Athene, the gammae are starting to perk up as well. I finally moved them back into a sunny location 2 days ago and the new leaves are starting to perk up. The D. spathulata and David's D. binata multifida f. extreme are also looking more perky with the new location. Tomorrow I'm off to the rain forest for a week of kayaking and plant exploration so I've covered them so they can stay in the sun without getting blasted by any rainstorms. (Don't worry, my foreman's wife has strict instructions to mist all the Droseras (and fern sporelings and neps seedlings) 3-4 times a day while I'm gone! )

Thanks again to all the donors! Link to Post - Back to Top Loggedameliepoulain

I don't think you should get the droseras misted too frequently, it'll wash off the dew & worn off the plant since they keep having to produce more.

why don't just fill the water container to the brim & ask the lady to top it if it dries up Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedAthene's CP Growlist
