Today when I was about to top up the container with water, I noticed the plantlets.

But like Tarences' son (that's the first D. adeleae that I got), the ****es are moody too. One day they're putting nice leaves with red dew, the next day they're brown all over then repeat. I put them in shade, full sun, bright shade, places that I cant see them, bring them out again (sighs) they just wont grow like the ones seen on the net. But they're alive. it's like one of those love hate love hate relationship. That's for 1 D. adeleae. I got one 4", five half inch ones, that a total of six D. adeleae, six times the headache. Hehehe...

L - Beautiful sundew which turns all red and is large H - It came from TP all dead and mushy. Only a few thread-like roots were found in the media. L - Plantlets appeared from the roots and they did very well. L - Within the same year, I could pass numerous D. adelae plants out to interested growers. H - All of my own plants suddenly die back. H - Very few offshoot from roots survived. H - I lost my last plant. L - For the love of it, I went and got a few plants back from the growers I gave them to. H - I have a few struggling plants while other growers have them growing out of those netted Nep pots! L - It produced plantlets on a leaf. ![]() ![]() Senior Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is offline ![]() ![]() ![]() Joined: Jun 2007 Gender: Male ![]() Posts: 393 Location: Langkawi ![]() « Reply #7 on 23 Oct, 2007, 12:44 »it's ok cindy... when that happens, you know we're here for you... for emotional support and also to poke em back in... heheheh.... « Last Edit: 23 Oct, 2007, 12:46 by lisham »Link to Post - Back to Top ![]() Global Moderator ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is offline ![]() Joined: Aug 2007 Gender: Female ![]() Posts: 412 Location: Singapore ![]() « Reply #8 on 23 Oct, 2007, 13:08 » Quote: also to poke em back in OUCH!! ![]() ![]() Global Moderator ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is offline ![]() Joined: Apr 2007 Gender: Male ![]() Posts: 1,523 Location: Bandar Kinrara , Puchong ![]() « Reply #9 on 23 Oct, 2007, 13:30 »Lisham : there shall be no eye-poking here, even tho it`s Cindy`s. heheh. Cindy : we`ll assist to re-slot your eyeballs. do both eyes look the same & do they have L & R labells ? coz we might mistakenly re-slot the left to right & vice versa. *smile* I love d.adelae too. It was one of my first sundews. Back then, I only had spatulatha & adelae. You can imagine my frustrations when the adelae decided to do it`s magic tricks periodically. Now you see it , then you don`t. Once I came back frm a 1 week holiday and the whole adelae `bush` had disappeared. *aiyo* « Last Edit: 23 Oct, 2007, 13:42 by tarence »Link to Post - Back to Top ![]() Administrator ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is offline ![]() ![]() ![]() Joined: Dec 2006 Gender: Male ![]() Posts: 2,326 Location: Kuala Lumpur ![]() « Reply #10 on 23 Oct, 2007, 13:42 »I have also found this species to be so difficult to take care of. I've gotten plants from Lim and Tarence and all of them have died. The latest I've gotten from a friend in Singapore. So far so good. Lots of dews and growing new leaves, but I suspect it could be due to the cool weather because of the rain we are experiencing everyday in KL. Kinda happy with the weather as my sundews are growing better. I really hope this batch of adelaes survive in the long run for me. « Last Edit: 23 Oct, 2007, 13:43 by David »Link to Post - Back to Top ![]() Global Moderator ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is offline ![]() Joined: Apr 2007 Gender: Male ![]() Posts: 1,523 Location: Bandar Kinrara , Puchong ![]() « Reply #11 on 23 Oct, 2007, 13:43 »Don`t tell them about the d.capensis David...oops.
