I think you'd better change the medium.

Hi Ali,

Lol a member from this forum said it was and when i look at other N mixta x fusca it looks pretty much alike but i don't have much pics on it.Some people say that N fusca hybrids has a red colouration on its stem just a little.Anyway i'll check out if im wrong then i'll change it

Hi Law ok as soon as i get some LFS i'll change the medium but go some worm in it scary....but the worm not disturbing la

I got my 1st ever nep, a YG rafflesiana Johor spotted from a local Giant, can't bare the sight of neps slowly dying away... so have to "rescue" it , have "rescued" quite a few neps from local nurseries and hypermarket ever since...

Nice plants you have there, Ken. The first sarra is a S. mitchelliana, not sure of the 2nd one as it is still quite small. It's easier to ID when the plant grow into it's full potential.
Try place it under full sun to get it's optimum growth. Post it again after that for ID. I think there will be other sifu here to give you the answer.

Hi cpnut,

Yeah normally plants from areas like this they're CP's dont look really well.When i got it,it has 5 leaves with just one pitcher on it.Not to say it was in good conditions when i bought it but it was fine looking.

Hi TS,

Thanks for idying one of my sarrs..i am giving it as much sun as i can give it gets about 4 hours of direct sunlight or more.These sarrs are very common around the local nurseries.I'll try to give them more so that they'll get nice colours

Hi TS,

S.mitchelliana is a hybrid between S purpurea and S leochophylla rite???Not sure if the spelling is rite or not.Anyone knows where to get some nice looking droseras/sundews for a cheap price and is somewhere near my area?? Because i dont seem to see any in the nurseries i go to.I would wanna visit fauzi's nursery after my final year exam but for now i will be aticking to my plain old plants.

And also now i am hanging my bicalcarata on a broomstick like i hang all my other guys..and leaving one of my rafflesiana and veitchii x fusca on the floor so i was just thinking since N bical lives near a swamp so it has very wet conditions should i not hang it and let my raff hang up there??I don't wanna move my N veitchii x fusca cos im just trying if it likes dapled direct sunlight under my mini palm tree.I know this will not change much but was just thinking maybe the bical would wanna sit on the floor and my raff go up there.Anyone can give an opinion??
