My drosera collection..........
« Thread Started on Jun 10, 2007, 11:54am »
My d.spatulatha seem to be flourishing in the recent rainy spells. Look at the many many flower stalks coming up.



The d.adelae also seems to have increased in size...as usual, waiting for it to flower. Choong says his is double the size of mine. Whoa!



D.filiformis has recovered from it`s dormancy. Similiar to David`s Byblis, it`s sticky leaves tend to glue together horribly whenever it gets hit by water



The d.intermediate from David seems to be slowly but surely growing. I`ve thrown it outside to get rain & sun & it seems to be adjusting well. I worry when large raindrops fall on it tho as it is about the size of a 5 cts coin.



The little d.burmanni from Wilson is doing well, it`s even starting to flower. Definitely gets top marks for it`s cuteness.



Here`s the d.binata. Guess what ? it decided to flower.....LIm, am i gonna get seeds ?



My recovering d.capensis...Wilson ( who gave it to me 3 weeks ago ) says it is probably acclimatising to my house`s conditions & I think he`s rite as I finally see dew on its leaves. Yay....(24.6.2007)

Spatulata jungle. I think spatulata just like your place, they grow so well and never fail to impress people.

wow. Tarence, is this a drosera show competition?

All of them looks so healthy. Good on you.

I don't have such luck with them because my place can't get enough sunlight. I do have burmanii but they are not red unlike those I saw at TS's place. He places them under direct sun.

thx Isaac.....i think d.filiformis would be able to survive even w/out max sunlite. how many hours of sunlite does your place get ?

wilson : yep. it`s blooming already. love it. can get seeds after this i hope ?

Wilson,

My terrarium has high humidity(I'm growing neps, cryptocoryne, sarras). Somehow my droseras doesn't grow well in it. Light also is another issue, my burmanii growing in my terrarium is growing tall. LOL. Burmanii growing outdoor is normal looking but not red.

ezrena : my adelae gets direct sunlite...if yours is in the shade, perhaps you can slowly introduce it to direct sun. if the main plant dies off, there should be plantlets coming up via the roots. OPerative word here being ` should be`. I find that adelae does better under the sun. in shade, it gets moody & sulky.

Isaac : a tall d.burmanni ? you`ve managed to mutant it or what ? heheh.

it`s interesting what the levels of sunlite ( or lack of it ) will do to our CPs. My d.adelae in the shade is green, broad leafed & `moody`. The one in full sun is narrow, red & very vigorous growing.

Added a pic of my d.binata....i`m hopeful that seeds will follow.
Wilson will prob kill me but I have to report that his d.capensis ain`t doing well in my garden. The flower stalk actually broke into half when it dried up ! Uh oh....I`ve thrown it into full sun now so hopefully it`ll improve....

Yeah, I'm too surprised to see my tall burmani. LOL, in fact it's flowering too! It was normal looking when outside, now indoor, it's tall and flowering.

Aiyor...it's the same Burmanii lah. I germinated all the burmanii outdoor then found that it's overcrowded, moved these 2 indoor for experimenting. Then over 2 months, it grew like this already.

Unhealthy Burmanii growing in weird condition to adapt to the new environment. That's all guys. Nothing special about it.

It is trying to grow tall to get more light! Light loving plant tends to have this "behavior" (should I use this word?)

Yup, agree with TS. VFTs and cactus (light loving plants) also tends to grow with such behavior when they dont receive enough light..

Your capensis, how do you keep it? You moved it into full sun? How were you keeping it before? Should always be in full sun. Mine are doing fine, means it's not our climate. Haha you can grow filis and binatas (Which I want zomg XD ) but the beginner plant capensis you can't grow. So weird hahaha.

Zak : I just got it from Wilson 3 weeks ago....I put it in semi shade before this & that`s when the flower stalk turned black & fell apart. Yeah, mebbe it`s sun deprived. It`s in full sun now, looks like it`s recovering as I finally see dew on its leaves. I never had much luck with d.capensis....

Isaac,

Regarding that 'tall' burmanii, it's actually elongated. Lack of sunlight.

My capensis grow happily under direct sun light. The only disadvantage is the rain water will wash away the dews.

TS: yah ? ok noted.....but like my d.spatulatha, it recovers very quickly from rains. In fact during the rainy season, it seems to grow even faster, provided there`s time on between to `re-charge` its dews & catch insects.
I guess it should be the same for the d.capensis....Is yours a bush or just single plants ? I am dreaming that one fine day, I will have d.capensis clumps & also d. binata clumps, similiar to what I have for the d.spatulatha...

Capensis clumps would be easy. Just let it flower and dont do anything. You'll get clumps in every pot around it XD I grow my sundews under a plastic sheet in a cage. I'm afraid cats would eat another plant so I keep them all in a cage or on top of the cage. The cats can't get on top.

Mine used to be in clump, but after it flowered, suddenly all wilted and die, luckily still managed to get one survived. Now I have only one left. But recently I have successfully propagated two ****es, hehe.

Zak : is yours in clump form yet ? do share a photo if it is. Hey, with your `new` digicam, I would have expected more photos. *wink* btw, wats `XD` ?

I think the smaller rounder droseras are ok after flowering...my d.spatulatha flowers for months without any size or health loss. They die after that but it does take a few months. My d.burmanii is also flowering, all 3 of them. I`ll let them flower though, doubt it`ll kill them.

Hi bifurcatum, if you are worry, just snip them off. Flower stalk will grow back soon after they grow steady. My d burmanni always send out flower stalk even they are still very small right now, I just cut them away to allow the plants to grow stronger, I can always get seeds when I think they are big enough.

Or try with one plant first......rite now. all my 3 new d.burmanii are flowering & i`m letting them. I just cut off my d.binata flower though, coz Savage Garden said it own`t have seeds if it`s a single flower & it would stress the plant out. They didn`t say anything abt cutting off d.intermedia`s flowers though.

My 3 d.burmanii s are flowering at the moment. The flowers are tiny but cute, it`s too windy to take a good shot early in the morn`...you know what, when I tried again at 10:30 a.m., the flowers were already closed ! what laaa ! heheh, looks like it `open shop` for business only in limited hours. Here is the update pic of the plant...it`s grown quite a bit from the old post. I`m feeding them with a lot of mozzies to sustain their energy levels as they flower. Hopefully it`ll help....

Not sure when it'll flower. I'm too busy to take pics and stuff haha. So much work! I'm squeezing my time coming onto this forum already. Btw 'XD' is an emoticon face.

Naw, Naj...they won`t hunt me down.....they`ve been trained to hunt others down though...usually i just show them a photo of who i want hunted down. and they run off like the scavengers they are to do the `job`.

think of those small scavenger dinosaurs in Jurassic park...whassit called ?

which reminds me....i have your photo & also Lisham`s. and david`s....

Tarence, you must then make sure you feed the mozzies first before the mozzies could be fed on your plant. Poor tarence, go buy a bottle of Mopiko to stand by first.

Tarence, so you've already planed to send your beasts againsts Naj, lisham and me huh. Even got our photos already.

Starwars sneak peak part 2:

What Like Stywalker didn't know was the new breed of super warriors were unstable and they turned on him. These are savages from the savage garden of "Peter D'Amato". Luke was overwhelmed and the savages slowly secret digestive enzymes on him and feast on his flesh. Luke went... "arrghhhhh..... helpp.........."

The jedi knights sense a disturbance in the force. But by the time the jedi knights arrive to save Luke, he was already half digested. Still alive but half digested. The knights were Naj, Lisham, Andy and David. The savages then revealed the true identity of Luke Skywalker. He was a fraud. He was the evil supergrand Tarence wearing the "Skywalker" suite, ie. skin.

Using the power of the force, supergrand got up and reach for his light saber. Too bad. before he could grab it, The jedi knights sliced him to pieces with their light saber.

The end...

(starwars music playing....)

Ok lah David, you blew my cover.........i just lurve masquerading as Lukie....light sabers, moon buggies, princesses...the whole works is just too tempting.....heheh.

Yeah, the jedi knights arrived too late to save me...i wonder why they were late...mebbe they were arguing about which nep has the reddest peristome and got carried away. or how fast VFT can move to snap their flies....the end result ? i got half digested.

then sliced up.....i think that`ll hurt......ouch.

heheh....times like these, i`m beginning to like Jabba more & more.

And dont forget Jedi Lisham came to the rescue with a pair of tweezers... to pick on the bits and pieces of spag moss on the drosera tentacles to aid to the total digestion of Tarence skywalker.....

But nowdays always black out so no electricity. No electricity means no artificial lighting, which only means the plants cannot thrive well and the droseras went dormant and Tarence skywalker got away, half-digested and in desperate need of a plastic surgery/face tranplant....

(Later in the movie, we see the half-digested Tarence putting on the Darth Vader mask.... What happened at the end of episode 3 shown in cinemas was just a dream....)

Ok or not?

Hi Tarence,
Can D. Binata propagated thru stem cuttings?
Or.. when we cut the stem, will new shoots grow from the main stem (that is attached with the roots)?

Naj, you can look at page 3 of this thread....those binata plantlets were from a single leaf cutting. i got about 7 baby plants there. so yes, leaf cutting = binata propagation can-do.

haven`t seen any new shoots from the adult plant...but savage garden reports that binata can also be propagated via root cutting. i daren`t try coz have to sacrifice the whole adult plant.

Tarence,
I mean if we cut the stem, between the leaf and the roots - the middle. Then we plant the stem cutting, can it grow?
Yup, most droseras can propagate thru leaf cuttings except burmanni

Sounds like what happened to me. I bought a huge D. binata that had loads of flowers, then its helath declined, so I took the flowers off, but it was too late. There is not one healthy leaf on it anymore. I took a root cutting though and it seems to be working. Like you said, never again will I let it flower. Does anyone know what is going to happen to the mother plant? I can only remember how good it used to look.
P.S. all the sphagnum in the pot also died a mysterious death...

hi vftman.....i actually chopped up ( brutal i know ) the whole plant so there was nothing left of it. oops, correction, after the mother plant collapsed from producing a SINGLE ( hilarious ! ) flower, there was nothing on top on the media except for a black stump. so i went for the roots to get my plantlets....
what has happened to your mother plant ?

how do you cut the roots to get plantlets? Do you just go snip snop randomly? Or do you just make scores on the roots?

I'm getting very nervous, my binata from Lim is flowering, he said to just let it be So I'm preparing for the worse, just in case

As for leaves cutting, do I take the whole leaf complete with the stem, or I need just the forked part.

Mine is still ok although it got flower. I means the multifida variety.
But my T form gone after flowering. Ha ha...

If you are worry about it, just snip the flower. Because it won't self pollinated.

Athene : wash off all the medium.....look at the roots. Healthy roots would have white tips. Cut those into a few pieces of about 1-2" in length. Plant those on peat moss & lightly cover with LFS.

Leaf : take whole leaf with the stem. snip will do, no need to pull white part out. Lay on same medium as root cutting. I cover the end of the stem more as it seems to keep the leaf in fresher condition. Plantlets sprout from the dewy parts.....

All the best...btw, my experience is for T form but it s/be the same.

I haven't try cross breed. I prefer pure breed.

The location for D. intermedia is Great Swamp. I told you before, right?

what the container was before....



what it later became....heheh...i needed a pot of that size & height...drilling 3 holes about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom allowed it to be self water-containing. the container was of course washed like about 50 times, left overnite a couple of times with clean water to ensure no residue from the original contents spills over.

my questions :

1. should i snip off the flowers ?

2. does it self -seed or even seed at all ?

I know the answer! I know the answer!

That's because the plant almost died in David's growing conditons. So the whole pot together with the tag were consficated be Tarence and David has been charged for cruelty to Sundews.

Tarence was being kind to just mentioned "another grower".

I let my D. paradoxa to flower and no sign of dying. But they won't self polinated. Two plants of the same clone also cannot. As all my plants are come from one singe plant. So, to get them to produce seeds, you need to get the different clone. My plant is from Taiwan. « Last Edit: Feb 25, 2008, 2:04pm by piscesilim »Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedLim tarence

Quote:d.binata multifida extrema flowers are quite tall yah ? i think jon has let his flower as well & i`ve stopped chopping mine off since apparently it doesn`t affect the mother plant. the flower stalks are about 1 foot in height. quite impressive.


Tarence,

Mine do get exhausted when it flowers. Looks like all the energy are channeled to making them beautiful flowers, draining the plant!

And after letting two flower stalks to flower (gosh they last for the longest time!) I started to chop off new flowerstalk. But it continues to produce flowerstalks nonstop, to date I've chopped of 5 budding flowerstalks!

I'm trying to revive the plant to its former dewy glory, or elseI might have to start all over.

a fellow CP-er came to my house on saturday & said this one looked very unusual, like a cross between a VFT & a sundew. hawhaw. i think he is rite. but the d.falconeri snapped a trap on the way to me & i planted it, hopefully it`ll grow.

the rest are looking mighty good laa.....we`ll post pics soon yah hongrui ?
