Default Re: My new TC plants

I feel the same way too. I thik they're the only CPs I know that do not thrive with sunlight. Remember some time back I had 2 prolifera and they died. I dump the pot at my wash area window which is never closed. After a couple fo months the sphagnum moss started to cover the entire pot.

Then one day I just decided to dig into the sphagnum moss hoping to see a my prolifera coming back to life... Well it did not but I found 3 baby plantlets. Not sure if these are from the roots of the mother plant. The thing was they were growing in the sphagnum moss and totally covered by the moss. They were thriving. funny CPs

I think house plants need more light than them.

David, that is what exactly happened to my schizandra! I had a few small plants (~1cm) which I placed onto some sphagnum moss. Soon after, I could see that they turned back and left them there. Recently, when I wanted to harvest some of sphagnum for growing other plants, I found a couple more schizandra plantlets covered under an inch of moss. Seems that the cooler weather lately resuscitated them. Oddballs of the Sundew Clan.
