Here's how I do propagation. Alien's eggs.


Propagation Chamber - D. Paradoxa (Faster of all; 1 ~ 3 weeks)


Propagation Chamber - D. Broomensis


Propagation Chamber - D. Broomensis (Epic failure. Instead of sundew, Utric growing under the dome)


Propagation Chamber - D. Fulva (Chopped half alive with sharp knife then let grow. Rdiculously easy using this way)


Propagation Chamber - D. Fulva (Single leaf pulling has very low success rate)


For flower stalk (Drosera Binata var. Multifida)


For ailing plant/s, here's the ICU ward
Chigago Hope - Drosera Fulva (Infested by Fungus Gnat Larva)


This is what happened. Common symptom is in-complete formation of new leafs with burnt tips / black gressy tips (sometimes, leaf tips adhere onto each other steadily too). Leafs get shorter while old traps still exhibit good health. If left un-treated, plant may wither and die in a month.


Grey's Anatomy - Drosera Paradoxa (Infested by Fungus Gnat Larva)

err....wrong choice of words.....shrink, dried and rotten to be exact...

[caseyhoo]

kevyn, did you lets the burmanii flower freely? D. burmanii will be stress after flower. And the plant may die if it is not strong enough for that

the previous one it flower once, then died....newly acquired, not yet do anything, deteriorate and gone too....

its actually have to blame those stu*** monkeys....i used the 'tau fu fah' kind of container as the base to put the pot and the 'cincau' cup as the dome....guess what, the both the container gone, stolen by the monkeys......(because i saw them holding the dam* containers without realising it was the burmanii's tray and the dome!!!)
