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. « Last Edit: Jun 12, 2007, 10:29am by isaacgoh »Link to Post - Back to Top Logged tarence

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 ? « Last Edit: Jun 14, 2007, 1:11pm by tarence »Link to Post - Back to Top Logged wilson

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.

It's unique Isaac. If it is an actual burmanii, I sure have not seen it before. If you don like it and it is ugly for you, give me laa.. Hee, heee...

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?)
