I love the look of d. falconeri. What I've read seems to hint at only recent cultivation. Does anyone know of a place where one could procure a plant?

I've bought from Chuck and he has great plants and great prices. I think his D. falconeri and Cephalotus are expensive but everything else is great.

I love the look of d. falconeri. You might want to consider your setup before procuring one of the petiolaris complex plants. They originate in the Northern reaches of Oz and therefore have some unique culture requirements to keep them happy (if anyone tells you they grow happily on their windowsill year round - ask them how many years they've been growing them... [D. paradoxa being more tolerant]) This is an amazingly diverse and interesting group of plants. If you put some effort into giving them what they need/want, you will be amply rewarded. If you buy one and expect it to adapt to your conditions, you will likely not be happy w/ your results..... |

Ron's right. Consider installing lights directly into your kitchen oven  |

If they come from the Northern Territory in Oz, then yeah, chances are they like it really hot and humid. Perhaps they'd do well here in San Jose, but it sounds like a terrarium is probably required. I better wait until more is know regarding the care and habits of this wonderful plant. |

This species seems to propagate readily from Tissue Culture and a few online sellers list them in their catalogs. AgriStarts 3 in Florida appears to be the supplier for most of them. They are a wholesale seller so if you have a resale license, open an account and are willing to buy a minimum of 72 plants per order you can buy directly from them.
I'm sure someone at the BACPS meetings has them for sale.

I was going to suggest Agristarts as well since I know who originally supplied them with falconeri. They should also have kenneallyi IIRC. Might want to check Black Jungle as well.
But like Ron said, do your research first. These guys take a bit of work. I have been growing petiolaris group for years but it took me years to get the hang of them. They are definitly worth the effort once you get them going but some people just can not make it over that first hump of getting it going.

I agree with thrwyman, the dormancy of the petiolaris group can be most frustrating. It does take some experience to know how and when to bring them out of dormancy. Best to start with one of the other easier petiolaris group before attempting D. falconeri (also expect to pay upwards of $30-60 for a mature plant)

I am not sure how this is done, I can offer D. falconeri and D. kenneallyi; I ordered these from AgriStart3 and have been very happy with them, I may just have dumb luck but i have not had a problem with these coming out of dormancy or growing them, I am not sure if I am able to solicit plants on this forum, if not, please excuse my ignorance, let me know if you are still interested, the plants are very cool looking are a vibrant red color!!
Regards
Ed

My drosera falconeri are growing gangbusters, could someone please comment on an idea of mine; could these drosera be doing so well because of TC vigor; the fact that TC plants grow gangbuster initially and then slow down as they aquire more bacteria and fungus; I am always impressed with the knowledge of the growers on this forum, please also comment on culture of these wonderful plants, lastly I do not want to imply that I am a commercial grower; ICPS is nonprofit and I in no way want to go against the mission of the ICPS; can members trade plants?
Regards
Ed

Well, we don't allow posts explicitly for trading or selling but we don't read your PM's. This is an international organization and we don't want any illegal activity, not that you'd do anything illegal but some people would. Our stance now is that there are other forums with trading posts so maybe it's to go there for your trading needs.
Are you an endocrinologist? Just wondering.

Most TC plants will display a certain level and type of vigor after expalnting. What I tend to see most with falconeri is that it divides readily for a while. I never really notice any change in over all growth pattern though, they seem to grow at the same rate for me months down the road as they do the day after explanting
