I've been thinking of the idea of getting some Drosera Petiolaris,D. Ordensis, and D. Falconeri, but I can't find much info on these. The only book I have is the Savage Garden, which is kinda vague on woollies. It says 2:1 sand:peat, 60-90 degrees F, and wet to waterlogged soil. Do woolly dews prefer/thrive temps lower like tuberous sundews or more lowland Nepenthes-type temps? I was going to put them under grow lights which are 70-80 degrees daytime,60-70 nighttime, and 60-70% humidity right now, and maybe outside in summer. Summer temps are 80s-90s with HIGH humidity. Are they like Lowland Neps that need high humidity constantly? We use wood heat for winter which drastically lowers humidity and raises it into the 80s all the time, so would they need a terrarium then? And are they hard overall to grow, or more lenient temp/humidity wise? I know some seeds are in the seed bank, but do they need anything special like scarification or hot/cold dormancy to sprout? I know close to nothing about woollies, so any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I have mine in a mini-greenhouse, well-lit, semi-enclosed. The lights give off some heat and help provide high humidity. They get ~16 hours of light per day and I turn the light off at night. Seems to work. I'll post a picture another time.

I couldn't get anything clearer, but near the algae is a sprout from the leaf.

Alright! How are your conditons temperature wise? They're looking good!

Temps are in the 80's F (~30 C). Perhaps it should be warmer, but they do seem to get on fairly well.
