I can't say that the species is breeze to grow but at least it doesn't get killed easily. I've had it for a while and only recently did it start to become "filifolia".  Long leaves stage.  Rosette stage.  Plants multiply as a clump of rosettes.  I read very different cultivation info for this species. Some say... 1. it needs highland conditions similar to what highland Neps require 2. it needs conditions suitable for petiolaris complex Sundews - hot and humid Anyone growing this species and have experiences to share? TIA! |

Nice plants. They look like Drosera.

Neat photos, Cindy! I like being able to see the transition between the seedling and adult-form leaves. This is one of those pings that makes me marvel that they are in a different family from the Drosera. I wish you luck with them!

Can you explain what you are using as a substrate and how you water them? Are those clay pelets, or some kind of lava rock? I just find your meathod quite interesting.
Thanks

It is Seramis clay granules. The water level is topped up when it is low.
Cheers!

you are sure it is a P.filifolia ? not a drosera filiformis ? P.filifolia is a cuban pinguicula see here some infos on their habitat and here cuban climat use google for the translation , these pages are in french it is a very very difficult specie to grow on several year. jeff |

Hi jeff and others,
The seedlings do not look like D. filiformis to me, I thought the leaves were inclined to face up, rather than curve down to form a sort of ball.
I've never heard of tiny D. filiformis seedlings clumping either.
I need some evidence.

Great job, Cindy! That top photo certainly shows how it got it's name.
Cheers,

They look more like Byblis than Drosera, which isn't surprising since Pinguicula and Byblis are more closely related as evidenced by the bilateral symmetry of their flowers vs the radial symmetry of Drosera flowers.

Hi epbb, Unfortunately, they died in the heat wave during the hot season.  |
