bunch o' pics (DUW)

[Devon]

Pics of my healthier 'dews at the moment. I edited some of the pics to make the colour look like it does in real life, because my new camera doesn't always capture the right colour. Almost all of the plants are in 2 inch pudding cups, for size reference. Some of the plants also look pretty large, like the collinsiae, but they're actually pretty small.

typical D. collinsiae (almost 2 inches tall). It doesn't keep very many leaves dewy at the same time in my conditions, probably because of the humidity.




Little D. spatulata "Mobara, Chiba Prefecture, Japan" plants.


My all time favourite D. capillaris form. "Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida, US"

over cropped...


D. natalensis "Pink, Tsitsikama"


D. tokeiansis


D. burmannii "Sarawak" starting to grow fast now that I'm feeding it.


D. aliciae "Silvermine NR, Western Cape, RSA". I like this aliciae form.




New D. venusta


D. venusta "albino" recovering from lots of leaf cuttings... I can't actually grow this plant very well.


D. burmannii. I fed these little guys a tonne, but they still won't flower yet!


D. sp. "South Africa"


D. spatulata "Gold coast, queensland" from keehn's. In the middle of flowering.


D. snyderi. I don't like this one, mostly because i can't grow it well. I'll be trading/giving it away in the spring.


Small D. burmannii with very small and not so healthy D. brevifolia.


D. sp. "Lantua Island"


partly closed flower


D. madagascareinsis


D. rotundifolia seedlings. Super high germination rate because the seed was fresh and stratified for 5 months.


D. capensis "albino" x aliciae


D. oblanceolata from keehn's. it doesn't looks like the ones I've seen in pictures.


D. schizandra growing slowly but steadily.








D. prolifera recently repotted


Thanks for looking!

Wow nice photography and editing!! Very nice sundews. I like the D. burmanni myself. How old are those seedlings?

[Devon]

Thanks!

I honestly have no idea how old they are. Maybe a couple of months maximum?

[bobtheglob]

Wow! When I first started this hobby, I bought some seeds and they took 2 months to sprout.
Probably because I didnt know about stratification at the time. Just planted them out of the packet.

[Devon]

I don't use strat on my burmannii seeds. I didn't know it helps!

I changed my previous post to "two months maximum". I thought about it a little more and I think I got mixed up with other seedlings I have going.

[bobtheglob]

Might growing some from seed myself. Is spring the best time to plant sundew seeds?

Depends on what seeds you are sowing. I assume you're sowing D. burmannii, and I don't think it matters what time of year you sow these at. I could be wrong, though.

[bobtheglob]

Haha I hate having to scroll down all these pages every time a click on this post.

I liked Burmanni when I was active some time ago but have forgot about the hobby for about 5 years now. I will probably get D. Capensis since I need a refresher course in CPs

[Devon]

Sow D. capensis whenever you want, they're weeds.

[bobtheglob]

Yes but hey, at least they dont die

Haha, I actually love capensis. One of my favourites.

Got a little worried there

Can I sow some seeds right now in winter?

Yep. I planted mine around this time last winter. They did wonderfully under the lights. Feed them lots, and they can become of flowering size within 5 or 6 months!

When did you get back into CP's?

[bobtheglob]

Cool. What kind of lights did you use?

I got back into CPs about a months ago.
