Great plants. So much for having to use huge pots to grow them well.

Beautiful Jeremiah! What are your growing conditions (temps, light, substrate, humidity, etc.)? D. regia is a sticky little beast as well. |

Beautiful photos Jeremiah. It seems like you have great success with this very interesting plant. After reading about an excursion to view and study drosophyllum in their native habitat, at bestcarnivorousplants (dot com), with their detailed descriptions of the soil and environmental conditions, I feel encouraged and somewhat hopeful that I might be able to germinate a few seeds and grow a few of this plant myself. Anyway, thanks for posting these great photos, and also the stunning macro photos in the Drosera category of the forum. |

What soil mix are they in,how do you water and what temps do they like?
I live in Hawaii so 70F-80F at 80% to 100% humidity. I could supply them with tons of sun and out of rain.

Great photos, could you share cultural info, for example I see a sarracenia sitting next to the drosophyllum, I assume this means that they all sit in water?? I was also under the false impression that these guys could not grow so close to each other?? Not true; there seems to be many misconceptions regarding these plants; very nice plants!!!

I left my seed pack of drosophyllum in my shirt pocket and they went into the washing machine, I will still plant them, maybe this is a new way to get these guys to grow?

Lol, detergent stratification?
I dug 2 seeds out of the fridge that I did not know were there and recently sowed them, they were harvested in December of 2005 but when I cut the tips of the one seed (I used GA3 for the other) it was still white on the inside so it seems that there is still hope.
Jeremiah, I'm also interested in how you grow your drosophyllum so well! That's the most of those plants I've ever seen in one picture!
BTW.. does anyone know if you can re-use GA3 solutions?

BTW.. does anyone know if you can re-use GA3 solutions? Ga3 loses its effectiveness very quickly if it is not kept refrigerated. Since it is usually not refrigerated during use, its probably not going to be very effective for a second application. |

So do you slack pot them? Do you drip water them? I am moving to oregon where it gets cool I am getting a greenhouse that I want to heat up to 50F would that work?

A friend of mine does not use the slack method and he had one alive for over 2 years. Then it suddenly died. That could have been why, but I do not know.
