Does anyone have any growing tips for this species. I successfully germinated seeds last spring. The seedlings grew well for a time but became ratty and weak and died off before flowering (I only saw one flower). I have managed to obtain some more seeds (the CPS Seedbank is superb) which have germinated very well indeed. The new seedlings are in a very large and brightly lit lowland terrarium (which I didn't have last time around). Min temperatures are around 19 deg C. It is very humid as the heating is provided by a submersible aquarium heater, but there is very good air circulation provided by a reptile fan and small openings in the tank doors. Does anyone have any advice on how to grow this species. I don't want to lose these plants before I can obtain seed.
Cheers,
Greg

Hi Greg, Here are some pics of the plant I have at the moment. It grows together with the rest of the Byblis species at the balcony. 5 May 2012 ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/2ndQ12/byblis_Pilbara.jpg) 12 May 2012 ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/2ndQ12/byblis_Pilbara_flowers.jpg) ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/2ndQ12/byblis_Pilbara_flower.jpg) Anther length cf filaments - longer ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/2ndQ12/byblis_Pilbara_anthers.jpg) Sticks are about 3/10" ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/2ndQ12/byblis_Pilbara_stem-1.jpg)
