christerb Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hi, I have been out of the loop when it comes to this genus, but I have what is supposed to be D. kaieteurensis. I have looked around at pics, and the ID seems to match. However, just to be sure I wanted to check here that I am correct. Also, does anyone know if it is self-fertile?

Roman Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hello Yes ID seems to be correct, D.kaieteurensis is realy a nice plant and get a lot of seeds. Regards Roman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerb Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Thanks for confirming the ID, Roman. Good also to know about the seed, that sounds hopeful. All the best! Regards, Christer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I never did get seed from my flowering plants and eventually lost them. However, Christer, your plants looks much happier than my did, so I think you'll be alright for seed production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hello Dave, My D. Kaieteurensis are self polinating and really easy to grow, also from seeds. Tomorrow i can show you a picture, I have also some seeds left, if you are interested ;) Regards Roman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Oh, thank-you, that is very cool of you to offer seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yes, you have D.kaieteurensis. I love the contrast between the white hairs on the scapes and the wine red color plants acquire in the wild. See below a scan of a bad pic I took years ago on the Gran Sabana of D.kaieteurensis (left) and D.felix (right): 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel O. Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi Christer, yes, as already mentioned you will have some seed. The seed capsules are really unique. Best regards, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerb Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Thanks Fernando, and Daniel! That was one of the pics I compared with, and thinking that they matched pretty well. Yes, the red colors are great, might have to increase the light on mine. I haven't seen the seed capsule on this species myself, so it will be interesting to see what they look like. Anyway, great to get more confirmation on the ID of these plants (supposedly originating from Chimanta Tepui). so if I will be able to distribute some seed they will be labeled correctly.

sundewmatt Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 hi christer! your kaieteurensis would benefit from brighter light, they turn a really nice pink color. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasin Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi, I bought this plant and it's on the way. But there is not much information. I will use 1:1 sand and peat mix. Is intermediate conditions ideal for this plant? Or should I put in highland conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujinamo Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I would grow it in highland conditions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PofW_Feathers Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Konnichiwa! When I grew it about 40 years ago, as Drosera arenicola (mis-labeled). It survived through the summer (terrible hot temperatures) of Japan. Kind regards from the Far East Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
