DeadlyCarnivore Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yes, all pygmies produce gemmae. They all produce seed too, but its very hard to get viable seed.Sent from my SM-G935V 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadlyCarnivore Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 When do you know your plant is ready to produce Gemmae, does it put strain on the mother plant.It should produce gemmae during the winter. The only thing it should do to the mother plant is push the petioles of the carnivorous leaves back. And then start producing tons of modified leaves in the center of the plant. They push the petioles back to create the spring effect that spreads the gemmae around if it were to be hit with something like a raindrop. Im not exactly sure when they should start making gemmae, but its anytime during winter. You will know its gemmae because they wont grow the way normal carnivorous leaves do, they will just stay in the center of the plant. Do you think your pygmies are producing gemmae right now?Sent from my SM-G935V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyCarnivore Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Also, how long have you had your pygmies? Because if you havent had them for more than a couple of months, they probably wont produce gemmae this winter. I was told it takes about 4 months for them to fully mature. Also, what kind of pygmy is it? Pulchella? Omissa? Palacea?Sent from my SM-G935V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
