Daniel O. Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Hi all, in the moment my D. schizandra is flowering, so i decided to take some pictures. For me it´s the first time this species is flowering , nevertheless i´m cultivating it since about seven years. I´m cultivating it under a lot of artificial light, it´s not growing in a aqurium and the temperatures are not very high (in the moment about 22 degree). The humidity is also not very high. It has not a lot of leafes under these conditions, but i like the red leafes more than green leafes. The plant is about 13cm in diameter, the flowers are about 1,3cm. Here we go. and a "group" picture I really like these hairy flower stalks and this very nice red colour.

Vincent Limbourg Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Fantastic, it's the first time that I see flowers of D. schizandra. I bought one in April, it's a beauty, but smaller than yours. Greetings, Vincent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I dont think I've seens the D. schizandra flower either before so thanks for posting, I have been put off from buying it after reading some people are finding it difficult to grow........it seems that you are doing wery well with it though!! Not the prettiest of drosera flowers but still its a treat to see it! Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel O. Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Many thanks to all. Yes, i don´t have seen a lot of pictures from flowering D. schizandra too, perhaps the plants have to be much older. Heather, a lot of growers are cultivating them in terrariums together with D. adelae and D. prolifera under much higher temperatures and humidity, but it seems to be not so important. I´m cultivating D. adelea and D. prolifera the same way. Max, i like it when the plants are a little bit more red in colouration. Vincent, good luck with your plant.

LJ Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Heather, a lot of growers are cultivating them in terrariums together with D. adelae and D. prolifera under much higher temperatures and humidity, but it seems to be not so important. I´m cultivating D. adelea and D. prolifera the same way. Many thanks for the information Daniel, its good to know! I already grow Prolifera under a grow light which seems very happy so perhaps schizandra would be happy there too, I wonder if I could squeeze another plant in Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel O. Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi Heather, if you have no problems with D. prolifera you should try D. schizandra too, of course if you´ll find enough space for it. But there has to be always enough space for a new plant. Best regards, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks Dani, I'm sure I will find some space somewhere.........I usually do!! Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
