Hello

Has anyone knows how to keep that plant? I really want to get it but I really can't find any info about that plant. :flag_of_truce:

I should think Greg is your man, he seems to be a dab hand at growing them (see thread here)

Deep pots, well-lit, good draining soil.

Ok thanks. What about temperature/humidity? Would peat:perlite 1:1 is ok?

One more question- I will buy seeds to start my collection od Byblis. How I surposed to sow them in the pot?

Linuxman- cheers ;) I'd connacted him yesterday and still waiting for an answer.

Room temp seems fine and 'open tray' works. Do you have any sand? Sand and peat should be a better mix. Greg really is a better source than me. My plants are now growing horizontally!

Thanks Jimscott! :D

I have a exo terra red sand so I think that should do. I also have aquarium gravel (3-5mm) but I don't think it's a good substrate. One more thing, does the seeds need a special 'treatment' such as stratification etc.?
