  1. Drosera-like plant

    Posted · Edited by Tuuagso

    I hope someone be able to identificate it, it's really interesting, meanwhile I'll show you another pictures, not that good, but you can see a little more of the plant. The plant was found in a forest of Estado de México, Mexico, I don't know exactly where.

    I would like to know the origin of that stunning specimen, I want to know whether that plant was growing in the wild when it was found, or it was product of a TC mutation, or a hybrid of hamata x villosa or something like that, all I know is it is beautiful as expensive...

    Thanks for your comments. I see you are interested in the topic of dormancy, do you have problems with your plants when they are in dormancy?

    I don't do big deal, I just keep them in the same place they always grow, it gets a little cold in winter (12°C at day and 7°C at night) I just don't water them so much, but they are still recieving sunlight. They like new soil every year, as you can see I only grow them in pure peat moss, but they don't like to stay in the same soil, so every spring I change the soil.

  18. Drosera indica dying

    Hello, I sowed some D. indica seeds on February and they were growing very well, I even sold a plant that is doing very well on another city, so much hotter than mine.

    A month ago I had 5 plants and a week ago I only had 3 plants, and 2 were too tiny but it seemed they wanted to flower and the third one was growing well, a big plant and with no any signal of blossoms.

    Anyways, today I took a look at my plants and I found only one plant alive, the big one, the other two apeared to be dead, just the way old plants die on later fall.

    I guess this was a temperature problem, as incredibly temperature here in Mexico City has been very low as it has been so cloudy and rainy for 2 or 3 weeks through, with temperatures hardly above 20°C at day and 15°C at night. The plants grow on peat moss and perlite mixture, and I had never had this problem before with another sort of Droseras like D. burmanii or D. brevifolia.

    The plant I sold is growing like crazy and now is about 20 cm and my only survivor is around 10 cm, that's why I guess it is matter of temperature, the one I sold grows around 35°C at day and at least 25°C at night, but it might also be matter of elevation, as I live nearly 2500 meters above sea level and the other Drosera is growing at 1000 meters below me.

    Something very similar happened to my Drosophyllum, it was growing so nice and it suddenly died.

    Thanks for your oppinion and suggestions.
