Drosera glanduigera is winter annual related to tuberous sundews. In the wild they grow in full sun on varieties of soils from nearly pure mica to heavy clayey soils.
I have grown them successfully before. Use a large pot with a 6 parts sand to 4 parts peat and grow them in full sun.
Here in South Australia I grew them outdoors.
I believe the Japanese Carnivorous Plants Society maybe the oldest. It was formed in 1948. Australian Carnivorous Plants Society was formally estabished in 1983.
I had problems with 'freak' with self pollination. It will cross with other clone lines. As a plant it is slow grower and seem to set back the quickest when conditions change.
I had a macrantha ssp macrantha do this once. I thought I had lost the plants and dug up the potting mix to reuse and found a fat heathly tuber. Replanted and the plant is still with me. This happen a few years ago.
It could be a nitidula hybrid, maybe with pulchella from the shape of the leaf. I not sure, the colour of the plant and flower are bit different from my plants.
Mendel boxes are good for working with single a gene. When working with whole chromosomes things get messy. There events such a recombination where genes are swapped around between the chromosomes. Also natural section will elimate seedling with unfit genes for the conditions they are growing.
So will happen you will get around 50% that are straight out hybrids between the two parent with other 50% looking more like one or the other parent but will still carry some genes from the other parent even if they are not express in the plant.
Even if you back cross with a pure species for several generations the resutling plant would still carry a few genes from the other species. This would happen in the wild on occasion thus increase genetic variablity.
I would not bother with loam soil. I would be worried about the Calcium and the change to the pH. The light conditions looks good and should allow vigourous growth.
The temperature range seem good but I would increase the daytime temperature by 4 or 5 C, this will help the growth of the seedlings. I had auriculata and peltata seedlings produce a couple of flowers in their first season through warm days, cool nights regime.
A mix of quartz sand and peat seem to be best for WA and SA species. Australian soil are very, very poor as there been no major geogical activity for around 60 million years and that was on the east coast with formation of the Great Dividing Ranges.
Most Australian soils are very low in Phorphous and many location in SA and WA are low in many of the trace elements needed for plant growth such as Copper and Molybdenium.
It could be dielsiana,also it be form of spatulata, capillaris, natalensis, Sp. pretty rosette, or brevifolia. I find it easier to ID the plants when they flower.
I would say chopped them, most would die off due to transplant shock. The plant could the energy to establish. Unless it is cape sundew, they are almost unkillable.
Mexican Ping will grow in just about anything. I know someone who using African Violet mix for Mexican Pings. I am looking info about European species including alpine species.
G'day,
Got some temperate Ping species to sow. Some come from limestone country. I am looking for any suggestion for good potting mix for the lime lover and any tips on cultivation. Thank you.
Might be way to force whittakerii to produce daughter tuber. On a field trip couple of years ago, I noticed a Scent Sundew (D. whittakerii) had been dug up by a wallaby and the tuber was throwing out couple of dropper shoots. Each dropper shoot will form a new tuber.
True, a lot the pygmy sundews do prefer sandier mixes. Drosera paleacea ssp. paleacea prefer mix of 60 - 70 % sand to peat. But the hybrids really don't care.
