D. broomensis '19km S of Derby, Kimberley, WA' D. ordensis 'Mirama' three different plants which differ in colouration... D. darwinensis 'Cox Peninsular, NT' D. aff. ordensis 'south of Kingston Rest, Kimberley' D. aff. brevicornis 'Mount Five' D. aff. brevicornis 'Theda, Kimberley, WA' D. aff. brevicornis 'Prince Regent River, Kimberley' 1.D. aff. fulva-like but minature plants '70 km NE of Pine Creek, N.T.'

  2. I am not 100 percent sure whether your plant goes into dormancy or not. The leaves of my plants are completly dry. I would keep the plant not too wet (but not dry) and watch how the plant react to this. Normally the beginning of dormancy of my plants is November/December as the temperatures fall a bit in this time. The first leaf flush I can notice in April/May . But there are also some exception which goes in dormancy without cause whenever they want to. Best regards, Matthias
  3. Hi Willy, due to the high evaporation rate in consequence of high temperatures and runnings fans I have to water my plants every other day. Best regards, Matthias
  4. Sorry, but all my plants have already finished dormancy and produce leaves. So I can't show you a plant which is completly in dormancy. Here is a photo of D. falconeri 'Wangi' which I took last weekend. I hope it helps... Best regards Matthias
  5. Thank you for your kind words! The leaves of D. falconeri die completly back when it goes into dormancy as the plants outlive the dry period in a bulb. I keep my plants only slightly damp in this time. After several month they start to produce new leaves. Best regards, Matthias
  6. Hi Greg, hi Willy, I ordered the terraria without upper glass plate. I fixed the fluorescent bulbs on a coated wooden board. The control gears are outside the tanks to avoid too high temperatures. Between the wooden board are distance pieces (3-4mm) to provide a good air circulation. I use LUCKY REPTIL TERRA FANS which runs day round for more than 2 years now without any problems. Here two photos... The pattern keep some space between the terrarium ground and the fibrous web. I water only so much to fill the space. So the fibrous web is permanently damp but the plants do not stay in water tray. Some species go in dormancy (D. ordensis, D. brevicornis, D. spec. Mandorah and D. derbyensis and D. falconeri). When D. falconeri or D. spec. Mandorah go into dormancy I place them on another pattern to provide not too wet conditions. Apart of that I don't change the conditions. I don't use a heater in the winter as the terraria are placed in the boiler room. The temperatures decrease a bit in winter (day: 30 degrees, night: 18-20 degrees). The photoperiod is about 14 hours. Best regards, Matthias
  7. Hello, here are some pictures of my Petiolaris setup. I have two tanks with a size of 100x60x50 and 130x60x60cm. As lights I use 4x54W for the large terrarium and 4x 39W for the smaller one. On the ground I placed patterns (which normally were used to cover fluorescent bulbs) covered with fibrous web so that the plants are not permently in water tray. For a good air circulation I placed two fans in each tank. As exterior facing I used an insulation which is covered with aluminium. Due to the lights the day temperatures are around 35-37 degrees and fall to 23 degrees in the night. The humidity ranges between 50 to70%. I cultivate my plants in a mix of peat, perlite and two sizes of quartz sand. I covered the suface also with quartz sand (1-3mm) to avoid slime. I fertilize my plants every 2-3 weeks with leaf fertilizer. First some photos of the smaller terrarium in which I cultivate my large plants... Here is a photo of the large terrarium in which I cultivate my seedlings... Best regards, Matthias
  8. Hello, today I took some pictures of my petiolaris drosera. I hope you like them...

  9. Here are some new photos of today... D. brevicornis 'Edith Falls' seedling sowed in the beginning of 2009 D. brevicornis 'NT' going into dormancy D. ordensis 'east of Kununurra, Kimberley' seedling sowed in May '09 D. ordensis 'east of Kununurra, Kimberley' another plant D. spec. Mandorah Best regards, Matthias
  10. Hi, thank you for the kind words. most of my plants go in different times in dormancy. At the moment some D. derbyensis and D. ordensis go dormant whereas other plants of the same species begin to grow. I really don't know if this plant is an natural hybrid or a true species but you are right D. kenneallyi or falconeri may be a part if it's a hybrid. I don't know the exact history of this species. Lowrie discover this Drosera in Mandorah and describe it as a plant in style of a small D. kenneallyi. My plants are ca. 4-5 cm in diameter. Best regards, Matthias

  14. Hello, I want to show some photos of my Petriolaris Drosera. I sowed them in November/December and they have a size of ca. 3-4cm in diameter. It is always a pleasure the look at them... D. aff. ordensis 'Theda Station' another plants D. aff. ordensis 'Theda Station' which shows an other colour variation D. ordensis 'Mirama' D. aff. lanata 'Flying fox' D. derbyensis 'Beverly Springs' Best regards, Matthias
  15. Dear Eric, very nice plants! It's quite amazing how variable these plants are. I only have plants with greenish leaves that looks like a hybrid of P. longifolia x grandiflora for me but for the others I'm not sure. Cheers, Matthias
  16. Hello, as promises I took some photos of the whole tank today... The most flowers are open now. Best regards, Matthias
  17. Thank you for the nice comments! At the moment only a part of the flowers are open. I will post some photos of the whole tank when all plants are in flower. Best regards, Matthias
  18. Hello, at the moment some of the most beautiful species of the genus Utricularia are flowering in my Heliamphora-Terrarium. Yesterday I spent some time to take a few photos. I hope you like them as much as I do... U. campbelliana 'Kukenam Tepui' U. campbelliana 'Roraima' U. quelchii 'Auyan Tepui' U. quelchii 'Wei Tepui' Best regards, Matthias
  19. Hello, I want to show you some photos which I took in the last time. D. roraimae 'Mt. Roraima' D. graomogolensis D. communis 'Parelheiros' D. communis 'Serra Donna Franscica' Thanks Carlos! D. aff. ordensis 'Theda Station' narrow leaf D. ordensis 'Hidden Valley' D. ordensis 'Beverly Springs, Kimberley' D. fulva 'Noonamah' D. petiolaris D. lanata 'NT form' D. kenneallyi Best regards, Matthias
  20. Hello, thank you for the nice comments! I grow my Petiolaris Droser in a terrarium (120x60x60cm) in my flat. The plants are illuminated with 4 x 39W T5 fluorecent bulbs (spectral color 840 and 865) with a distance of 30cm. The daytime temperatures are always above 30 degress - at the moment ca. 35 degrees. Of course it drops at night but not lower than 20 degrees. The humidity ranges between 50-80 percent. For soil I use a mix of peat, perlite and sand of different size. Especially for D. caduca I hold that this species benefits from moderate fertilizing (from time to time with leaf fertilizer and of course flies when I have some ready to hand). To provide a constance air circulation I installed a two fans which run day round. Best regards, Matthias
  21. Hello, I want to share some photos which I took in the last time... D. lanata 'NT form' D. caduca D. ordensis D. aff. dilatato-petiolaris 'Accacia-Flats, N. of Kings Cascades, Kimberley' U. menziesii Best regards, Matthias
  22. Hello, yesterday I had some spare time to take a couple of photos... D. roraimae 'Gran Sabana' H. nutans 'Yuruani Tepui' H. minor 'Auyan Tepui' H. exappendiculata 'Chimanta Tepui' Best regards, Matthias
  23. Thank you for all your nice comments. All the H. tatei in the background have already a small stem. The plants are about 5 years old now. For this setup I use six bulbs of 54 watts each. The colour is quite nice though the lights are quite far away from the plants. I also like those small orchids because it’s a nice decoration for the background of the setup and it needs not much space and care. ;-) Cheers, Matthias
  24. Hello, I have a new camera (Canon EOS 450) and I used the time to take some pictures. Now I want to show you the result... Heliamphora setup Nepenthes setup N. jamban N. villosa N. hurreliana pitcher mix D. kaieteurensis 'km 145, La Escalera, GS, Est. Bolivar, Ven.' Best regards, Matthias
  25. Hello, today I took some photos of my Heliamphora and Utricularia as they look quite nice at the moment.
