What about lows? Will it be ok as far as it doesn't freeze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmie Hansen Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 D.villosa is native in sweden so it should tolarate frost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-Rah Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 D.villosa is native in sweden so it should tolarate frost. No it isn't - it comes from half a world away in South America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Spence Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 What about lows? Will it be ok as far as it doesn't freeze? I'd be aiming to keep the lows to around 5 deg C. In my experience, any lower and they begin to struggle a bit. D.villosa is native in sweden so it should tolarate frost. I think you are confusing it with Pinguicula villosa.

I guess that means ascendens. The option of putting it in the bog is ahead now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundewmatt Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 so now you know why your DROSERA villosa died last winter in the ice and snow ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
