Tuberous sundews


Recommended Posts

Hi,

A long time ago since I've posted my last pictures.

The tubers season is a good reason to do it again!! :(

Beautiful plants!

They look very happy and well cared for.

Did you grow any of them from seed?

Hi Iggy!

Stunning picture quality and the plants are great as well. Most of my tuberous sundews have not sprouted yet, only d. erythrorhiza ssp. squamosa just shot through the surface. It grows very slow. Is it a slow-grower for you too? I give it 10-18C.

Hi Iggy!

It's not bigger nor deeper than that??

Friends told me that it as MANDATORY to use bigger pots. Do you take the tubers out of the pots during the dry period?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

François.

I use the same pots or deeper. You only need to check if in the summer dormancy the tuberous doesn't go too much in depth to avoid rot in the next winter.

What's sure is that if you have more space you can you use bigger pots.

Iggy...beautiful plants!

Yes! My D. gigantea has started to grow again, it's the 3rd now that I have the plant (and it's a 2006 plant), am sure it will grow larger than last year. Always exciting to watch. :read:
