dudo klasovity Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi! After a while, I had some spare time so I took pictures of some of my newly introduced drosera species in TC. Here are some jars, I hope you like them: drosera hartmeyerorum (note the extensive root system) drosera marchantii ssp. marchantii drosera intermedia drosera rotundifolia 'Hawks Tor, Bodmin Moor, UK' (freshly replated seedlings) drosera hilaris 'Stellenbosch, RSA' drosera slackii x capensis drosera brevifolia 'Bolsa Nova, Parana, Brasil' drosera sessifolia 'Punau, Rio Negro, Brasil' drosera trinervia 'Stromsveikloof, RSA' drosera ascendens 'Palmeira, Parana, Brasil' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pato Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hi Dudo!, Great work!! One questions! What medium and quantities are using for sundew?

dudo klasovity Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks for the comments @Cosmo: D. hartmeyerorum is one of species that dont take long trips in mail very well. I fear Mexico is too distant. And yes, I do work in a lab as a researcher. Not in the plant business though. @Pato: for most drosera 20-30%MS with full macro and full vitamins works very well. If you use other gelling agent than agar, like gelrite for example, add 5% more (it picks up and cross-links the Me+, Me2+ cations with -OH ending groups , and thus lowers their concentration a bit).

Pato Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks Dudo! This would have to be going well for seeds? 1/3 MS w/vitamins PPM 1ml Sucrose 30g Agar 6g PH 5.5 And the formation of calluses using this same solution or should we change something?

dudo klasovity Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) @Pato: Sounds about right. Personally, I dont use PPM at all. But it is advisory to use it for beginners to thwart the contamination possibility. And also, I use pH ~5.7. At and lower than 5.5 is more suitable for dionaea than drosera. Good luck with your TCing!:-) Edited August 1, 2011 by dudo klasovity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pato Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Thanks for the help, will keep you informed of the process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
