dudo klasovity Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi everyone! I took pictures of some drosera jars today: drosera anglica 'Hawaii' drosera glanduligera drosera falconeri (crowded jar) drosera hilaris (turned out to be very weedy species when correct medium is used) drosera afra drosera rotundifolia drosera spatulata var. lovellae (the big plants germinated a bit early, the rest gave 100% germination later) drosera intermedia 'Gran Sabana' drosera trinervia darlingtonia californica on propagation medium drosera burmannii 'Humpty-Doo' drosera burmannii drosera macrantha "Rock outcrop form" x drosera macrantha aff. ssp. cremaea ....some massive germinations: drosera ascendens 'Itarare' drosera tomentosa var. glabrata ...and some latest germinations: drosera regia drosera felix 'Turuku' drosera macrophylla ssp. macrophylla x drosera macrophylla ssp. monantha drosera graminifolia drosera spatulata var. bakoensis drosera planchonii ...the next season will be fun! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan P Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Wow! That is simply incredible! The D. falconeri pot is really impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlatokrt Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 And i was happy to make 3 plants of D. hilaris from one... Congrats Dusan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cain Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 hello, You have great results and nice pictures, thank you for share. I saw that in the photo "darlingtonia californica on propagation medium" you have a lot of droseras also? -Cain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sativ Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Tuberous droseras are worst thing to grow in TC i have ever met.... They always look like ugly ducklings ;) Good job with falconeri! Greetings Witek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pato Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Very good work you are doing!! What can be the difference in transparency and opacity of the medium? Because it is opaque to me and I see you clear it looks good. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudo klasovity Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanx! @Cain: Yes , it is drosera intermedia together with darlingtonia @Sativ: I know! I was just thinking the same thing going through the jars with tuberous species how Martian they look in TC :-D There are some exceptions,,of course:-) @Pato: The gel is clear because I use Gelrite and not Agar. It is easier for me to spot the contamination early enough (when I dont use PPM). In some pics it is hazy but that is because of opaqu PP containers.

loligo1964 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Very nice indeed! I never thought of mixing seeds in culture . . . I too prefer Gelrite for the very same reasons; and I have also had fewer issues with vitrification with that product over various agars . . .

dudo klasovity Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 @Loligo: With Gelrite I only had one case of vitrification with drosera sessifolia. I did find one drawback of this gelling agent though...when the plants consume some of the elements (metals, specifically), it liquidifies quite fast). I think it is due to the loss of cations crosslinking the gelrite compound and the inevitable release of protons. In acidic environment ( below 5.2) the Gelrite is not gelling very well (even if the sufficient ions are present). But for me the transparency of the gel is the overcoming advantage so I keep on using it. I just got hands on some high quality Agarose so I will do some experiments to compare the properties.

Dieter Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi Dusan, the D. macrantha hybrid sounds interesting to me. So far, I have not been able to come up with viable tuberous drosera hybrids other than those of D. menziesii subspecies. Often, I get the hybrids to germinate, but they usually die shortly after that. Best regards Dieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droseraman Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) love them! Especially the D. spatulata, which is quite amusing. Edited October 8, 2011 by droseraman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddock27 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 hi from allan caddock england what mudium do you use on your drosera l grow drosera with tissue culture my medium 250ml d water 7.5 sugar 1.7g agar 0.5. bap 6 1ml ppm 1ml vites thank you allan caddock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudo klasovity Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 what about micro and macro elements? The plants cant grow well just on sugar and vitamins, and I think the BAP is not necessary for sundews. Good luck! DK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
