Carnivourus Plants-fan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Great Plants. Thank you very much for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) That's what I call a beautiful cultivation Maurizio , with plants well maintained and everything organized . Congratulations, for his dedication to the hobby is something that is an inspiration to all members of CPUK . Note: I have a friend in Brazil who succeeded in germinating R. gorgonias, but never managed to germinate R. dentata . What technique did you use to force the "birth" of the seeds of the latter ?

Zlatokrt Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Wow, thats a collection! Congrats to the Roridula bush. I share your disappointment with D. coccipetala, since my plant did not open the flower at all. I think the strong sunshine is needed.

Guest Andreas Eils Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yeah, Maurizio, is there anything you cannot grow perfectly? WHAT? What is that? Look at that Roridula dentata bush! What a monster!!! C´mon, have you robbed it from Bonn Botanical Gardens? *just kidding, of course!* Indeed, I have to agree to Stephen! In a pinch I´d have pretended to be severly ill to see the flower of D. coccipetala... ^^ Your collection: Bye, Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m@ti Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Great plants maurizio. Can you describe the conditions in which you growing your D. hilaris ? I have a few of them but they don't want to grow well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel O. Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Indeed some very nice plants. What a pity you missed the D. coccipetala flower. Best regards, Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurizio Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks all guys! RODRIGO: I treat R. dentata seeds with smoke. R. gorgonias is very easy to germinate, if I treat seeds with smoke, in just 2-3 weeks almost all seeds will germinate; R. dentata is harder for me, it needs longer time and I usually have a lower rate of germination. GARDENOFEDEN, ZLATOKRT, DANEIL AND ANDREAS ELIS: :O)) It’s really a pity for D. coccipetala. One day, at 9 a.m. the flower was was near to open. .. at 2 p.m. when I was back from work it was already closed. The day after I have pulled away the petals to try to pollinate it. M@TI: I grow D. hilaris in deep pots, 1:1 peat: siliceous sand, almost dry in shaded position during resting period (approx from May-June to October), then water in the tray. During the vegetative period I keep it outside, in semi-shaded position with min. temp around 0°C. Maurizio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudo klasovity Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Very nice plants, Maurizio! Has the d. hilaris ever flowered for you? I have been growing some amount of specimen for 2 seasons now (adult plants) and they grow very well but never produced a flower stalk. I wonder what the trick is about making them flower. Thanx for sharing the pics! ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Allan Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi Maurizio, Exceptional plants as usual! Where abouts in Italy do you live? Your climate seems ideal for tuberous Drosera. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
