dudo klasovity Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Dear CP growers! Past 2 weeks I have been deflasking and started to acclimatize many sundew species from in vitro. Most of them grew well in various tested nutrient media, some test have been performed with hormones and with colloidal silver. Of course, some were lost in research and there are still many hurdles to master some species;) Here I would like to share several pictures with you. drosera aff.petiolaris "pin cushion form" x drosera ordensis in vitro For some species finally I got the right composition for inducing the tuberisation, here the tubers of drosera rupicola "various flower colours" Deflasking and acclimatisation of d.falconeri, d. hartmeyerorum, d. rupicola, d. zigzagia and d.kaieterurensis Laboratory acclimatisation of d.mannii and various lasiocephala sundews Laboratory acclimatisation of d.pulchella "Salmon flower", d. closterostigma and d.capensis "Baines Kloof" and "All Red" Greenhouse acclimatisation of d.affinis, d.ascendens, d. burmannii, d. sessifolia, d.sp."Pretty Rosette", etc Greenhouse acclimatisation of d.admirabilis, d.camporupestris, d.ascendens, d.esterhuyseniae x slackii etc Fully acclimatised d. hilaris If the weather continues to be so nice, they will be hardened in 2 weeks time, hopefully. Hope you liked the pics:) Edited April 25, 2013 by dudo klasovity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudo klasovity Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) ..and here I add some pictures of today, mostly new cultures: drosera falconeri, still without root system, but flowering already drosera montana var. montana "Botumirin' drosera sp. 'Auyan Tepui' on semi-liquid gel (some dews grow much faster this way) drosera madagascariensis. Don't know how or why, but I never get this species right nutrition-wise. Always get a pale plants like this. Growing well though. Even with excess of Mg and Fe they look like this. Perhaps sensitive to some element/compound? Not sure. My favourite and in my opinion very elegant plant, the drosera ascendens from Caminho do Mar germination of seeds of drosera cistiflora 'Nieuwoudtville' drosera regia a newcomer, very nice hybrid drosera ascendens x drosera schwackei sarracenia leucophylla from Perdido Edited May 1, 2013 by dudo klasovity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dergeier7 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hi Dudo,thanks for sharing these impressive Pics! by the way,would you mind to let me informed of which Gel you used in your Experiment?it's really transparent unlike Agar I used.

dudo klasovity Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi there! I have been using mostly Gelrite lately for its transparency and easy detection of potential contamination (my working setup isnt ideal;-). It is a bit more expensive but you only need about a 1/3 of agar amount and also it is easier to set the pH, which is very important (less impurities). Good luck! :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel O. Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi Dusan, really good results, congratulations. Best regards, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dergeier7 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hmm,thanks dudo,I get it! And I will have a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi Dusan, nice job! Just one correction: the D. rupicola does not have different flower colours (always white), but it is the plants who can/will have different colours (from golden green to dark maroon). Best regards Dieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudo klasovity Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hey Dieter, thanx! And I was wondering why the leaves were gold, reddish, metallic orange or green on various plants! Now your post explains it;) Thank you for important correction:) Best regards, Dusan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maik Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hi Dusan, very good work and nice looking plants! Did you have success with the B. gigantea seeds? Regards, Maik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hey Dudo Just a head's-up: the species previously reffered to as "D.ascendens" by all of us is now called D.latifolia, check the link below: http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=51688 Best wishes, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hello Dudo, I'm not sure there is anything "wrong" with the D. madagascariensis color... Some sundews reflect light oddly in my experience. As do many pinguicula species. I believe their flesh is translucent so that light is conducted throughout it as with fiber optics. Probably helps confuse insect prey items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
