jp Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 hi, Last june, i tried to collect some D.wittakery tubers in a dry pot when i saw that the plants begun to grow again, even if it was not the good season for that. So i tried an experiment, i broke the stolons (they was 3 to 4 cm long) and i plant them in a classic medium (peat+sand) I keep the pot in my garag with a cool temperature and a few weeks after, i began to see some small plants Today as you can see they have the same size than an adult plants. i don't know if they will make a tuber at the end of the season, but it's an interesting experiment I try the same thing with d.Ramellosa, D.zonaria and D.platypoda with less success. by. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi jp, very interesting! I accidentally had this happen with a D. macrophylla which had the stolon broken off on its journey to me. In that case both the stolon and (later) the tuber developed into a new plant and also a tuber at the end of the season. However, I never followed up on that the way you just did. What happened to the tubers in your case? Best regards Dieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hi Dieter, In my case the tubers grows perfectly without problems. by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lutz Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Hi, very interesting and a very good success. You wrote "I try the same thing with D. ramellosa, D. zonaria and D. platypoda with less success." What happened? Do you feed the D. whittakeri or did they catch the prey by themself? ... and of course a very nice picture, like always.
