Rodrigo Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 My G. hispidula after exchanging the substrate: Photo 1 - Bottom of the antique vase. Notice the multiple pitfalls of this CP. Photo 2 - I may be wrong, but I believe that there are prey that were imprisoned in the traps of this CP. Photo 3 - The eight seedlings that removed the old pot. Note the amount of roots-traps, or best stolons (I infer that this is the correct name), this plant generates. Photo 4 - The Genlisea after replanted in the new substrate. Until next time and i hope you enjoy this topic . Best regards, Rodrigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi, Nice plants. What substratum do use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel O. Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi Rodrigo, i really like the second picture. @Anthony, the substrate seems to be a dead sphagnum/sand mix. Best regards, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi, It was what I thought but it seems to me there is very much dead sphagnum. I once have tried this substrate with Genlisea africana. It was an echec. Never the plant had grown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosolis76 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hi everyone, Nice topic Rodrigo! Genlisea are so amazing plants! Dead Sphagnum can work well including with G.africana. When I was in Angola, I saw some populations of this last species growing amount living and dead sphagnum whereas other populations were growing on sandy soils. I cultivation, I noticed that dead sphagnum can be really usefull when growing conditions deal with high temperatures and high humidity all year round (in a tropical terrarium for example). However a more "classical" growing media like a mix of peat and sand also works really well in the most cases. All the best, Damien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
