Plantfreak Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Drosera pygmaea go dormant in the wild, but peter d’amato says in “The Savage Garden” that some pygmies don’t go into summer dormancy if you keep them damp. Should I or should I not do summer dormancy? (I don’t have a drosera pygmaea yet, I’m just considering getting one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperD Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I have no experience with drosera pygmaea in particular but since it is one of the easier species and it has a wide natural range I think it should be fine when kept wet in the summer. My D. scorpiodes (also an easy pygmy) are kept wet year round and they are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantfreak Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Thanks for the info. Where do you keep the scorpioides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperD Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I have one pot growing on my windowsill and another one outside in the greenhouse. I'm going to leave them in the greenhouse in the winter since I don't have any space left on the windowsill. As long as it doesn't get too cold I'm positive they will survive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on purchasing a scorpioides but I'm in a flat so can only grow indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyr Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 My scorps produce gemmae in Nov. / Dec., I keep them in a room that I let get kind of cool. mid-upper 50's F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
