Hey khoas,
Nice Drosera. I wish I could successfully grow tuberous Drosera here in tropical Florida! Unfortunately, it doesn't stay cold long enough for them to get any good size on them...only D. peltalta and D. whittakerri barely hang on for me...
Thanks for sharing your pics,
Brian.

Thank for the comments.
Brian-peltata does grow in tropical conditions. You might have get seeds from taiwan or another tropical location. Futhermore it does not need dry dormancy. I had it growing in a highland Nep pot for several years until potted the nep.
I believe that the night temperature and lenght are more important than the day temps. Consider using a fridge to slimuate a winter night.

Hi Khoas, your "Whittakeri" has flowered like hell! Strange that the D. bulbosa first grew large leaves and then was topped by masses of very small resp. short leaves. *cough, cough* Are you able to send tubers from down under? *whistle, whistle* I want to expand my tuberous sundew collection..... ;D Tuberous season is just starting down under, isnĀ“t it? Kind regards, Andreas

G'day Andreas, You are only out by 6 months . I will some tubers available in late December and early January. All are from cultivated stock. Also have some seeds of species that don't produced daughter tubers. It is not illegal for me export tubers but is up to the importer to obey their local laws. Cheers, Khoas
