Hello Icenine,

Drosera graminifolia is a tropical sundew from Brazil that is in the intermediate range. It prefers cooler roots and plenty of light, but is easier to grow than Drosera regia.

Hey,

Thanks for the tip, i'll look into that one. I was also thinking about D. Prolifera, any experience with that one?

Not yet. From what I understand is that it is a little more difficult than Drosera adelae.

D. prolifera did nicely in my closet, roomm temp, under artificial lighting. And then killed it when I had it outside!

Nice D. prolifera Petiolaris. I think they are similar to D. adelae on light needs aren't they? No direct sun, only shaded or indirect light.

All of my plants seem to like my new apartment setup. One of my Drosera graminifolia is actually puting up a flower stalk... hard to tell with these as their leaves are long curled tendrils anyways, but most sundew flower stalks do not have tentacles. So it looks like D. graminifolia might flower for me finally. Does anyone know if they self-pollinate readily like most other sundews or if they are like D. adelae in their needs for cross-pollination?

Anyways, Icenine, here is D. graminifolia... these three have been in my care for about a year now and started off at about 5 inches tall, now they are about 9-10 inches tall. Finally adult.

Here is the one putting up a tiny curl of a flower scape.

Nice looking gram...! I really don't know about pollinating. Is it under artificial lighting?

Now I have them under 12200 lumens of floros and they sit closest to a south facing window with partial light from a dark screen with holes cut in it.. the heat was building up near the window too much with full sun blasting in. I would say they are getting close to 20000 lumens or so now.

Hey....what about D. Falconeri?

Do you have any Nepenthes so far? They are easier than some might think, and they look amazing. I would avoid the harder species (which most vendors mark as such), and try your hand at a couple of the more inexpensive easier kinds. Here is a pic of one of my highlander tanks:
