Somebody on this list wrote a couple of days ago that his Drosophyllum
seedlings were flowering. Good for him. Mine are dying. :(
I have sown them in a mixture of sand and peat, about equal parts.
I keep the substrate dryer than normal CP, about as dry (wet) as my
regular house-plants. There is a transparent polythene pot on top, so
the humidity must be fairly high.
The plants are in the shadow but receive enough light.
The temperature was a few weeks ago 20-25C (+/- 70F) and is now 25-28C
(+/- 80F) The seeds germinate very well, all within 4-8 weeks.
They grow fast but when they have about 4 to 5 leaves they wither and
die in a few days.
There are no visible signs of fungus, parasites or other diseases.
I think my conditions are good, what can I be doing wrong?
Help. I have only a few seeds left. :( again.
Happy sowing and growing,
