The seeds at the windowsill germinate after just a
couple of weeks, and I guess more than 70% of the
seed germinate. They grow very slow until spring,
then they speed up and now the larger plants has 5-7 traps and
the largest trap is around one inch. It seems that they like bright light,
some plants in a darker corner of the pot is much smaller.
Nothing happens in the pot placed outside until May, but then also this
seed germinate (last winter was cold with the temperature around -10 C a
couple of weeks) but the rate was under 50%, and they grow much slower
the whole summer. Now all of the traps are less than half an inch.
By the way, I still have some of the Dalingtonia seeds left,
and I do already have 27 small plants... Maybe
someone is interested to try one year old seeds? I will
send them free to the first person in Europe who email me (not the
list...).
And when I have started... I have other (very limited) supply of seeds
which I have no use for:
Drosera alice
binata
capensis
capensis alba
Sarracenia purpurea venosa
Utricularia livida (small plants, not seed)
I will send even this seeds/plants for free to the first persons in Europe
who email me, tell what he/she want and include snailmail address.
I hope this isn't too unfair to the rest of the world,
the list server(?) lead to that we receive the emails later than
some others. And this is not a "once in a lifetime" offer :-)
Happy growing,
