To all
Talking about the abilities to survive of the Drosera.
Last fall I received a lot of Sphagnum, and found in it a little drosera
(rotundifolia I think).
I've put this plant in peat and wait... Finally, two new rosettes appeared IN
THE CENTER OF THE TRAP of the two remaining old leaves. A third rosette
appeared from the roots 1 cm away.
I kick myself, because I overwatered the box containing this plant ; I've put
it out in the garden to evaporate a lot and forgot it for two days... The sun
burned everything there, so the drosera itself was dry peat when I remembered
it... Sorb )-:
---A friend has readen an article in a scientific publication, talking about plants increasing their temperature by a chemical process to be able to blossom.
Did anyone heard this somewhere... Or was it the April issue of this publication, that can I not verify.
