Sundew Update

What did I manage to propagate?

D. Binata
D. Intermedia
D. Paradoxa
D. Adelae

What did I manage to germinate?

D. Burmannii
D. Spatulata

Yay! My Intermedia propagated! Finally! I've been trying D. Spatulata too... But they have yet to sprout. Did I mention that my D. Adelae mother plant died? Sobs. I gave it a "leaf"cut trim and suddenly... A head popped out of it's stem! I quickly cut the remaining stem off and proceeded to interrogate that worm... It's blueish and have ugly strands just like a x1000 magnified chromosomes! Sigh. And I thought it died because of my incompetence ): Sob sob.

My D. Filiformis and D. Capensis which I think it's ssp. is Alba and D. Indica are showing very little progress ): Sure, they are geting healthy but not sudden burst of growth yet. Sad sad... But my D. Indica sprouted a flower stem! That's good cos the only way to multiply this baby is through seed germination only ):

But niway, as I do my daily checking, I realised that my Binata has grown beautifully! Nyeh nyeh.

Yup, it's looking something like this. But minus the extravagance by 50%.
My D. Adelae now looks something like this:

I don't have a beautiful clump like this yet but soon... SOON... Cos I already have propagated about 10+ of this baby! They are just waiting to be bigger and potted together with the others :)
How about my D. Intermedia "Cuba"? I only have about three of them at the moment but niway, they look like this:


Why am I only posting links and not my own pictures? Cos they are not ready yet for a photoshoot :) I ordered D. Rotundifolia and hopefully, get to prebook some new sundews and a new type of CP; byblis from Chau Yeong!

Yes I do! <3
