Has anybody tried freeze-dried daphnia on Pings? Should work, right?

Any reason for daphnia in particular? I'm sure it would work for pings though, my utrics and aldrovanda loved live ones

I've heard of good results for carnivorous plants in general using live daphnia cultures. The freeze dried daphnia should be no different! Good growing.

Looking for any drosera capensis via seed, pm me!
I'm interested in any sundews.

Daphnia instead of freeze-dried bloodworms. There's a lot of people who have had bad allergic reactions to bloodworms. Since we have a lot of allergies in the family, I'm trying to head off potential problems.

Ahh. I'd still be careful with dried daphnia, evenwind. Daphnia has also been known to cause allergies. It's the dust inhalation that's the problem, so if you want to be really careful maybe wet some in an open area with a dust mask on

Thanks for the reminder. I'll do a lot more investigation before I give them a try.
