How do you propegate your p. planifolias? Are each just clones of one plant or are they genetically different? I may be interested in lutea also.

Hey SD long time no see!.
All different plants, as they are hard to pollinate/leaf pull.

Hey Bombsboy,
I'm currently trying my hand at germinating Drosophyllum. When the seeds germinate I'd be happy to trade them for some Filiformis. PM me if you're interested.

Good luck! I found they germinate best in the fall.

Thats a first time for me! Sounds great!
Never had drosophila, heard they are hard to germinate! good luck!!!
Which kind? Tracii or Filliformis?
Leaf cuttings okay? Of full flowering plants? up to you, id rather do leaf cuttings, more plants!

I'd prefer a full flowering plant of Tracyi if its alright with you. (I always get bad luck with leaf cuttings. ) By the way, I have a pot of Capensis that I wouldn't mind trading as well. Most of them are flowering size, but they're a bit small right now since I left them in the shade during winter. I'll post pics in the morning.

Here's a pic. I also have a redder capensis if you want that instead.

Thanks for the pictures, those would be nice to trade, or some cuttings!

Sounds great! How does trading cuttings work? Do you just send a leaf in the mail or do you make the leaf form plantlets and then send it? I'm not very famililiar with trading cuttings. Also, what kind of Drosera Binata do you have, I might be interested in that.

Eric: you can do either, but I prefer to ship plantlets so the recieving end dosent have to wait so long.

IF you live at anehiem CA, you might as well come over to my house lol. I live in Orange.
If you ever ship cuttings, i like to wrap them in moist tissue paper, inside a plastic bag. Treat them like plants! Send it in a box, not an envelope, as it is too risky i beleive!

Alright, I'll tell you when the leaf and root cuts starts producing plantlets. What kind of Drosera Binata do you have? I think I'm pretty interested in that.

Just typical binata, several rooted root cuttings with dewy leavs about 1 inch across!

Keep your eyes on this post as new plants will be added constantly. I am beggining tissue culture and will trade flasked cultures soon, of darlingtonia and various nepenthes! Or whatever you want that I have on my growlist I can TC it! Darlingtonia seeds are up, for limited availability. Packs of 50 (?) will be up for trade/sale.
Thanks for looking
