Hey all,
I bought a bunch of pygmy sundew gemmae online from a fellow enthusiast and tossed a few in an existing pot where only 1 pygmy sundew grew up, and made a second pot and tossed in a bunch of gemmae in there.
The gemmae in the old pot are doing great and are turning into sundews, but the ones in the other pot are a bit tiny and I think some of them might have "vanished" (died I guess).
Is it common to lose gemmae when trying to grow them? like some of them just don't make it?
All growing indoors in a mix of 50/50 peat moss perlite under Yescom225s about 10 inches away. I only bottom water the pots with distilled water.
