I would like to work some kind of trade for a few D Adelae green plants. I currently grow D.Adelae Red and they are finally doing great...If you have a few please message me with what you may want in a trade. Thanks

As far as I know there is no variety of adelae that stays all green. Mine are green but I assume that if I had them under higher light they would turn red

I have regular Drosera adelae from Predatory Plants. It shows no inclination to turn red. I also have Drosera adelae "Giant from California Carnivores". It turns very red, almost maroon. They sit side by side. I don't have an extra plant but I could cut off a leaf, wrap it in a wet paper towel in a Ziploc baggie and send it to you if you'd like. Sort of a thank you for your seed giveaways.

Good growing,
Mike

I still have two 4" pots left each filled with regular adelae I'm trying to give away through sale or trade. Haven't heard of any "green" variety though.

Okay I guess I have a whole pot of D.Adelae. Mine has never been even slightly green it's like shadowtski mentioned almost maroon. I bought mine from Natch Greyes I will have to find out which type that I grow.
Yet I see others have a huge clump that's totally green...Like Tommyr's plants.. This is what I meant.. And am hoping to find..

Sent you a PM.

There is no green variety. With good lighting they all turn red. If you want them green the put them under less light.

What Jcal said.

Exactly what I thought

Okay thanks for that great information... I made a trade for some that are greener than mine. I will grow them side by side and see what happens. The plant I have was in very poor lighting all winter and remained very red never turned green... of course most people probably prefer the more colorful plants..

That is one red adelae. 8/
