Just some quick pics of my P. filifolia subsp. alba, one of my most prized Pings. Enjoy!

Love it! That's a Ping that wants to be a Sundew!



Good growing,
Mike

Bonjour

Love it. Just got into Pigs myself. One of my favorites is my Moctezuma. What is that pompom looking dew in the background? I love that too.

I think it's D. Lanata, although I'm not certain.

Wow, that filfolia looks like a Drosophyllum!

Bonjour

Yes, plants are still alive, and have managed some seedlings from them. I should take pics soon, but have not have had much interest in my plants as I once did so hard to be motivated for such things.

Mine are alive as well. The smaller ones need to hurry up and start flowering so I can get some seeds. I’ve been spreading the pollen from the large one on other pings in my collection to see if I can get anything to take. Nothing yet, but I’m hopeful.

Bonjour

excellent

they have past a winter ? if yes how old now ?

what substrate use you and what are their growing conditions ( temperature-sunshine ) ?

jeff

These are about 8-9 months old. The soil is 4 parts silica sand to 1 part peat. They stay in a heated terrarium with 90%+ humidity and temperatures range from 80-90F. Lighting is 2 16 watt red/blue LED panels.

Bonjour

merci for the answer.

you mix sand and peat or peat underneath and sand on it (like a little 'in situ')

8-9 months with a winter ?

The sand and peat are mixed together. No winter. I started these this spring and they always stay heated and constant 14 hour photo period. They will probably die if I try to mimic winter conditions since they are annuals.

Y'all wouldn't have any seeds you'd be willing to part with for a reasonable price, would you?

I haven’t been able to get seeds yet because I only have one plant flowering at the moment and it takes two different plants to get seeds. And I’ll probably keep any I get this year. I plan on trying to grow them outdoors next year and want as many as possible to fill up a large pot I have planned for them.
You can try Johnny Myob or Rayner Rodriguez Diaz on Facebook. They probably have some available.

Ok, thanks for the tip.
