Hi,
I've started a new vivarium concept for australian queennsland's sundews and Utricularia species. It's still unfinished, I've only planted some U.dichotoma and moss clumps for a start, I observe the conditions now. The humidity is high, up to 85% when the fan is turned off (I've placed one in the cover for a good air circulation), when turned on the humidity drops down to 70%. Two T5 neon lights, one Phillips aquarelle 4000K, the other one Phillips master 10000K, both 8W. I made the cover by myself, it's still unfinished. I'm waiting for the ordered plants to arrive and for a fogger i bought on the net. I'll post more pics when I'll put more plants inside. The water level is low - 2 inches, I want to put some Lesser Duckweed in it. Maybe it looks a bit like a paludarium because of that. I've put some LECA pellets under the peat to not let the peat to get too moist.

Very cool!

it is gonna turn out great, i just know it!!!

Looks pretty sweet, give us an update when you get it setup Until now i never knew australia had any sundew or utricularia species, and upon looking up them i found out there were a few nepenthes species as well. They all occur around the region where i grew up too

That's great! I would like to see Australia one day, that's for sure.

I planted 3 Drosera prolifera, one D. adelae (all small plants), added a clump of U. calycifida, small clumps of U. uliginosa and U.uniflora. The U.dichotoma is doing well. I'll post more photos soon, I'm waiting for the plants to look nice:)

Oh yes, I putted U.australis in the water too.

Here's a small update on the plant's growth. I was forced to change the soil, as mold was developing on the peat, so I used live sphagnum and placed the plants inside in pots.

Drosera roraimae {Gran Sabana, GPS location}

Utricularia calycifida:


Sorry the photos are of bad quality, the neon light tubes give a photo-unfriendly light

Always wanted to setup a hexagon. I like the look Moof! Happy Growing!
Hope to see more!
