D. ‘Ivan’s Paddle’ with a couple D. burmannii pot squatters.

Absolutely beautiful! The burmannii look great too. In my indoor grow area it's Drosera sessifolia that's the weed, along with D. aliciae.

Those look great! Especially the burmannii!! They're too cute! Anywhoo...I thought I'd hijack this post to avoid creating yet another post myself just a quick question! What is this red nob on my D.Capensis??

Your Sundew is developing an aerial root. It will grow down into the media, bringing moisture and structural support to the plant.


Good growing,
Mike

Very interesting, what would cause it to grow such a root? I hope its not unhappy?

The stem is probably getting too tall for the main roots to support it. Nothing to worry about, it means that your plant is growing well.

Okei Great! Thanks
