Drosera magnifica is a newly discovered species from Brazil.
It only grows on one mountain in two patches. (1500 M above sea level)
It is now being offered for sale for the first time ever. (currently sold out, I believe)
Mine arrived only one week ago.
I'm growing it in a 50/50 peatmoss/perlite mix.
It sits in a tray with 1/8 inch (3mm) water.
The pot is sitting on my basement floor in the coolest place I can find.
Temperatures run from 65 to 70 degrees.
I have it domed until it recovers from shipping and starts producing dew.
Lighting is Daylight LED synchronized to local dawn and dusk.
The advice I was given was, "Grow it like a capensis, just a little bit cooler."
If it does perk up and become happy, I will most likely post an update.
If you look close, you can see it is starting to Booger Up and produce dew.
Special thanks to my favorite plant person for giving me a shot at growing this species!
Good growing,
Mike
