Mike, what is the best technique for leaf cuttings from Hercules? Water or wet peat? Also does Hercules set fertile seed?

Sad looking leaf lol. I'm going to have to list my droseras to see if there's any that you want.

Yeah, right now you can’t really tell it’s a Hercules. More like a butchered wideleaf....

You can list your Drosera, but it doesn’t really matter. I’m more of a Sarracenia guy which is why I have a hoard of stratifying sarr seed in the fridge! I got the Hercules to propagate and sell. So I’m sure I can spare one for you!

In that case, I may have a sarracenia offshoot for you!

Ok, so I’m good with Sundews!

Mine tends to stay very upright and compact compared to my other Capensis. Mine too does the odd shape leaves.

Here is the entire plant.
I'm using an 18oz Solo cup as a pot to give an indication of scale.

Everybody else who grows D. x 'Hercules', how are yours doing?

Mine are looking beat right now due to the heat, but they did flower and I did pull seeds to see if they do sprout.

Mine are getting highs of 90F and are doing great. What are your temps?

Last two weeks in the 100’s and this week mid to high 90’s

Mine grow fully outdoors , no greenhouse.
