I sowed some D. Capensis seeds at the end of September 2019 and from those seeds one plant has produced a flower stalk and is in the midst of flowering.
Today’s flowers.
Yesterday (3/13)
Here are some pics from when I sowed the seeds and then eventually transplanted them into individual pots:
Seeds were sowed on lfsm:peat mix and grown inside my grow closet under T8 fluorescent lights in about 80% RH. Germination of seeds was observed at end of October 2019.
Seedlings at end of November 2019.
Seedlings in January 2020.
Transplanted into individual 2.5” pots containing peat:sand mix at beginning of February 2020.
The biggest seedling (one at beginning of post) began to put out flower stalk at the end of February 2020.
Overall, this has been good practice raising an easy growing drosera species from seed into specimen sized plants. Recently, I have purchased some S. American drosera seeds from Brazil and am currently awaiting their shipment. The species I ordered are:
-Drosera camporupestris
-Drosera graomogolensis
-Drosera spiralis
I am aware that these S. American drosera listed above are a cooler growing species that the Capensis, so I am going to have to create a different setup for them.
