FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

This morning I noticed a lot of my outside Drosera are shutting down for the coming Winter and forming hibernacula. These resting buds help plants survive Wisconsin cold weather.

I noticed a plantlet formed at the end of a flower stalk. It has no roots but appears to be forming a hibernaculum instead. I grow my collection with benign neglect so I didn't notice the new plantlet until now. I cut it off and planted it. We'll see if it survives and comes back next Spring.

This is a first for me with the instant hibernaculum. Has anyone else observed this on their temperate Drosera?

I've grown Drosera filiformis and its various hybrids for over 15 years, and it's the first time that I've seen this.

Very unique occurrence. Thanks for sharing!

I heard this happening with VFTs its rare.
