This plant spotlight is our second of the Rainbow Plants, another fairly easy to grow but much less common species than liniflora, probably solely because of its seed-germination requirements (an easy thing to overcome however).

      "Can" vs. "should" are two different things. A chicken from a store being either cooked and/or missing all of the ruffage that feathers provide doesn't constitute a healthy whole diet, and they are frequently more expensive than something bred for animal consumption rather than people consumption.

    So I'm growing my first Byblis, labeled as liniflora, but I'm finding I need to manually pollinate to get seeds. Now I'm questioning if my plant is properly identified.

    • @carltoncarnivores
      @carltoncarnivores 22 дні тому

      If it's a relatively small species with unevenly sized glands, and pale purple, relatively sparse flowers, should be liniflora and seeds should occur on their own (unless the plants are completely undisturbed so the pollen isn't going anywhere, but that's hard to manage).

    • @carltoncarnivores
      @carltoncarnivores 22 дні тому

      Unless you're watching daily and harvest the pod before it fully dries out, it will invariably pop open. However they usually open facing upward so the seeds don't spill until they're disturbed, so if you can get underneath the pod without jostling it you can usually catch seeds falling as you pull it off the stalk.

      Pitcher structure is not the primary let alone sole defining factor between most species in the Indochinese group. There's a reason I stress leaf shape, indumentum, etc. in these videos as well because those are more stable and critical traits. However as an average kampotiana does not produce the same level of globose structure as thorelii, variant populations considered or not. Species names also are never capitalized, only higher taxonomic ranks.
