In Southern Australian highlands, most sundews come out at various times, but never mid summer or mid winter. Mid summer is dry, mid winter is frosty/icy or sometimes snowy. I say this because portions of Southern Australia are highlands. Also, I love these videos!
i think tuberous drosera are more hardy than others, I found literally thousands of D. hookeri (which is a widely distributed tuberous species ranging from NSW through VIC and even down to tassie and new zealand) growing in my uncles lawn in pure, rock hard clay. D. hookeri ended up being my first carnivorous plant which got me into the hobby.
They probably are the hardiest of them all, considering they form a tuber underground that withstands drought and heat haha. But that’s really cool info! I’ve seen (on UA-cam and videos from subscribers) lots of different species growing in random patches in South Aus too. It’s great how “easy” they are to grow
Hi love your videos always interesting and informative. I'm in England, and old school, so its helpful to me when you mention inches, I like when you say like 7 inches.
great video! excuse me, I have a menziesii drosera but I just have one plant, it will give me seeds? and also, it would be reproduced cutting parts of the plant and putting them on the sphagnum??? (making esquejes) I don't know the word in English, excuse me xD thanks!!!
Thank you! It might give you seeds if you fertilize it. I’m not sure how well the cross pollinating will work though. I don’t think leaf cutting will work well, but you can try. They naturally make more tubers underground when they get big enough. So over time you will have many more
Hi I’m the person with the Drosera Tubaestylis question I should note I have success with Sarracenia even with dormancy I don’t know if the dormant Sarracenia plant is a indication that the Tubaestylis might grow here since it might be just cool enough but as you said I’ll give it a try also I hope I’m not bothering you because I’ve read a 25-27 Celsius max during their growing season so I had to ask just to be safe
Hi, d'you think I can grow these guys in my cold greenhouse (which goes up to 35-40°c in summer and probably around 3-4°c at the lowest in winter) ? I just kicked the sarra out of the greenhouse and I'm thinking about growing all kind of drosera that can tolerate these conditions.
Now in September is a good time to go with tray method and water them? We have now 20°C temp max and 10°C night temps... Or i have to wait until they grow to water them???
Hey, i was feeding ants to my nepenthes, when one ant bit it, i could see a bit of liquid where the ant has bitten, 😣 is this normal or is it like a hazard that ants can eat your nepenthes monkey cups?
That’s really weird how small is the nepenthes? It’s not a big issue. The ants won’t purposefully eat your plant so it’s nothing to worry about. I’m just surprised that the ant was able to do that 😂
@@TheFlytrapGarden Its quite a big healthy nepenthes alata and the ants like always climb up and down a tree, the holes have some slimy liquid that tastes exactly like honey comming out, i wont be feeding it ants anymore.
Can I grow Drosera Tubaestylis in Miami South Florida our winter here between December and February is between 15 Celsius and 23 Celsius and our summers here are between 23 Celsius and 31 Celsius
@@vsocarras27 it should be ok as long as they get their water in winter and dry out in summer, it may take a bit of work to get them to grow in winter as it’s not too cold but there’s no harm in trying. I would reccomend some of the easier species however
To note I might put it outside in direct sunlight just underneath my patio roof since our raining season sadly is during summer and our winter it barely rains luckily for me I have a grow light inside my room
I guess the same way you’d acclimate other in vitro plants. I have never done this as I grow all of mine outside, so I’m sorry but I can’t really give any answer for that 😓
@@TheFlytrapGarden do it! I’ll donate for you to give me 1 on 1 advice on my terrarium set up and show me what I’m doing wrong because I’m having a hard time growing sundewsz
I have 2 drosera adlae in a bog pot.Is it possible for me to keep them outside during winter under a clear plastic garbage bag for protection?(I live in Canada Ontario), or do I have to bring them inside?
@@TheFlytrapGarden I heard that lance-leaved sundews can go to freezing, and would die back and regrow from there roots during the spring.So I will try the bag.Thanks for feedback!
Yep they do grow back from their roots often. But the plant dies and new ones come from the roots rather than it goes dormant and comes back from the roots of that makes sense
@@TheFlytrapGarden Oh so when it get cold the plant dies ,and new (but genetically the same plant) grow from the roots of the dead one.So do the new plants quickly grow back to size of the original, or do the plants grow like normal baby sundews, and will take a while to reach maturity?
Yep! Yes they will grow back and be smaller. They will grow a little bit quicker than if it were from seeds, but still quite slow. Maybe 2/3 seasons until it gets back to a mature size.

I’m glad to hear that! I try to include both measurement types for everyone. Have a good day!
Great video, some interesting info. That container at 8:02 is often referred to as a "click clack"
Good to know!
You’re a veritable cornucopia of great information!

It should be ok if the sarracenia go dormant, as long as you don’t exceed those temperatures it should work out well
Do you have a video specifically for Drosera hookeri? More like a species spotlight?
Would the tubers need water if you do the plastic bag + cupboard method?
Hi, d'you think I can grow these guys in my cold greenhouse (which goes up to 35-40°c in summer and probably around 3-4°c at the lowest in winter) ?
I just kicked the sarra out of the greenhouse and I'm thinking about growing all kind of drosera that can tolerate these conditions.
Maybe I should grow these once I get more experienced? I don’t even think they sell these in nurseries.
Not in a typical nursery no
Do you have any currently for sale, even the smaller ones?
Now in September is a good time to go with tray method and water them?
We have now 20°C temp max and 10°C night temps...

Depends on which hemisphere you are in. If you are in the northern hemisphere, now is the time to start watering
@@TheFlytrapGarden yes! Im from spain.

They may have just bitten near a nectar gland. Nepenthes have them all over the plant
@@TheFlytrapGarden Oh, ok then nepenthes are sorta like humans, thx for advice.

Can I grow Drosera Tubaestylis in Miami South Florida our winter here between December and February is between 15 Celsius and 23 Celsius and our summers here are between 23 Celsius and 31 Celsius
That should be fine, however that cold temperature might not be cool enough. Do you grow other tubers?
Too be honest no

I've seen some tuberous drosera being sold in vitro. How should they be acclimated???
I guess the same way you’d acclimate other in vitro plants. I have never done this as I grow all of mine outside, so I’m sorry but I can’t really give any answer for that 😓
@@TheFlytrapGarden Okay thank you! As they're soo weird I was insecure, however I'll try and see what happens. :)
do tuberous drosera require warm stratification?
No they don’t. However they will only sprout in winter time/when they feel cold and wet.
Would Florida be considered very humid?
I would say yes but I have never been there
@@TheFlytrapGarden perfect for these varieties of Drosera?
@@plantguy9 Florida is a carnivorous plant hotspot for collectors and I believe it is similar to where I grow, so yes
Bro set up patreon so we can donate a £ or two 🙂
I’ve been thinking of starting up a patreon but not too sure if I should 😅

I would suggest that you bring them inside as your winters are very cold. But you can always try the plastic bag if you’d like as an experiment
