I have try to germinate D. peltata few time but not success. So I though our climate may not suitable for D. peltata.

However, my though change after I click the link below.

Yes. D. peltata can be found in Java!! The climate quite close to our country.

Then, I start thinking whether this sundew can be found in our country. So, I try to search through the net. And I found this site...

Lim,

I can remember vaguely during my school days (was only 15 years old then), I went hiking with some friends. We passed this swampy area where I saw my first CP, ie. N. gracilis.

Now in that area I remembered hiking through the open area of grasses, ferns and wet sandy media where I was irritated by some plants with sticky leaves sticking all over my leg. I did not know what it was at that time but as I think through now, it might be D. peltata. It looks like peltata. kinda tall. If not it should be D. indica.

I'll try to make a trip back and search the area. Hopefully it has not been developed. It has been so many years. Hopefully I can remember where it was.

i sowed them and ignored them. the media is peat and sand, they get about 3hrs of sun in the morning and the pot is sitting on a tray of water. i didn't do anything special to them but the seeds are very fresh tho. maybe that's a factor?
