what the container was before....  what it later became....heheh...i needed a pot of that size & height...drilling 3 holes about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom allowed it to be self water-containing. the container was of course washed like about 50 times, left overnite a couple of times with clean water to ensure no residue from the original contents spills over.  |

Whoa Tarence, good for u lah. All ur plants seems to be happy, and i'm happy for u. Your pings were flowering and now your paradoxa? cool!  Do u think letting it flowering will have any effects, e.g making the plant lose its energy? p/s: the handwriting at the capensis pot looks familiar, isnt it D? hihi ;D |

i`m not sure about flower/ plant relationship for the d.paradoxa....mebbe the experts ( Lim help ! ) can advise ? kinda worried too coz my other paradoxa is also flowering now. worse case scenario : both adults gone ! but i still got 3 small plantlets laa. heheh.
my questions :
1. should i snip off the flowers ?
2. does it self -seed or even seed at all ?
Haha, yep, how come David is labelling my plants ?

Haha, yep, how come David is labelling my plants ? I know the answer! I know the answer! That's because the plant almost died in David's growing conditons. So the whole pot together with the tag were consficated be Tarence and David has been charged for cruelty to Sundews. Tarence was being kind to just mentioned "another grower". p/s: Naj, you are very sharp to have spotted that. Amazing how you can remember my handwriting. |

I let my D. paradoxa to flower and no sign of dying. But they won't self polinated. Two plants of the same clone also cannot. As all my plants are come from one singe plant. So, to get them to produce seeds, you need to get the different clone. My plant is from Taiwan.

d.binata multifida extrema flowers are quite tall yah ? i think jon has let his flower as well & i`ve stopped chopping mine off since apparently it doesn`t affect the mother plant. the flower stalks are about 1 foot in height. quite impressive.  close up of the flowers  |

Tarence, Mine do get exhausted when it flowers. Looks like all the energy are channeled to making them beautiful flowers, draining the plant! And after letting two flower stalks to flower (gosh they last for the longest time!) I started to chop off new flowerstalk. But it continues to produce flowerstalks nonstop, to date I've chopped of 5 budding flowerstalks! I'm trying to revive the plant to its former dewy glory, or elseI might have to start all over. |
