I guess I'll start my first real post with the bunch of plants that I find easiest to propagate: Pygmy Droseras!!! Note: Please excuse my lousy camera skills...and some of these pics have been posted elsewhere before, so if they look familiar, that's why  D. oreopodion  D. ericksoniae  D. helodes  D. dichrosepala  D. pulchella forest  The ever popular D. scorpioides  Saving my personal fav for last... A mini-christmas tree...D. paleacea  |

ifurita...lovely photos. i`m starting on my batch of pygmies rite now...so your photos are a welcome delight. do they produce gemmae for you ? i`m guessing that you grow them indoors under growlights or a terrarium ?

Hi Tarence, You are?That's great!! Good luck, hope they do well for you!  Yup, they produce gemmae, that's why I find them so easy to propagate. I gotta admit that harvesting the gemmae is rather time consuming, heh. You can see some gemmae being produced in 3 of the pics I posted. Most of them are grown indoors, but they have to make do with whatever light comes in through the window. I'm too lazy to set up lights or a terrarium for any of my CPs, heh. Some do get air-con since they're in my room and I turn on the air-con at night, but I don't cover them so they have to make do with the humidity drop at night. They don't need cooling or growlights though: the ones I grew out from gemmae do okay outdoors and I've got the various people I gave baby D. pulchellas to who can attest to this, so don't worry if you intend to grow your pygmies outdoors, they can grow just fine. |

Lol...Athene, I think that venusflytrapman just means that I should feed insects to the pygmy Drosera, haha.

Tarence, you're right, the pulchella and the scorpioides are producing gemmae. The third is the D. dichrosepala |
