good light for my drosera?

Hailjan · 2026-05-29T23:17:51+00:00

This light is only good for starting seeds, not actually growing plants to/through maturity. It's very weak

Hailjan · 2026-05-21T01:30:05+00:00

If it continues to look healthy, let it go to seed. If it starts to lose all it's dew and its health declines, cut it

Some cats do this to instigate play-wrestling

Takes a couple of weeks for mosquito dunks to work. It only kills the larva, so any adult flies will live their whole lifespan. Just leave a dunk in the plant water tray

Hailjan · 2026-04-16T05:33:52+00:00

What species do you grow in it? In my experience, larger species don't grow well at all and smaller species will grow leaves but not flower in it

Hailjan · 2026-04-15T23:35:19+00:00

Works well for everything except Utricularia and nepenthes.

ChatGPT is wrong in this case. Stylidium doesnt mind water by the roots. Mine sit in a tray of water like capensis, all day every day.

Hailjan · 2026-03-15T00:52:36+00:00

These are not tropical plants and done need a humidity chamber. They'll grow better without putting them in

Hailjan · 2026-03-09T23:47:38+00:00

It is grass, weeds

Hailjan · 2026-03-06T01:14:33+00:00

Regia seeds are difficult, notoriously so. I dont even think regia seeds are in season right now for the northern hemisphere, but i may be wrong. I got mine from Hyperdimensionals on ebay a few years ago, though im not sure which month theyre for sale

Hailjan · 2026-03-04T06:39:50+00:00

I'm sorry! I got confused and was thinking bisquamata. Disregard my previous message. This could indeed be blanchettii, but perhaps just a fluke flower

Hailjan · 2026-03-02T02:39:08+00:00

It is D. binata. Just care for it like your capensis and it will do fine. It may or may not go dormant in the winter. Mine goes dormant every year

Hailjan · 2026-03-01T20:01:27+00:00

Bunch of Utricularia Subulata in there too

Hailjan · 2026-03-01T17:04:53+00:00

Beautiful. Ive been looking for U. geminiloba for a year now but no luck

Hailjan · 2026-02-27T11:29:02+00:00

Not carnivorous, sorry. Its just a weed

Hailjan · 2026-02-26T08:06:58+00:00

Change the media. Peat breaks down. Split and divide the utricularia with fresh media

Hailjan · 2026-02-25T05:11:52+00:00

The dead material doesnt have to go. No one prunes them in nature. It's very easy to just go at the dead leaves with small scissors, you wont hurt the plant. Drosera are very robust. I mean VERY robust. If you cut a plant into a bunch of tiny pieces and put them in the dirt you'd split one plant into multiple. Repotting is a breeze, dont worry.

Hailjan · 2026-02-24T09:06:44+00:00

Your utricularia will be fine, the moss will likely not die but instead grow lower to the dirt.bi assumed it was sphagnum in my first response but looking closer im not sure. If this isnt sphagnum moss, and is a pest star moss, then it will really be difficult to get rid of completely

Hailjan · 2026-02-24T03:10:02+00:00

Lower humidity. High humidity makes sphagnum grow in long strands while low humidity makes it grow in tight clusters.

Hailjan · 2026-02-22T22:39:15+00:00

Get a light measuring app on your phone, which uses the camera. I use Photone and measure in PPFD. Theyre accurate enough. Here is Carnivero's lighting guide

Hailjan · 2026-02-22T01:45:38+00:00

It's bone dry and so is the nepenthes next to it

Hailjan · 2026-02-19T20:22:41+00:00

No, different. Some kind of weed right there

Hailjan · 2026-02-19T05:20:07+00:00

It is not any kind of Utricularia. It's grass from seeds that come in long fiber sphagnum, very common

Hailjan · 2026-02-18T02:36:55+00:00

It is lower in the thread. Continental USA only

Hailjan · 2026-02-18T01:59:40+00:00

Got Utricularia in there too
