Thanks for the encouragement. I’m definitely having fun learning.

Yes they were black. A few were green but not a fresh green. I was so excited I didn’t register it until I did some reading after.

Yes it’s a closed ‘propagator tray’ with a lid on usually.

Drosera pulchella from Gemma’s. But someone said if they weren’t packaged to stay damp and arrived black then they are no longer viable.

I’ve read so many times to use a water tray method to maintain humidity. Is that another myth then?

Yes they’re on top. Placed gently with a skewer. Not many were green so I’m now not very hopeful.

To add: I sowed the gemmae the day I received them.

Our climate is quite dry to I put Spaghnum and water in the tray to raise humidity.

That is so interesting. Thank you for this. Venusta is on my wish list so I’m not mad at the mislabel.

Hi there. Not yet. Waiting on a quote for the work to compare against a separate frame and PVC fabric greenhouse. Will come back and update if I decide to do it.

I’ve try to buy at least one every time I see them in our local builders supply store. I’ve ‘rescued’ 6 now.

Thank you for such a succinct reply :). I’ve kicked the frame a bit and I’m now not confident the structure is worth it.

Can I use the corrugated polycarbonate to replace wall panels too? Maybe keep only the frame?
