Question
Pygmy Drosera
I just purchased your e-book and now I am trying to dismantle my terrarium and move them to the best locations for them. I have several plants I do not know the exact name and where it is from so it makes it difficult. I have had all my plants for 1 1/2 years in the terrarium and most of them did very good but few of them did not like my venus fly traps which I already moved to there own pots and outside. I live outside of Philadelphia PA, I think it is Zone 6. The first plant I think is a Drosera ssp, not sure of the complete name but I think it is a Pygmy any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Rick
AnswerHi Rick,
Yes, your sundew is a pygmy sundew. I can't identify the exact species or hybrid, but it definitely belongs to the family of pygmy sundews. (To properly identify a pygmy sundew, you'll need a flower too.)
Caring for pygmy sundews is like caring for other tropical sundews, such as Drosera spatulata or Drosera multifida. I highly recommend also watching Volume 2 of the Grow Carnivorous Plants DVD series. You'll get to see how we grow them at our nursery and how you can grow them in your home without terrariums.
