Identifying Darlingtonia Seedlings and Woolly Sundew in Yucatan Climate

Plant 1: Darlingtonia californica Seedlings

Very difficult in Yucatan—native to Siskiyou Mtns (OR/CA): warm summers, cool/snowy winters, spring-fed. Challenging even in Oregon. Likely mass-germinated for sale.

Plant 2: Drosera paradoxa (Woolly Sundew)

Tropical Australian—loves hot, humid, sunny. Plant stem deeper; acclimate gradually to full sun. See care sheets.
