Plants- Drocera Sundew Carniverous plant

Oh, wonderful Drocera.

One of my new plants that I am trying out is the Drocera.

I have one drocera plant that has been doing really well.

I got this about 3 weeks ago and it has a lot of new growth.  The older stalks look  a little dry but I think this is due to shipping.  It is bouncing back great.  I love it's unusual shape and texture.

I decided to try doing gemmae (clones) also.  I have been growing the clones for 3-4 weeks.  I have never done clones but it hasn't been very hard.  The clones are still very small and would fit on a pencil erasure.  They are finally big enough to catch on camera.

 I bought my gammae from:

I can't wait for them to get large enough to take a really cool picture.

These plants need light and distilled water.  They are in a mix of peat moss and sand with some perlite.  They need to stay wet- always water in their saucer.

I am also trying seeds but do not have results yet.  I just put them down today.  I'll let you know in a week or two how it goes.

plants, plants, and more plants

My current favorite thing- My plants.  I think I miss the outdoors and keep trying to make the inside just a little bit greener.  My favorite plants right now include:

My orchid that did not bloom last year but gave me so many this year.

My staghorn fern.  I just love having this above my head in the bathtub.

My mother fern- it grows the babies right on the leaves.

My drocera/ sundew carniverous plant.

And last but not least...

My air plants- which I adore and keep finding new ones.

Well, that is it for now.  I'm sure I will be back with my other interests-
