I know this is a lower effort video, but I thought it’d be interesting to share how tuberous drosera look during dormancy :) I hope you enjoy!
Those are tuberous drosera??? Not some fungi mushrooms?
Yes haha. The ball is the tuber, the white stick is the dead “root/stem”.
Very helpful actually!
Thanks Phil 😊
Thankyou for teaching me so much. My plants are doing great.
Happy to hear that! 😁
They look like matchsticks. Mother Nature is a cruel joker knowing that bush fires happen in Australia.
Also where did you get tuberous drosera? I’m thinking of getting one in the very far future once I’ve perfected growing my Venus Flytraps and Sarracenia in this very hot and dry climate.
Haha yes they actually do! I thought they looked like alien eggs.
I got them from a private grower but I have a few extra tubers of a couple species that I need to sell before they start growing in winter.
Goodluck with your growing!
Hi, i have a question, the white stick that you remove from the tuber, do you have to do it always?
I have some tubers with the stick attached into them and it seems somehow still "alive".. do you recommend to wait in my case?
Thank you!
Only remove them if you want to, and if you do, pull them off only when they're easily able to come off :)
@@TheFlytrapGarden thank you, ill wait then, they are still strongly attached
awesome! I've got a question, do you know the procedure of acclimating tuberous in-vitro Drosera to external conditions??
No I don’t but it’s a slow one. Keep it bagged and don’t let humidity drop
Super satisfying 😍😍
Hey nice timelapse! what species of Tuberous drosera is that? very colored bulb!
There were 4 species. I think this was gunniana
@@TheFlytrapGarden do you plant the bulb near to the surface?
Im gonna buy some and have doubts about the depth of tubers!
Hmmm about an inch below the surface. I have done a video on this about 10 months ago ☺️
@@TheFlytrapGarden your videos are very good! Thank you for the tip
Thank you! I really appreciate it :)
are you selling some of those that where left over or you giving them to friends?
I am selling them but only to people in Australia due to postal delays :)
@@TheFlytrapGarden can u please send here in the philippines
So satisfying!
Nice
Very interesting video. Enjoy your channel and videos. Covid has got me back into carnivores plants, I had some VFTs in HS a long time ago (pre-internet 😬) but they always died - not enough sun and no dormancy, who knew lol. But informative videos from RUclipsrs like you have helped immensely. VFTs I bought this summer are in my garage in a dormancy box (I definitely over engineered) and built (design based on HelixPlants box from one of his videos). I’m in Canada N44.23 degrees so needed something to keep them between 32-38F, and they’re doing great. Also my drosera that I planted from seed 2 months ago are really doing well. Those tuberous drosera look really interesting might try those in the future. Do they need more drainage than capensis type drosera?

That sounds really cool I’d be interested to see this box you made! Tuberous drosera need more sand in their mix compared to capensis (arguably) but capensis can grow in this sandy mix ( 1 peat : 2 sand). However the majority of tuberous drosera won’t be happy in a capensis mix. So it’s fine one way but not the other
@@TheFlytrapGarden thanks for the info on those tuberous Drosera, much appreciated.
Here is the video from HelixPlants regarding his dormancy box. (Credit where credit’s due)

I went a smidge overboard with mine. So I sprayed the outside (2 sides at a time) with 1” insulating spray foam. I tried the 3” spray foam thinking it would be quicker coverage but it didn’t work as well, I found it expanded too much didn’t look like it would work well insulating the box. I didn’t cover the lid with foam so I could still use some LED lights through the clear top for a couple of weeks until it got too cold and I needed to cover the top with styrofoam. Plus I can use the LEDs again in the spring through the lid until it’s warm enough to put them outside.
I put a piece of 1/2” styrofoam in the bottom cut to size then I put a piece of 1/8” steel plate (almost as large as the styrofoam) on top of the styrofoam and used electrical tape to secure the reptile heating cable to the steel. I used the steel thinking it would act as a heat sink storing heat to slow the temperature loss when the heater was off. Thought that would help when we get temps down to -20c, though usually don’t get those low temperatures for long durations.
Oh and I placed a baking cooling rack on the steel as a spacer between the heatings cable and the plant tray as I thought putting the tray directly on the heating cable might heat it up too much before the air heated up enough to trigger the thermostat to turn off the heating cable.
So the heating cable is plugged into a thermostat. Also inside the box I have a remote temperature sensor so I can monitor the Min/Max/current temperatures in the box from inside my warm home. This was a proof of concept this winter to see it it works and they survive before I look at spending money on some more interesting cultivars. So far so good. They’ve been in the box for almost 2 months now and so far they look the same as the day I put them in there. They haven’t needed any water so far as they were quite damp when I put them in there. I did end up removing some water as I noticed they were covered in a heavy dew about 4 weeks ago and I thought that might lead to mold issues. Luckily no mould issues yet. 🤞
Let me know if you’d like some more (or specific) pictures of this box. I totally get that went a bit overboard building this dormancy box but found it was a good distraction from all the chaos currently going on in the world. 😃
That’s awesome! Really looks like you ticked all the boxes. And you know, for me I’d rather over do something and make sure it’s perfect and no chance for any problems to arrive rather than do something that I can’t control perfectly. And you thought of everything so well done! Maybe some air movement with a PC fan may help with humidity / heat dispersion etc. but sounds great!
Helix plant guy, I know him as another name. He has a second channel I think so it’s interesting to see he made another one for plants.
Are tuberous sundews like potatoes or something like that?
Haha kind of. Potatos store their energy in the potato and so do tubers in their tubers, but there’s a scientific difference in that the roots grow out of potatos vs. roots growing out of the stem from tuberous drosera, where this stem grows out of the tuber. You can google the terms between corms, tubers and bulbs etc
Here in the USA it's winter
How long does this really take
I have 4 different varieties of Venus flytrap seeds(1. Generic green - Dionaea muscipula, 2. akay riu -Dionaea muscipula, 3. bristol tooth - Dionaea muscipula, 4. la grosse à guigui - Dionaea muscipula ), I planted them in live sphagnum moss, did I do it right, I also planted drosera binata seeds in live sphagnum moss, by the way I am from India 🇮🇳.
Yes they can grow in sphagnum moss peat and perlite is the better soil but moss is fine. Just letting you know, if you grow any VFT “cultivar” from seeds, it’s just a typical plant. It is not the cultivar. This is because the babies from seed will not be the same as the parents
@@TheFlytrapGarden You mean they will not see any characteristics of any cultivar, And what about the drosera binata are they alright in live sphagnum moss.
@@rajeshranjan2052 yes exactly! I’m glad you understand it as some people don’t get what I say haha. And yes binata should be happy in sphagnum
@@TheFlytrapGarden Too bad it happened to me, I bought 10-10 seeds of 3 different Venus Flightrap Cultivar for 200-200 INR, while 10 seeds of the typical Vein Flytrap were only INR 100, ( 100 INR = 1.37 American dollars and 200 INR = 2.73 American dollars ; INR mean Indian rupees )
This means that I paid double.
