Tracyi is pretty confidently considered its own species separate from filliformis in the scientific community, it's mainly the plant keeping community that pushes back and continues labelling them as var. Stacyi. As far as the coldy hardiness, they are naturally cold hardy. I'm right in their native range on the Gulf coast and visit them often in the wild, and we do get sub freezing temps every year just not for extended times
We usually get below freezing temps here, at times around 8 degrees. Usually its the coldest from mid December to end of February. So we usually stay cold for a bit.
I think this is probably a D. tracyi and it's probably relatively normal for it to live through a freeze as you describe. The Florida panhandle where these live does receive freezes into the teens sometimes.
Hello 8 I have a question sundews 1.)How often do sundews need to eat? 2.)Can you feed a sundew with an earthworm? 3.)Can you feed sundews fish flakes? 4.)What can you do with sundew flowers? 5.)What can I feed my Drosera apart from worms 6.)Can sundews eat crickets? 7.) Are sundews self pollinating? 8.) Can you put sundews in a Mini greenhouse -> What should you pay attention to when purchasing? 🤔 a)Mini greenhouse with a heated bottom 37x23xh21cm - for germinating and rooting plants b.) Self-watering greenhouse / propagator 37.5x13.5xh16cm c.) Mini greenhouse with heated bottom + Self-watering 37.5x13.5xh16cm
1: they dont need to eat. They’re plants. They get energy from the sun. 2: yes 3: yes 4: cut them to allow your plant to grow faster, or let them bloom and self pollinate for the seeds so you can make more. 5: fruit flies 6: some species of sundews can. It depends on the type of sundew. All of the ones in my garden can not. 7: yes 8: you can but they aren’t required unless you’re using it to simulate their natural environment.
I leave mine by a sunny location. Next to a compost bin . My Drosera Filliformus varieties and D . capensis get tons for fruit flys and house flys their . Leaves get peppered in them .
hi , Ahoj I'm new to the carnivorous plant scene help. I recently bought sundew seeds on Amazon. Drosera seeds 100 seeds (Mix) 1.) Do filter jugs make sense? 2.) Is sundew from a filter jug healthy? 3.)What should you pay attention to when buying a filter jug? 4) Which is better Dafi or BRITA? 5) I was told that boiled and then cooled water is good for sundews. Can anyone confirm this? 6) Should we hand feed them at some point? as the domes are closed at the seedling stage to maintain humidity, preventing insects from entering. 7._Should we open the dome every few days to get some fresh air? 8.)I would like to, I thought. catching rainwater. ? 9.) I wish, I thought. catching snow water? sorry if my english is not good 🙁
1: yes you can use water filters. 2: if you use the right filter yes they’ll be fine. 3: the amount of minerals the filter can remove. 4: Neither. Use Zerowater. 5: Only if you have a distilling kit. 6: you can yes. For sundews use fruit flies. Just remember they’re plants and bugs are fertilizer, so don’t “feed” too many. 7: Keep it by a super sunny window. The air in your house will be fine. 8: rainwater is perfect for it. 9: snow works too once melted.
@@DLCoates1I got permission to use a rain barrow at a local church . Also the church yard for a full day of sun . I strain out the water to catch mosquito larva . That I feed to my Drosera Filliformus.
It's nice to listen to you and watch you, I wish you further development of this channel you're the best RUclipsr
