PYGMY DROSERA GEMMAE: Drosera x Carbarup
Gemmae season 2020 is now closed
- Drosera xCarbarup - 10 Fresh gemmae
- Gemmae are modified leaves only found on pygmy drosera and are generally only available during the autumn and winter months
- These modified leaves act as a live seed or tiny seedling and usually germinates much quicker than ordinary carnivorous plant seeds
- Fresh gemmae are packed in between wet paper towels to stay moist during shipping
- As with our other seed orders gemmae are shipped in a padded envelope for protection
- Sow gemmae as soon as it arrives as they do not store well
- Spread gemmae on fresh carnivorous plant soil or pre-moistened long fiber sphagnum moss and use a fine mist spray with clean water to ensure proper contact with the soil
- Choose gemmae placement carefully as pygmy drosera have very fragile roots and are not fond of root disturbance and repotting
- Fill a tray with approximately 0.5-1 cm reverse osmosis- or distilled water to keep the soil moist, and grow in a protected area with a couple of hours morning sun or bright artificial light
