FREE: Drosera Intermedia Cuba (Carnivorous)

The listing, Drosera Intermedia Cuba (Carnivorous) has ended.

****I couldn't lower the days on the other one so I started a new one that would end sooner****

This auction is for ( 6 ) seeds.
Media (soil composition) and moisture level:
Drosera intermedia are very adaptable as long as the media is kept very moist to waterlogged. You can use 1 sphagnum peat: 1 silica sand, or 100% dead Long-fibered sphagnum.

Pot height:
Tropical D. intermedia can be grown in shallower 3 inch pots, but it can develop very long roots. Check out the D. intermedia 'Cuba' picture. The roots have reached about 6 inches tall. Use a 6-inch pot to allow the plant to have ample space for roots to spread.

Lighting:
Give D. intermedia as much light as possible- either in a sunny location outdoors in a minibog or very close to fluorescent lights.

Feeding:
Most tropical forms of D. intermedia can only handle smaller portions of food. It will develop mold if it is overfed. You can pluck the moldy portion off with tweezers and it will be fine.

Temperature/Humidity:
Tropical forms of D. intermedia love balmy conditions. Keep temps around 75-80 degrees Farenheight and humidity around 80% if possible. Otherwise, 60-70% is fine. If kept cooler, it will encourage flowering, but this will greatly reduce the size of D. intermedia 'Cuba'. Lower temps are not an issue with D. intermedia (Mount Roraima).

Dormancy requirements:
Tropical D. intermedia DO NOT need a dormancy period. They may slip into a hibernacula bud if the photoperiod is too short, the media is too dry, or it gets too cold.

Propagation:
Both tropical and temperate forms of D. intermedia will spread rapidly on their own if they are happy and the media is kept moist enough.

Good luck & God Bless.
