Drosophyllum cultivation


Question
Hi Jeff & Jacob.

I'm getting my greenhouse shortly and this summer I want to try my hand at raising some Drosophyllum. I know they're tricky and temperamental but am prepared to give it a go.  

Any advice? If you can do a video on this for everyone it'd be amazing.

Answer
We don't answer questions about general growing instructions because sometimes the general care involves a lot of writing.  Much of the information is also found on the internet.  We also produced a video illustrating the care of this plant in our Grow Carnivorous Plants, Volume 2 DVD.  

Here are are a couple pages I found that will point you in the right direction.

After you get your plant and you experience an issue with it, definitely write to us, and we'll help you get on the right track.  I reviewed those two pages, and they will give you a sense of what you need to do to prep for your upcoming plants.

Good growing!
