Looking to buy some seeds or seedlings or leaf cuttings of this plant Seeds I'd buy from anywhere and don't mind shipping, but live plants I'd prefer to pick up locally. I often travel between Toronto and Kingston (Ontario), so I can pick up anywhere along that route or close enough to either city. Oh, also looking for P. Ehlersiae if anyone has a small one for sale. Thanks!

The capensis you can find seeds very frequently off ebay from canadian and American sellers. Don't buy from China though. They often rip you off with the cheap prices. You should pay around 3$ for about 20-50 seeds. For capensis. Hope this helps.

D. capensis 'Red' looks nice when it's in full red, that is when it is receiving really intensive light. do you have enough light for it?

I have a small 100W CF lamp if my balcony proves not enough. There is one corner of my balcony that gets at least a solid 6 hrs direct light every day, it's where the VFT lives so hopefully it'll be enough for the dews.

I have only a couple microscopic seedlings at this time - taking a very long time to grow...

...I have some medium sized plants that somehow survived a very brutal dormancy, they were left for dead pretty much. Devon has some very nice specimens. All will be available at my meet up which I will tentatively say will be on July 30 (date still might change). You can have mine for free but I think Devon will be selling his (they are much nicer!) Cheers.

They came back!, I suspect they are a very hardy plant and definitely an easy grower. AV.

Drosera capensis is Subtropical, it is capable to go into dormant forms during unfavorable seasons.
