Didnt want to post on the other thread so i started a new one. Ill send pics after seems i have trouble with photo bucket. I sowed 3 seeds on the soil of the mother plant and just forgot about them. 2 months after they germinated without any treatment. Got More seeds coming on many tips of the plant. Its even making a basal. Its definitely one of my favorite plant.

Hi Labine - Fantastic looking plant, and great to see the seedlings! I too love Roridula, they are absolutely amazing CP. Wish their mutualist bugs were legal to posses, but that's another story. Interesting you are getting basal branching. Largest plant is just a bit bigger than yours, but no sign of any growth lower on the plant. Your plant must be happier than mine. Thanks for sharing!

...WOW!!! I remember seeing some of your Roridula pics in a thread that I cannot retrace. Was going to PM you (and probably still will) about growing tips. From what I remember from that thread is that you grow both, R. Gorgonias and R. Dentata. Which one is this? Awesome growing man!!!, Salut!
AV.

apoplast: interesting for sure , never thought it could happen! I found it when cleaning up dead leaves. Not sure if its happier than yours, i give it a real hard time. In the spring, i take it from inside under t-5 to full blast sun without any acclimatation. It doesnt struggle at all. I left it in 4 inches of water all summer , no problem.This is a pic of a Roridula Gorgonia in Sweden at the botanical garden of gothenburg. Must be 10-15 years old or something. Very nice. They had a very intense cp collection too.

AV: this is R Gorgonia. Unfortunately, i dont have a Dentate. Seriously nothing different then a Drosera. Alot of light and water.

Hi Labine - Wow, that thing is massive! Looks like they've needed to stake it up too. It seems even larger than the photos of the ones I've seen i habitat. Makes me wonder if they ever live as long as that one in nature, given the fire frequency of the Cape vegetation. Thanks for sharing that photo!

Nice seedlings! I'm about to try this for the first time myself, but with R. dentata seeds. I just need to decide how to treat them.

It's very impressive, I need to get a Roridula myself too! I need one!
