I could look up which ones I bought but I put them all in one pot so it's sort of a "pot-pourri".

Hi WillyCKH - They are looking great! Your are doing really well with them. Nice job!
I missed your earlier update, but in response to your question about the D. graniticola, they don't put out a basal rosette like D. auriculata does. For the stem forming tuberous dews, only the peltata complex and close relatives create the characteristic basal rosette of leaves like you saw on your D. auriculata. Your D. graniticola isn't etiolated. It looks perfect. Like a tiny asparagus shoot. Just what you want to see!

Thanks, Apoplast, now I'm not worried I'm surprised to see them sprouting and growing in my room, which is about 20-24c in average. I thought they require cooler temperature? I do my best to keep them cool by putting them on the windowsill which has little bit of cool air flow, and slightly cooler than the heart of the room.

Hi WillyCKH - No worries. Regarding temperature, they start to grow in OZ in the autumn, so they can tolerate higher temps when they start. They'll appreciate cooler temps, especially at night, closer to December and January. If you get a good cool air current off your window it can work. I've accidentally frozen parts of plant sitting to close to my windows - but then I get a lot colder here in the States than you do where you are in Canada (that sounds weird to say out loud). Keep up the good work, and I look forward to updates of your success!
