IN THE GREENHOUSE
ALDROVANDA Plants are still dormant if grown outside. Aldrovanda survives the Winter chills by producing a turion, which either floats on the water surface or sinks to the bottom of the pond. Keep an eye on them so they don't get washed away or eaten by birds and animals.
BROCCHINIA / CATOPSIS Maintain high light levels and humidity. Apply light foliar fertilisation (Avoid fertilisers high in Urea). Potted plants will produce more pups which may be divided when semi-mature.
BYBLIS Byblis gigantea and lamellata are in active growth. Seeds may be sown after treatment with smoke or GA3. Germination is usually 2-3 weeks. Keep the soil moist. The northern species of Byblis should have ended their life cycle. Keep the seed in a warm and dry place in preparation of the coming Spring.
CEPHALOTUS Keep the soil moist but well-drained. Avoid fungal problems by keeping good air movement around the plants. Non-carnivorous Winter leaves should be produced now. Pitchers also colour up nicely with the cooler nights.
DARLINGTONIA Darlingtonia is now dormant. Keep moist and cold as long as possible to ensure a full dormancy is achieved. Sow seed onto moist Sphagnum moss and expose to the cold nights to aid stratification of the seed.
DIONAEA All VFTs will now be dormant. Sow seed onto your preferred medium and expose to the cold to aid stratification of the seed. Seed will germinate in Spring.
DROSERA Tuberous Drosera are now in active growth. Keep the pots moist. Add small wire trainers for the stem forming species.
Pygmy Drosera will begin to produce carnivorous leaves. Keep plants moist to wet in full sun.
Other Winter growing species such as D. ramentacea, cistiflora and pauciflora will be in full growth and flower. Keep the pots moist to wet. Leaf cuttings of D. pauciflora may be taken now.
Tropical and sub-tropical species need to be kept warm to keep them alive. Species such as D. burmannii will begin to die. Harvest the seed and sow in Spring.
Petiolaris-complex species may need artificial heating to keep them alive. Aim for a minimum temperature of 25°C. Keep the pots moist to stop the plants entering dormancy.
Temperate Drosera such as D. filiformis, intermedia and rotundifolia may resume growth from their Winter dormancy. Increase sunlight and water.
DROSOPHYLLUM Drosophyllum is in active growth and may be kept wetter during the cooler months. Seed may be sown onto moist compost after treatment with boiling water for 10 seconds. Germination may be from 2-8 weeks. Feed with insects to boost growth.
GENLISEA Genlisea should be in flower and active growth. Keep the water levels high with these species. Leaf and trap production will improve when the water level is at soil level. Artificial heating may be required. Avoid exposure to frosts and ideally keep plants above 10°C.
HELIAMPHORA Keep plants in a bright but cool location. Mist regularly to help keep the pots cool. Light levels may be increased with the cooler nights.
NEPENTHES Winter sees a dramatic drop in the growth rates and pitcher production of Nepenthes. Keep the lowland species above 15°C at night and as warm as possible during the day. Highland species enjoy cooler nights and will continue to grow. Keep highland plants above 5°C at night and between 20-25°C during the day.
PINGUICULA Mexican species/hybrids are entering dormancy and often flower during this stage. Pollinate the flowers to obtain seed. Most species produce smaller fleshier leaves (heterophyllous). Some species such as P. gigantea will produce smaller typical leaves (homophyllous). Keep humidity high but the soil drier. Leaf cuttings may be taken by pulling the older leaves from the mother plant. Ensure you get all of the leaf including the white parts close to the roots.
Warm-temperate and temperate species such as P. primuliflora and P. lusitanica will continue to grow. Keep the water up to P. primuliflora and take leaf cuttings.
RORIDULA Roridula growth rates increase with the cooler nights. Seed may be harvested now. Sow onto moist peat/sand. Germination may take 3-8 weeks. Keep the soil moist and ensure good air circulation.
SARRACENIA Sarracenia may start to end their dormancy in warmer climates. Ensure you remove all of the dead, and dying pitchers and phyllodes. Increase plants exposure to the sun and watch for caterpillar, scale and mealy bug attack. Germination of seed will occur in warmer weather.
UTRICULARIA Most terrestrial Utricularia will be in active growth and flower. Keep moist to wet. Flowering will resume in Spring.
Aquatic Utricularia will slow in growth and may be dormant. Keep an eye out for U. australis turions floating on the water’s surface.
Winter growing species, such as U. multifida and menziesii will be in active growth.
Tropical Utricularia - Maintain higher temperatures, humidity and air movement. Keep soils moist.
