Gemmae season 2024 is here!
Description
- Drosera Grievei - 10 Fresh gemmae
Our Seeds
- Gemmae are modified leaves only found on pygmy drosera and are generally only available during the autumn and winter months
- These modified leaves act as a live seed or tiny seedling and usually germinates much quicker than ordinary carnivorous plant seeds
- Fresh gemmae are packed in between wet paper towels to stay moist during shipping
- As with our other seed orders gemmae are shipped in a padded envelope for protection
Sowing Guide
- Sow gemmae as soon as it arrives as they do not store well
- Spread gemmae on fresh carnivorous plant soil or pre-moistened long fiber sphagnum moss and use a fine mist spray with clean water to ensure proper contact with the soil
- Choose gemmae placement carefully as pygmy drosera have very fragile roots and are not fond of root disturbance and repotting
- Fill a tray with approximately 0.5-1 cm reverse osmosis- or distilled water to keep the soil moist, and grow in a protected area with a couple of hours morning sun or bright artificial light
- Pygmy drosera gemmae usually germinates within 2-4 weeks if conditions are favourable
- Follow the guidelines in our general sowing instructions if you are new to carnivorous plants from seed

Disclaimer
- Just a quick heads-up: Since plants are natural products, you might notice some slight variations when unboxing your plants
- We do our best to make sure the plants you receive look like the ones in the photos, but keep in mind that seasons change and plants grow. Some leaves might age and die off, new ones might sprout and the plants may look a bit different over time
- 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. The labels are spot on, so even if the plant looks a bit different, we 100% guarantee it's the real deal
- Also, all the photos you see are of our own plants unless we mention otherwise. We update images occasionally to keep things fresh. If you want to see updated pictures before you buy, just let us know – we're happy to help!
