Pygmy Drosera Gemmae
I have a small collection of Pygmy Drosera -- a few D. pulchella x nitidula, and a D. scorpioides, with plans on adding some more. They are growing pretty good now, even moved into my slightly-less-bright apartment window.
However, none of them are making Gemmae yet, and I'm getting a bit worried. I am noticing a lot of eBay auctions for Gemmae, so I'm presuming the time is right for them to start appearing, but, no such luck.
The window is Eastward facing, and the sun starts hitting them directly around 1-2 in the afternoon this time of year. I also have a desk lamp with a full spectrum bulb right on top of them for added light (and a bit of heat). Said light is not on a timer, and I usually get home about an hour after sundown.
I do not actually believe said light is enough to make a dent (I have been considering just getting rid of it), as I had a S. Purpurpea under it in what was otherwise darkness and it was not growing properly.
Is there a trick to getting Pygmys to start creating Gemmae? Should I be worried that it hasn't happened yet?
