Hey all,
Something that's been bothering with all my sundews is that they seem to grow flower stems like mad, as expected from a sundew, but they never seem to actually "flower" and make seeds, if that makes sense.
I know they flower extremely quickly and you don't get to really see the flowers most of the time, but I feel like I give them plenty of time and I never get seeds!
My sundews always send up a flower stalk, the flower grows up towards my growlights, and then they kind of turn brown eventually. I'm not sure if the flowers bloomed when I wasn't looking, or if the flowers got burned up by my Yescom 225s.
I feed my drosera MaxSea from a drip bottle every week or so, and sometimes give them freeze dried bloodworms, so they are getting plenty of food.
You can see here with my spatulata what I'm talking about:
It's sending up a flower stalk:
Some of the flower buds still look "alive" near the top, but everything else is turning brown:
