I read on various sites that Brazilian sundew seeds don’t readily germinate when self pollinated. I think several pots with this many seedlings is proving the opposite. I’ve included a pic of the parent plant.

Some Brazilian sundews such as D. latifolia and D. tomentosa readily self-pollinate in cultivation. Good luck getting D. graomogolensis to do the same thing. :lol:

I have had better luck with graomogolensis flower stalks propagating plants more so than seeds. Supposedly the seeds are only fertile when pollinated by a genetically different plant… or so they say 8)
