Drosera natalensis 2 month growth chartBelow, you can see a series of photos, which show how fast sundews can grow when fed. I received these D. natalensis 6 months ago. They were the same size as the top picture (refer to the photo series below) ever since I received them. I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't grow. As an experiment, I fed the right and left plants (refer to pic below again) and hoped that something would happen. A month later, I was amazed when I saw how many new leaves had been produced. I decided to document their growth in order to show the benefits of feeding in action. |
