Are you thinking about harvesting fruits or veggies? Not this time, I was harvesting the seeds from my carnivorous plants! My small humble pot of sundews (Drosera burmanni & Drosera intermedia) produced lots of seed pods the last few weeks. There would be easily hundreds of seeds I have collected!
Specks of dust or seeds?
Do you wonder how sundew seeds look like? The seeds are literally the size of dust specks! And yes, dust specks! They are black in colour and so tiny that a sneeze from you will send the seeds flying all over the place and cannot be recovered.
Each seed pod can contain 50-80 seeds! Two week old seedlings
Carnivorous plants are generally slow growing plants. Their seeds can take 4-6 weeks to germinate and so small that you think these are green moss! Only after a week or so before they start growing dewy leaves. They will take around 6-9 months to grow big enough to flower.
