It sounds like it also has additional hybrid vigor (having leaves larger than you D. schizandra). That sounds great.<br /><br />I wish I had particular instructions w/r/t D. affinis – I received it in a trade back in August and it has just received my standard conditions (very very bright artificial light, peat:sand mix, distilled water in a communal tray that goes dry every now and again). I haven't even fed it that much. My temperatures are fairly mild – between 50 and 90 F. I guess it likes things this way!Drosera capensishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441317324430239228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928517536041546102.post-51228172097123070352015-03-02T04:11:10.747-08:002015-03-02T04:11:10.747-08:00One thing I've noticed about D.

Mine has leaves that currently dwarf my D. schizandra (although that gets too much light as is). <br /><br />Glad to see you have D. affinis in cultivation. It's somewhat rare, but looks like a neat plant. Any tips or tricks on it?Natch Greyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904440539293569191noreply@blogger.com
