Salut tout le monde, En ce jour de Saint Valentin, j'ai eu le plaisir de voir la floraison des fleurs de Genlisea africana. Je pense que c'est le premier de ses photos de fleurs dans la culture. J'espère que vous apprécierez.

I will post more pictures tomorrow. This genlisea grow in 70% peat and 30% sand. I keep a high level of water. Most of the time the water is for the same height as the substratum and regularly I let the water rise 1cm above. I've always a pump which brew the water (1000L/h). The temperatures are between 17°C(night) and 25°C(day). I use turbo neon for the light (2x55W). It's a very easy plant which grow very well.

 

Regards,

Anthony.

Really nice!

What is the watertemperature? Did you have an heater? Can you also show up your complete setup?

 

Best regards, Benni

Hi,

 

I haven't heater. The turbo neon (2x55W) are enought for warming the terrarium. I don't know the watertemperature, probably the same temperature of the air but a temperature fresher would be better.

 

Bere you can see the side of Genlisea

 

 

Here you can see the side of Utricularia

 

 

 

Here you can see a global view.

 

 

 

My terrarium does 1.5m of lenght, 0.5m of width and 0.7m of height.

 

But it's little the mess ^^
