The tuberous drosera are seasonal growers with a rest during a dry period in summer and a growth period during the rainy winter. And most species indeed need such conditions for long term survival. In other words, if you can offer sufficient light levels and preferably cool conditions during the winter months, you can give it a try. The dry summer rest is probably the easiest part of their culture, and I actually tend to like this habit as it makes the summer vacation much easier.

The graphic below shows the average temperature and rainfall for Perth to put some figures on my rough descrption above. All plants growing in that region need to adapt somehow to this conditions and this group of Drosera has done so by growing during the wet (winter) season and by forming dormant tubers for the dry summer. Other typical ways of adaption are seasonal growth - like D. glanduligera - or a dormancy forming a stipule bud - like many pygmy Drosera.

The species I started with was Drosera auriculata which I bought as a single seedling through an online auction.
That plant found its place in a tank with constant light period throughout the year and temperatures around 20-25 °C - conditions far from being ideal for the general culture of tuberous drosera. Nevertheless, the plant developed well although it did not follow its normal growth cycle. A tuber never was produced - a new plant appeared instead once the previous died back. Seeds were never set either, most likely due to the high humidity in the tank. After 2 years I stopped that experiment and finally gave that plant conditions which were better reflecting the conditions it is exposed to in nature. Since then it regularly goes dormant in spring as one would expect. However, please note that there may be more one way to grow a plant successfully. Having stated that, I would also like to point out that D. auriculata is among those few very forgiving species and many other species listed may not survive such conditions.

Apparently, at least this Drosera auriculata (which I still grow) can survive without the dry resting period under certain conditions and the same is true for Drosera peltata and Drosera hookeri. There may be other species behaving similarly, but at least those are the ones I grew successfully using a short, constant light and cool conditions throughout the year on some shelf in my basement.

Which would be good beginner species?
