recently, I moved some plants from the window growing to a little hothouse. A part of the plants seems to be "happy" of this change but, my d.capensis and my d.dielsiana seems to had a nervous shock.. It is? The plants had no hair! You know what is the problem? Parasite? A simple nervous shock? Can you answer ?

I always try to change the environnement conditions gradually. Your Drosera should survive if youre not doing anything very wrong.

Usually more light & heat, lower humidity & soil moisture will stop the dew. I can make the dew disappear on my D. prolifera disappear by moving it to a sunnier spot and it comes right back if I move it to a shadier area.

Sounds good. I got so tired of my D. prolifera mediocre dew that I changed the medium from long-fibred sphagnum to 1:1 sand-peat and increased the ventilation. I'll see what happens.

Hey lloyd,
If you are switching to sand. Just what kind of sand are you going to use exactly?

The sand-peat never worked out. I finally switched to LFS in a small aquatic pot with slits in the side sitting in a little dish of distilled water. It's in my nep terrarium: warm, humid, filtered sunlight. It's finally doing well.
