Drosera all red ? :(


Question
Hello Sarracenia

Well...I buy a drosera all red and yes! It was red when it gets to me but now is all green :( I give her like a 6 hours daylight but still green and getting worst . How do I do to pop the red out ?

Thanks guys

Answer
Hi Gabriel,

The green color is a dead giveaway that your plant isn't getting enough light.  Most sundews are full sun plants.  When I say full sun, I mean the kind of sun you would need for a vegetable garden.  If they are in a window, they need at least 4-5 hours direct sun.  They also do well under fluorescent lights, but they need to be close.  Your sundew would probably do well outdoors in your area too.

Good Growing!
