Question
I have a pot of drosera rotundifolia and intermedia that I grow outside in full sun. The plants were still pretty small, maybe a year or two old. I did not pay attention to my plants for a few days until today. My home in southern massachusetts had a lot of sunlight these past days. The sundews were all completely dried out and the soil had like no water at all. I quickly rehydrated the soil and put it under some shade. Will my plants recover?

Answer
Hello Victor,

If they dried out for several days they may well be too far gone. Only time will tell at this point. If some roots survived, they might grow some tiny plantlets from them, but that is only if they were not completely dry below the soil surface.

Do try to revive them, but do not get your hopes up too much. Once Sundews dry out completely, they are usually too far gone to revive.
