Question

Drosera ?   For once I am coming to you with a straightforwards question. Aren't you relieved, haha.

Anyways, I merely wish to know which species of Drosera Spathulata, if it is indeed that, and if it is temperate, sub-tropical, or tropical. I'm pretty sure it's temperate, but I could be mistaken. It also has the flowers of two of them in the photo, albeit they are blurry. (My camera is against high quality pictures for some reason...)

Oh, and I recently tore them apart from one another as I discovered they were 4 different plants. From this photo, can you tell if they aren't doing well or if they just look haphazard from when I separated each individual plant. They just look super wilted and haven't produced any new dew since I took them apart. Perhaps they are just in shock and will get back to normal soon hopefully?

Thanks!

Answer
Hi Devon,

If you got this at Lowe's it's the tropical Australian form.  All of the mass produced ones come from Agristarts III in Florida.  It's that form.  Otherwise there would be no way to tell from just looking at it, especially since it's been in such low light.

Once you get these into bright conditions they will improve rapidly.  You're going to loose the older leaves, but that is just part of the process of recovery.  Just cut those off.

Good Growing!
