cutting dead leaves


Question
when should i cut off the dead leaves on my forkleaf sundew when the upper part turns black or after the steam turns black as for my spoon leaf its so packed i cant tell were dead parts are u did not give details on this in the dvd vol 2 or the ebook thanks

Answer
Hi Xavier,

It doesn't really matter too much.  Fork-leaf sundews tend to have their leaaves die slowly, so like Nepenthes, they look bad for awhile while they depart.  Cut them off anytime.  D. binata complex tend to be such good growers they will continue to put out new leaves.

Good Growing!
