Question
no dew sundew
i got my Drosera Adelae at lowes and it was in a terraium. i was placed in a low light place, so when i brought it home i took it out of the terraium and put it under my desk lamp. the soil it is in is just pure peat moss. but it started to lose its dew. i live in elgin, ill. will the dew come back?
AnswerHi John,
Thank-you for sending the photo. That always helps. Unfortunately, once a Drosera adelae looses its dew, it doesn't come back. The same thing happens when you let them get just a little bit too dry, so make sure the pot is always sitting in some water. This plant looks fairly good, however, so once it grows new leaves they will be dewy. Just clip off any leaves that start to brown.
Good Growing!
