Question
I purchased a red leaf drosera capensis from you a while back, and I thought it'd be kind of cool to grow a store bought droseara capensis next to a properly raised CP...both seem to be doing great. i live in california and have them outside in the full sun in a liter box of distilled water. I went up to admire my cps and i noticed the store bought sundew has started to put up a flower stalk..im prob gona shoot way over or under..but i think ive had them for liek 2 months. Is this normal? If it is a symtopm of death cube syndrome how long will it take to cure?

Answer
Hi Matt,

As long as the plant is dewy and colorful it's doing fine.  Cape sundews bloom like crazy.  We see most of our flowers during the summer, but they can bloom anytime.  They also set seed very easily, so you can collect seed when the pods turn brown, and grow lots of new ones.


Good Growing!
