Add on to the last D. Prolifera question


Question
Ok, so I live in NY,NY and my Prolifera gets around 3 hours of direct light and then an hour or so of light that reflects from the building across the street in a NE window. The temperature is around the high 70 during the day and goes down to the low 70s to high 60s during the night. Does this sound right? for this partial sun loving sundew? I ordered it along with D. anglica and D. fifimoris and the D. prolifera was the only one with dew on it. Is it because the D. Prolifera is tropical?

Thanks for the beautiful plants! LUca

Answer
Hi Luca,

As long as your plant has lots of dew on it, it's happy where it is.  The other plants, D. anglica and D. filiformis, like a lot more sunlight than D. prolifera.  Grow them outside in full sun instead. They need the extra sunlight to produce their dew.

Good growing!
