Perhaps it could be the heat wave that we have been experiencing in Malaysia.

Would be great if you can tell us more about yoru daily routine with yoru spat, where it si placed or whether there is changes to it's cultivation environment. Let us know if you changed the water source that you are using to owater your spat, etc.

I think its the weather. Spatulata are easy plants. I let mine dried up twice and submerged in water once and it still survives.

The D.Adalae I got from cbkhoon also dried up(old leaves) when I got it.The new leaves have dews,though.I think they are red because of the glands that produce dew.Old leaf no red no dew;New leaf got red got dew.

Hi C Way,
I've also experienced this 'dryness' with my Droseras. It seems that the past few days the weather is breezeless and cloudy. The dews are not forming well at all, except for paradoxa and intermedia cuba.

thanks to your respond, I place it in my garden, on top of a styrofoam box with aquatic plant in it, watering with same water source, have place there for about 3 to 4 months since I get it together with another ping, so far no problem with it, but it just gone abnormal lately
