Sign of dormancy? When the above ground plant material dries up? Just keep it dry right?

They should start turning black once they have flowered. Once they start dying back allow the pot to dry completely. More tuber are lost through rot than anything else.

Thank you for your kind advise, Donny.

Casey, for the record. I planted the tubers in peat + sand mix (don't ask me proportion). I placed the tubers in with a light blanket of mix covering it. Garnished the pot with some pure peat moss to shield from the intense sun I get at my place. Sits in water tray which sometimes dries up when I forget I have plants growing outside.

Thanx for tips...

Tubers drosera is a bit difficult plants... Looking forward to try it again.

Here's some photo update. I took only photos of two plants (1 is new forming a rossette) as there aren't much changes in the others. Background is a Malaysian 50sens coin = Australian 20 cents size, about 27cm diameter. Was a very windy night, so you'll notice the sticky stuff being blown from tentacle to tentacle forming kinda web.

That is nice...

Re: Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

27cm??? No wonder my wallet seem to be so heavy*biggrin2*:laugh:

Re: Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

Heavy from pocket full of glittering coins? Gold coins?

Re: Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

No, you mention that a aussie 20c piece is 27cm wide.:laugh:

Re: Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

I know, Donny. You mentioned your pockets heavy with Aussie coins, I would presume they are the gold 1 and 2 dollar ones.

Re: Drosera menziesii in the tropics
 

I wish I had lots of gold coins. I think I just put my foot in my mouth.
