D.spatulata leaf
 

My D.spatulata is growing shorter leaves now. What could this mean?
By the way, its been 4 days now after a rain washed all it dews off.

I've found that higher light levels and flowering will cause the leaves to grow smaller. Have you moved it to a brighter spot? Are the leaves a red or pink color? The rain is not a factor, I've completely submerged my spatulata when watering.

Is the plant under stress like not enought water?

All things constant, if my plant leaf grow smaller, I feed it.

The spot where my plant is brighter than the usual. the leaves are green.
Its still producing good dew and being able to capture lots of insect.

Well is it some sort of fungus attack???? Any signs of abnormal leaves or a sudden death of older traps?? There are some sundews which might not like the hit from the rain (but i might be mistaken for pings) Anyways just continue on keep it wet and give it a lot of sunlight

Kentosaurs-I think its not I fungus attack. All leaves are normal except for their length, the new leaves are shorter than the older ones beneath them.

Ill try to post a pic later

Thanks for everyone who replied.:smile:
