Default Re: D. adelae calling for Help!

In my indoor growing conditions under artificial lights, I find D. adelae a very spoilt or a better word would be delicate plant. It does not do well in my grow chamber with the rest of the Drosera but it does well in an enclosed terrarium with high humidity and lower light levels. It makes sense since they grow in shaded conditions most of the time in the wild. That explains the higher humidity and lower light levels. Other species of Drosera grow in wet open areas where there is more air circulation and sunlight.


Follow the advise by strath76 and BA but once you've place it in an ideal location for it to acclimatise, leave it alone. Resist handling the pot or shifting it too often so that it can acclimatise properly. make sure the saucer under the pot is filled with water always.

Let us know how it goes yaa.
