Default Re: Drosera suitable for tropical climates

On the dormancy issue, I'm from Singapore and grow my Drosera without dormancy treatment. These two species will go dormant if they feel like it, but will happily grow without too much fuss: D. binata, D. filiformis. They are quite robust and usually don't rot or die even if I don't lower the water level or reduce light during their dormancy period. On that note, D. capensis can also go dormant, but I've only had this ever occur once for me.

As for D. burmannii, its quite a weedy plant: for me it spreads and propagates itself without me having to do anything except when it starts growing where I don't want it to. The plants usually last for at least a few rounds of flowering before they die(if they die at all).

D. adelae refuses to grow for me though. No idea why.
