Yup, agree with TS. VFTs and cactus (light loving plants) also tends to grow with such behavior when they dont receive enough light..

Your capensis, how do you keep it? You moved it into full sun? How were you keeping it before? Should always be in full sun. Mine are doing fine, means it's not our climate. Haha you can grow filis and binatas (Which I want zomg XD ) but the beginner plant capensis you can't grow. So weird hahaha.

Zak : I just got it from Wilson 3 weeks ago....I put it in semi shade before this & that`s when the flower stalk turned black & fell apart. Yeah, mebbe it`s sun deprived. It`s in full sun now, looks like it`s recovering as I finally see dew on its leaves. I never had much luck with d.capensis....

Isaac,
Regarding that 'tall' burmanii, it's actually elongated. Lack of sunlight.

My capensis grow happily under direct sun light. The only disadvantage is the rain water will wash away the dews.

TS: yah ? ok noted.....but like my d.spatulatha, it recovers very quickly from rains. In fact during the rainy season, it seems to grow even faster, provided there`s time on between to `re-charge` its dews & catch insects.
I guess it should be the same for the d.capensis....Is yours a bush or just single plants ? I am dreaming that one fine day, I will have d.capensis clumps & also d. binata clumps, similiar to what I have for the d.spatulatha...

Capensis clumps would be easy. Just let it flower and dont do anything. You'll get clumps in every pot around it XD I grow my sundews under a plastic sheet in a cage. I'm afraid cats would eat another plant so I keep them all in a cage or on top of the cage. The cats can't get on top.

Mine used to be in clump, but after it flowered, suddenly all wilted and die, luckily still managed to get one survived. Now I have only one left. But recently I have successfully propagated two ****es, hehe.

TS : mine was in the midst of flowering when it dried up......is the flowering process so energy zapping ? do we need to cut off the flower stalk like in VFT ? mmmm....
Zak : is yours in clump form yet ? do share a photo if it is. Hey, with your `new` digicam, I would have expected more photos. *wink* btw, wats `XD` ? « Last Edit: Jun 26, 2007, 8:23am by tarence »Link to Post - Back to Top Logged cactustts

I think the smaller rounder droseras are ok after flowering...my d.spatulatha flowers for months without any size or health loss. They die after that but it does take a few months. My d.burmanii is also flowering, all 3 of them. I`ll let them flower though, doubt it`ll kill them.

Hi Terence. Are you sure they wont die after flowering? They are not stable yet after repot, all the new traps have no dews, but it still growing.

Hi bifurcatum, if you are worry, just snip them off. Flower stalk will grow back soon after they grow steady. My d burmanni always send out flower stalk even they are still very small right now, I just cut them away to allow the plants to grow stronger, I can always get seeds when I think they are big enough.

Or try with one plant first......rite now. all my 3 new d.burmanii are flowering & i`m letting them. I just cut off my d.binata flower though, coz Savage Garden said it own`t have seeds if it`s a single flower & it would stress the plant out. They didn`t say anything abt cutting off d.intermedia`s flowers though.

My 3 d.burmanii s are flowering at the moment. The flowers are tiny but cute, it`s too windy to take a good shot early in the morn`...you know what, when I tried again at 10:30 a.m., the flowers were already closed ! what laaa ! heheh, looks like it `open shop` for business only in limited hours. Here is the update pic of the plant...it`s grown quite a bit from the old post. I`m feeding them with a lot of mozzies to sustain their energy levels as they flower. Hopefully it`ll help....

Haha no mine hasn't flowered yet. I got the plant wuite small a few months ago. But now It's tripled it's size but still small. The leaves are about 2 inches long. Full grown is 6 inches. Not sure when it'll flower. I'm too busy to take pics and stuff haha. So much work! I'm squeezing my time coming onto this forum already. Btw 'XD' is an emoticon face. X being the eyes D being the mouth. Hehe
