Default Re: D. Capensis needs help!

Cheng, show us your alleged d.intermedia & we`ll confirm it for you. LOL.

Just to share, my sundews are stacked on a multi tier rack ( tier 2 & 3 from a 4-tier rack ) & protected from direct rain by layering a see-thru plastic on the tiers above it. VFTs are their close-by neighbours.

Sun is frm angled sunlite rcvd from about 9-11 +a.m.

Right on top of the rack are my sarracenias which are housed in planter boxes. They are the true sun-worshippers & assist to break the raindrops from hitting my more fragile sundews.

Some of us sundews growers are of the opinion that sundews in their original environment do not experience rains like in M`sia ie not so often & not so heavy. So their dew production is somewhat affected & this would "irritate" the plant in our climate. Every time it rains, their dew is washed off & they have to reproduce it.

I know of peeps who grow their sundews quite happily in the open so well, it`s up to the grower *smile* IMHO, sundews grow best protected from our heavy rains + a`noon sun.
