What's going on with my Drosera Burmannii
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2017 5:59 pm
My D. burmannii has been looking like this for around a week, and I've been wondering what's going on. So I can fix it and make it happy again.

You put a sandwich bag over the pot, and remove it for a few minutes each day until the plant starts growing again. When it starts growing again you cut small one inch corners off the bag about once a week.

This can be used to acclimate plants to new growing conditions as well.

I use the big 1020 style vented domes for germination. Just for one pot though a sandwich bag and a rubber band work pretty well, not to mention cheap and readily available.

My burmanniis lurves high level of water. In a week, new leaf with dews emerges. Put an ant or two. Same thing next week when new leaf appeared.
In a month, it jumps back to normal.
No humidity domes.

Thats my burmanniis tho.
I hope yours can recover nicely.
