Wow, nice plants everyone ;) I was doing some thinking and I would like to ask, could you grow woolly sundews in the same enviroment as say, a lowland nepenthes? I think the temperature requirements match up pretty well, but I believe that the woolly sundews might like it dryer than the nepenthes do in the winter. Could this be a problem? Thanks.

Honestly I don’t see a need for their dormancy, it’s more of a survival lastditch effort instead of a necessity. Think of pygmies
I would say go for it. Hot and humid is what they love

So pygmy sundews would be good with lowland Nepenthes? Or was "thinking of pygmies" meant as "they would do better rather than woolly sundews"?

Pygmy sundews go into dormancy in the summer mostly as a survival effort — not because they need to. Wooly sundews are similar in that their dormancy is a survival effort, not a requirement.

I grow all my petiolaris dews in ambient humidity (40-60)
Seems like the biggest factor is heat, they really need that

I use a seed starting mat, maybe try a new one?

That's good to know. But I was thinking of a growing environment where I could grow both Lowland Nepenthes and Petiolaris sundews, so I would need the humidity for the Nepenthes.

They would love it, I was just saying they like, but don't need humdity as much as heat
