Hi guys. This is my forst sarra.
I usually played with droseras. But I got this baby exchanged with 7 clumps of d. intermedias.
The friend told me it might be dana's.
But IDK, its quite different from google.
I hope you can help me ID this little one.

And plz tell me should I put high level of water in the tray for this plant or low level is better.
Thaaaanks..
:)

Hi
A bit early to tell for definite, as the old pitchers are dying, but it could well be a 'Dana's delight'.
The water level is ok, but I would use an opaque pot if possible, although it shouldn't cause a problem this year.
Cheers
Steve

Another snap pictures.
I also thought dana is a little on the white side. Lolz.
And may I know why I better not put it in a clear cup?
Thanks again for the insights.
:) :)

Clear pots are not very good in direct sunlight, they heat the medium up quickly and can cook the roots, if they have a small capacity. It ceases to be a problem if you grow under lights.
