So two of my sundew is currently flowering right now. Should I cut the stalk or leave it flowering.
This one is pretty healthy

This one I’ve noticed the older leafs are dying off

If I can keep them,should I feed to keep them healthy?

As long as you keep feeding the plants pretty heavily, it won’t harm them.

I love sundews.

If you don't want seeds cut them at any time. If you want seeds wait until they turn brown/black.

I had a very healthy sundew that went into pretty rapid decline when I left the flower stalks to bloom...
I realize this post is a couple weeks old, so I'm wondering what you decided/how things went for you? I'd like to get seeds out of mine at some point, but I've been too afraid to let it bloom again.
