They seem to stall out while flowering. I have multiple cape sundews flowering right now and they are either putting up new leaves very slowly or not doing it at all.

oh ok, just wondering since it looked like that the growth tip point was replaced with the flower, i only asked because my other sundew didn't do this and more leaves are still comming on time. thanks!

I have two of five Albino Capes putting up flower stalks right now. Those two are putting up new leaves, but at about 25% the rate of the other three. A split stalk is likely taking up more energy due to the 2 stalk growth points.
As long as it's not dying off, it should be OK once the stalk is done cooking the seeds.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

I just saw a flower stalk on my newly received capensis typical. I’m thinking of sowing the seeds in some of my Nepenthes pots or making a hanging basket of capensis.
