Hey all,

So I have a spatulata that's been on my windowsill since March-ish. It had plenty of light, was always dewy and constantly caught bugs. It even started sending up flower stalks. I figured I'd get some seeds since they were coming in. But over the past couple of weeks I've noticed less dew and LOTS of browning. I cut back some of the stalks because I know they take a lot of energy to grow. That's my question really. Is it just those half-dozen stalks or maybe something else? The medium looks rough, but it's just sphagnum peat and perlite topped with lfs. I live in Virginia but since they've been indoors I don't know if that matters.

Thanks in advance for thoughts...and putting my mind at ease.

I think it’s just the flower stalks. Many sundews flower themselves to death.
