So I got this sundew about a week ago online. The next day it was floppy and saggy. So I asked people on the forum for help and they said the put a ziplock bag over it and poke a hole in it each day which I did but now it looks worse it’s not sprouting any new growth what should i do?

Did you contact the seller for advice? I am more a regular houseplant person, I don't know as much about Drosera. If it were a houseplant I would have a look at the roots, but I don't know if the root system of this cultivar is delicate.

I think that leaf is a goner so I wouldn't bother with the plastic bag. I'd contact the seller and see if you can expect the plant to sprout new leaves.

What a bummer! It's a gorgeous sundew.

Andromeda, schizandra, prolifera, and adelae are difficult plants to ship bare-root. When I got my Andromeda it looked like yours so I bagged it and a few weeks later it was growing new leaves. I would try to use that last remaining leaf as a cutting by floating it in water.
