Hi everyone

My drosera intermedia woke up from dormancy from 8 March.

But only branch plants woke up, not the main one.

As you can see the pic, middle one is still not moving at all.

Is it normal that main plants wakes up much later than branch plants?

For a lot of plants it's normal for them to expend energy into producing divisions as another way to propagate. Many times this either doesn't leave enough energy for the mother plant to come back after dormancy, or it continues to pump that energy into the divisions to spread them out.

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

You're lucky it came out of dormancy at all, about 90% of mine just rot. Good thing they're so weedy.

oh than it is possible for the plants to wake up if they finish to give their energy to side plants ! Thanks!
