I live in Zone 5B, once the weather warms up a bit more would you folks move Brazilian sundews outdoors? My Graomogolensis went through a quick growth spurt and divided into three plants. Its underbrush started developing copious amounts of mold over the last few days. When I attempted to repot and divide, only one plant kept the tap root.

Take a leaf cutting or two and see if you can start some backup plants. I would expect it would be fine outside. Almost all my dews summer out on my balcony and seem to really appreciate it.

Thanks, they’ll be dining alfresco this Spring.

So far I have two generations of plants from the mother totalling about 16 at various stages of development.
