I have this Drosera x eloisiana that was doing amazing when I first got it about 2 months ago. It was catching gnats and I've been using the tray method with the moss to keep it watered etc. Right now it seems to have all of this new growth but it's been like this for at least 2 weeks and hasn't shown any signs of growing any bigger. it gets plenty of sunlight and I water with distilled water. Is this something I should worry about?

Thanks for any tips.

Ah OK. I heard that they go dormant but it seemed early for that but maybe it isn't. I assume that it will be like this for a few months and to only water once in awhile?

Thanks.

Yep, it’s going dormant. Keep it dryer but still moist.

And the same amount of light too? Or less light. Right now it's in a window that gets a good deal of morning sun.
