Spoon leaf sundew babies are dying off!

16 years ago

I got them off E-bay they came in last week. Never got any dew, and look even worse! I've been growing CP for 5 yrs mow. It has enough light and all but was sent in a teeny tiny pot. I', waiting patiently for the potting soil to come in from cobra plant. Could it be that it's in a pot too small or still stressed?

Give it more time to acclimate to it's new environment. It takes time.

It's really hard to diagnose, even by looking at them. It could be an acclimation or water or soil or worms or any combination of variables. Give it time. If worse comes to worst, I'm sure we can help ya out - mainly Tommy, who does better than any of us with this species.
