Help with my #Sundew
Hey all of my #evilgenius lovers of #CarnivorousPlants β¦ I need help. I got this little sundew about three months ago, Iβve had really great luck with Venus fly traps, and it seems like the care was the same. So I made them a little bog habitat in an open terrarium with distilled water. He was blooming like crazy so in an effort to stop the energy going to the flowers, I cut the blooms stems off. But now it is slowly, looking like it is rotting, and I still donβt see any of the reddish drops of dew. Can you tell me what you think I should do differently? οΏΌunder a grow light, only distilled water. Have not reported (got him from #etsy #TheGreenEscape which is a shop I adore).
3ft to light, indirect
2β pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago

Thanks for the tag @sarahsalith!
I don't have any fly traps but I do have pings and I treat my sundews and pings the same.
Personally I keep them moist but not wet. They sit in trays that I fill probably everything 3-ish days. So usually they have one day or two without any water in the tray before I fill again.
I cut more of the flowers off my sundew for the same reason but it's putting out more so π€·π½
Mine started to have dew regularly once I started watering it enough, but it's been so humid here I'm definitely watering less frequently than I did last summer.
Maybe take it out of the dome, or let it dry a little between waterings?
Here is mine for reference.
