Hi everyone! Got this drosera spatulata back at the start of January and she’s not been doing great under my care. Was wondering if anybody might know what’s missing to get em back in good health? Care conditions: I’ve had it under a timed grow light for 12h everyday, initially around 4” away but move it 5.5” away in fear of burning the plant. Room humidity is consistently around 45%. Always refilled water tray until half with distilled water. I top watered last week because it seemed to have had humic acid build up (black crown and tips of leaves). It’s away from any heaters or air conditioners. Despite all this my mind is boggled as to what this seemingly easy plant needs

    I would put it in a terrarium or cloche. Water trays don’t actually do much to add humidity, right now it’s just blowing away from the plant. A dome keeps the humidity in.

    I’m not an expert but I can think of three possible causes. 1. If and when does this particular variation go dormant? It could just be dormancy. 2. Are the roots rotting? Even though these guys like a ton of water, the roots can still rot. 3. Has it eaten any bugs? Might be lacking nutrients to grow. Bonus: I’ve heard on here a lot that a lack of dew means not enough light, but the fact that it has turned red means it’s getting plenty of light, so that isn’t a likely cause.
