Repotting Drosera capensis: Timing, Pot Size, and Leaf Stickiness

A grower's D. capensis (purchased May 2015) has roots emerging from soil. Asks if repot now (pamphlet says 1–2 years), use 6-inch pot for future growth, and if repotting helps leaves sticking together.

Jeff Dallas: Plant looks great. Repot to 5–6 inch pot for larger specimen. Follow soil recipe (peat/perlite) or buy CP mix—potting soil kills. Leaf sticking is occasional and unrelated to pot size.

D. capensis blooms prolifically; larger pot catches volunteer seedlings from seed drop. Repotting annually maintains vigor and media freshness.
