Helping a Struggling Drosera intermedia 'Cuba' Recover

Caleb received D. intermedia 'Cuba' in poor condition—no dew, traps pressed to soil, browning. Has windowsill, terrarium, outdoor mid-70s temps.

Jacob Farin: Tropical intermedia naturally drapes leaves to soil as they mature (leaves last ~2 months). Dew needs sunlight—plant should be red if getting enough. Terrarium not needed; humidity ≠ dew. Move to very sunny windowsill (several hours direct sun). Watch Vol. 2 DVD for tropical sundew growing.

Good Growing!
