Drosera scorpioides Winter Decline: Reduce Water, Increase Light

Grower's D. scorpioides in terrarium (11h fluorescent, 1" water tray) dying faster than growing; gemmae present. Same behavior outdoors in summer.

Fix

• Let tray dry completely before refilling; keep only ¼" water.
• Plants may be rotting.
• After gemmae, they return to normal leaves.
• Light: T12/T8 → 3" from tubes; T5 → 6–8". Needs strong light.
