A Drosera venusta 'Tsitsikamma' slowed growth while producing a second flower stalk, with no new leaf visible in the crown. The grower wondered if it was dying or just pausing for flowering.
Jeff Dallas noted that his form of D. venusta slows during bloom but resumes afterward. The bigger factor is temperature: this species thrives in cool conditions (60s°F) and sulks in heat. Best growth occurs in winter. If the plant appears to be declining, both leaf and root cuttings strike easily—root cuttings are most reliable. It also sets viable seed readily.
