Drosera capensis Black Tips: Low Light and Excess Humidity Fix

A grower’s tiny D. capensis had black tips on even the tiniest new leaves (upside-down J shape). Photo showed poor detail.

Jeff Dallas: Plant arrived in very low light and excess humidity. Cut off all leaves except the central crown. Place under proper light (daylight CFL best). Two weeks should show major improvement. Photo tip: back up for clarity, use max resolution—computer zoom works better than blurry close-ups.
