Drosera adelae Decline in West Window: Decapitation, East Window, and Consistent Moisture

A Cleveland grower's 2011 D. adelae (repotted 2023) has brown leaves in west window, original pot, distilled water, sundew mix. Expert: west window = afternoon blast – D. adelae likes stable, shady conditions (boggy forest floor). Move to east window (morning sun) or south (consistent). Never let dry – loses mucilage permanently. Terracotta pots bad (wick moisture). Decapitate – cut at soil line, transplant first if changing pots. New shoots in 3–4 weeks. Consistent moisture critical.
