Drosera anglica 'Mikinalo Kanaele' Formed a Hibernaculum in Summer

Grower's D. anglica 'Mikinalo Kanaele' (bought May 4) in sunny south window with grow lamp, distilled water tray—leaves turning black, no dew.

It's Not Dying—It's Dormant

Your plant formed a hibernaculum (resting bud). This tropical form of temperate D. anglica typically does this in winter, but summer dormancy can trigger during dry spells. Our mild summers never induce it—your climate shift likely triggered it.

Don't discard it. Move to an east window (morning sun only), shelter from hot afternoon sun. In a couple months it'll emerge. We've credited you the plant price in points.

Good growing!
