Drosera anglica Leaves Turning Black in Colorado: Heat Stress or Shock?

Grower received D. anglica last week, half leaves black/dead. South window, water tray, Colorado, humidifier. Shock from shipping?

Environment Change + Heat Sensitivity

Sudden changes affect all plants. This tropical D. anglica likes mild temps (80°F max day, 40–50°F night). Lots of sun but no overheating. You didn't specify sun intensity—protect from scorching sun in heat. Dappled/filtered light best in hot weather.

Humidity not critical—we grow them low to ease transition. Reduce light, keep soil moist (low-mineral water). Give 2 weeks. If no improvement, send photo + specifics (sun, temp, water TDS).

Good growing!
