Floppy King Sundew Leaves: Need More Direct Sun

A Drosera 'King Sundew' in a west window had good dew but floppy, non-erect leaves. Grower fed regularly.

Cause: Insufficient Light Intensity for Turgidity

This mountainous species needs very bright, cool conditions. West window provides enough light for dew, but not for stiff, upright leaves.

Fix

• Move to a south window for more direct sun.
• If impossible, accept floppy leaves in winter—it's a cultivation compromise.
• Leaves will stiffen in higher light.

Dew production ≠ optimal light for structure.
