Reviving Giant Staghorn Sundew After Fungal Treatment

Helping Drosera dichotoma 'Giant Staghorn' Recover from Root Rot

After treating a fungal infection (white dots on the crown) with Daconil, a grower asked whether their D. dichotoma 'Giant Staghorn' sundew could regenerate from the roots and whether a humidity dome would speed recovery.

Best Approach: Leave It Alone

The plant already shows new growth. Disturbing it further with root cuttings or a humidity dome adds stress. If the main crown dies, the plant will naturally send up side shoots. With longer daylight hours approaching, growth should increase on its own. This species has a brief winter dormancy, so patience is key.

Good Growing!
