Question
Allexperts,

I have a question about whether or not you can cut back a drosera Alicia, like you would a Lance leaf sundew?  Will the plant comeback if I would to cut the plant at the soil line?  How long will the plant comeback after I cut the plant at the soil line?  Thank you for your time. I hope you have a great New Years.

Sincerely,

Weylin

Answer
Hi Weylin,

D. aliciae responds well to decapitation.  You should get several new shoots after doing that.  Be patient, however.  It could be a month before you see new growth.  Be sure to keep the crown of the plant in bright light to encourage shoot development.

Good Growing!
