Limestone Gravel on Drosera spatulata: Remove What You Can, Flood the Rest

Immediate Action

  1. Remove visible grains with forceps — tedious but effective.
  2. Flood with distilled water to wash away finer particles.

Risk Level

Low. Limestone raises pH locally, but a one-time spill on established plants in pure water trays won't cause lasting harm. The peat buffer resists pH shift.

Monitor

Watch for any unusual leaf deformation or dew loss over the next week. Unlikely, but possible if a lot reached the crown.
