Drosera prolifera Needs More Light—Move to Cape Sundew Window

Drosera prolifera Needs More Light—Move to Cape Sundew Window

Pale, dewless D. prolifera in NW window? Move to south window with cape sundew. Indoors, glass blocks 80% UV—rarely "too much" sun.

Why

D. prolifera grows in open forests (bright), not deep shade.
Summer heat? Use other plants as light filter.
Cape sundew thriving proves light is good.

New shoots = alive. Just needs more photons.
