Vacation Care for Drosera: Water Management and Pot Size Limits

Sterling in Oregon plans a 2+ week vacation with Drosera adelae and multifida in east-facing window (4-6 hours morning sun). Jacob Farin suggests two water-management options: large water tray/teflon pan, or disposable containers with lids (hole for pot, lid reduces evaporation). Slightly higher water level is acceptable; aerate soil upon return.

On pot size restriction: both species tolerate small pots for ~1 year. Eventually D. adelae becomes bushy with dead leaves; D. multifida develops long draping leaves. Transplant when unmanageable.

Good Growing!
