D. filiformis (Florida Giant/tracyi) has white cotton-like material at crown where new growth emerges. Texture like cotton, intermingled hairs. Fungus? Plant otherwise healthy, dewy, catching bugs.
Jeff Dallas: this material is normal on D. filiformis crowns (especially Florida Giant and tracyi). Protects the crown. Also seen on D. graminifolia and pygmy sundews. If it were botrytis, plant would be dead.
Good Growing!
