Giant Staghorn Sundew "Dying" in Portland: Normal Leaf Cycling

Giant Staghorn and Spoon-Leaf sundews 2 weeks old. Staghorn tips black, curling, no dew. South/east windows, Portland Bull Run water (seller said adequate), original peat. Portland, OR.

Expert Answer: Not Dying, Just Cycling

Jeff Dallas: leaf tips dying back is normal cycling. New growth from crown. Skirt of dead leaves typical. Plants likely not at best due to cloudy weather—sunny stretch will perk them up. Move closer to window; these need full sun. Often grown outdoors in summer with 8 hrs direct sun.

Good Growing!
