Question
lance leaf sundew
Hi allexperts,
I have a lance sundew that looks like it is dying. I have it under some artificial lights for 12 hours a day. I did have it in a terriaum. After I read how bad that was I have begun to ease it from there death box. I have attach a photo of the plant. Is anything I can do to save it.
Sincerely,
Weylin Callery
AnswerHi Weylin,
Your plant as a whole isn't dying per se. What's happening is that one of the shoots is simply dying back. This sometimes happens when there is a sudden change in the environment. The other shoot looks perfectly healthy with green dewy leaves. I also see another shoot coming up. So your plant is doing fine. Cut off the dying shoot near the soil line and remove all dead material. Within a few months, the plant will fill the pot with new shoots.
Good growing!
