Rescuing Leggy Drosera adelae from Lowe's: Hard Pruning and Pot Upgrade

Immediate Hard Prune

Cut to soil level. Weak "tree-like" growth = desperate light-seeking. Plants in good light never do this.

Monster Plant Strategy

Repot to larger pots; hard prune every 12–18 months. My 6" pot specimen—pruned repeatedly—now obscures the pot.

Follow-Up: New Growth Losing Dew

If spoon-leaf sundews in same pot are dewy, light is good. Possibilities: D. adelae prefers slightly shadier; or aphids in crown fuzz (loss of mucilage = early sign). Inspect crowns; spray if found.
