Water Tray Maintenance and Fall Open House Dates

Question: I've had your "Tropical Mix" for two months; the sundews are thriving. How often should I change the 2 inches of water they sit in? Is it like an aquarium needing frequent changes, or should I leave it alone? Also, what's the date for your fall open house?

Answer

Hi Richard,

There's no hard rule—it's more aesthetic than a plant health issue. Algae builds up over time and looks unsightly. When you can't stand it anymore, give the trays a good rinse.

The next open house is September 13th and 14th. Register at www.cobraplant.com/openhouse.

Good Growing!
