Drosera 'Alice' Needs Cool Nights; Nepenthes muluensis × lowii Requires Terrarium Humidity

Drosera 'Alice' (D. aliciae) Secret: Cool Nights

Native to South African coastal mountains, D. aliciae reduces dew in warm nights. Spoon-leaf sundew (D. spatulata) tolerates warmth—hence the discrepancy in your east window. Cool the night temps or accept less dew.

Post-Repot Recovery: 1 Month Minimum

All sundews look terrible for ~4 weeks after root disturbance. The mother plant may decline but will send runners. Be patient.

Nepenthes muluensis × lowii: The Terrarium Candidate

This hybrid demands:

• Cool nights
• High humidity (stable)
• Bright light

South Dakota's fluctuating humidity makes outdoor growing risky. An unheated terrarium with misters (5 min/2 hrs) or a humidified grow tent works best. It's naturally slow and compact—don't expect large size.
