Restoring Dew Production in Drosera Adelae: Light and Moisture Solutions

Drosera adelae periodically enters rest phases with reduced dew, slower growth, and smaller appearance—often at any season. Repotting or cutting the entire top off stimulates fresh multi-plant regrowth from roots (unless plant is diseased).

Key Requirements

Light: Lower-light sundew, but needs strong fluorescent or south window light. Red tentacles on new growth indicate good light; white/clear tentacles signal insufficient light. Dewless plants often simply need more light.
