Waterlogged Drosera adelae: Correcting "Bog in a Pot" Conditions

True waterlogged habitats have moss mats providing drainage/aeration. In pots, standing water at surface suffocates roots.

Fix

• Use 4–6" pots in tray with 1–1.5" water.
• Moss stays moist but not submerged.
• Roots grow deep seeking moisture.

Recovery

Correct watering and wait. If roots aren't dead, plant regenerates. Repot in fresh mix to introduce air. D. adelae lives ~2 years, then dies back, producing clones from roots. Adults may revive after root pruning.

Don't Panic

Clones become adults in 6 months. Focus on fixing the environment.
