I reduced the watering by removing it from the water tray and then aimed at keeping the sphag top dressing just moist for a month or so, returning it to the water tray when active growth was again noted. The old leaves wither but the center stays good, and eventually begins cranking out new leaves. I have lost plants of D. aliciae, D. venusta/coccicaulis, D. slackii by keeping them overwet after flowering. Feed the traps regularly now while they are still active, it takes a lot to put up that thick stalk! D. aliciae does not flower as regularly as many other Drosera species, and I would love to see some photos of the flowering scape, esp. of the buds just before opening. Congratulations on your mutual successes!
