I have limited experience as well. My plant was in it's growing period when I got it. It may be that dormancy may be foregone, but on this I am unsure. I will see what I can learn and post it here. Warm even temperatures are best, constantly cool days will jepordize the plant. Cool nights are acceptable, but only with warm to hot days. The plants have no problems with temp. as high as 110F if the water and humidity requirements are met. Lower light is good to get the plant over transplant shock, but direct sun is optimal, just remember to acclimate to it in stages. I have mine in 50/50 pearlite/live moss: an airy mix is what to aim for. Do not stand in water, rather water around the rosette daily, preferably with warm water. I feel high humidity is best for this species, others disagree. So far my plant is thriving. Remember that the recommended requirements of full sun and heat are for established plants: most of the petiolaris suffer from transplant shock and need to be nursed slowly into active growth. Placing the newly potted plants in a ziplock bag until good growth is observed is a good idea for almost all Droserae: I have never lost a species using this method. Droserae culture demands patience and attention, especially so for the petiolaris complex. These are not good subjects for those unable or unwilling to spend time attending to them, but they are the most beautiful of all the Droserae, which is a strong incentive. Also they tend to be quite pricey, so this is another good reason to pay close attention to them;-)
