Drosera adelae

[dewy]

I was wondering what soil mixture to use for D. adelae? Also, how much water does this plant like the most?

Standard cp mix of 50/50 sand and peat is fine. I keep mine a lil on the wet side, usually an inch deep in the tray then let the tray run dry before refilling.

Cheers

Mine are in a 1:2 mix of non-fertilized perlite and Canadian sphagnum peat moss. I make sure they are always moist, putting a little water in the trays when I think they need to be a little more moist. They're doing pretty good.

I mix sand and peat, topdressed with LFS. But FTG's is flowering. Mine isn't.

Mine is in 50\50 washed peat\sand topdressed with lfs,in a 1 in. of rain water and then let this evaporate before re-watering, and is flowering already.

Same here, but with perlite instead of sand, and i don't let it dry out.

I grow mine in LFS and they grow like weeds. Started with one half dead plant from Lowes and I now have 3 pots overflowing. Keep them humid and they will be happy.

Thats them in the corner of the picture.
