The tip (~ 1mm) of my Drosera macrantha turned a little brown a few weeks ago so I am worried that the plant is going dormant. I am currently keeping it in a tray with a lot of water. The brown part has not spread at all and the traps still look fine and have dew. I'm just worried that I'm delaying the dormancy by not removing it from the tray.
I got the plant near the end of January, when it was around six inches tall, so it was probably growing since December at least. Should I call the nursery I bought it from to ask if their plants are going dormant, or does the time of dormancy depend on my growing conditions?
Temperatures here are around 75 during the day and 65 at night but sometimes there are particularly hot or cold days, and the plant has taken a few hot days while it was still growing without going dormant.
Here are a couple of pictures of the growing tip I took last week.
And if they are going dormant, what should I do after I remove them from the tray? I know to take them out of direct sunlight, but should I cover the pot so the soil doesn't completely dry out?
