Howdy folks,
So I have always mainly been a Nepenthes man but I've had a few Drosera in the past acquired through trades which always died because they didn't catch enough (i.e nothing beyond a very occasional gnat) in the terrariums. But I picked up a couple dews recently as I'm getting back into plants and I read some websites about feeding them betta flakes and betta pellets.
So last night I mixed up a soup of a pinch of powdered flakes and pellets with a few drops of R/O water and put a droplet on each alive looking leaf of the D. capensis and D. adelae "Giant" and it appears as of this morning nothing at all has happened on the capensis (which is flowering) and only one of the adelae leaves looks like it kind of curled up to absorb it. What exactly am I supposed to see and should I wash the goop off the leaves that don't seem to be reacting?
Thanks for any input you might have!
