Hey Everyone- I am having some trouble with about a two-year-old Drosera Capensis (red). For the first year and a half has been doing great, I have it in just Peat Moss/perlite in a ceramic pot. The drainage is OK, and the moss seems to be thriving. Every so often, the plant seems to look like it’s about to die. The dew dries up, The leaves look pale and slightly yellowed, And during the last stage the tips of all of the “leaves” turn black. Even the new growth coming from the center of the plant comes out with a black tip and does not fully develop. At first, I thought it was dormancy but I do not believe this species needs dormancy. I have tried both watering it, and then with holding water for a week to see if it was just “saturated” or overly-watered.
I attached a couple of pictures, for reference I will say that there is another “baby” one sprouting up from the moss and it has done great without demonstrating any of the same issues as the two older droseras
