Hello all...
Several months ago, I got a Drosera binata from Petflytrap.
I managed to fit this sprawling plant into my terrarium, where the humidity is kept very high (80% or so). It is under flourecent lights for about 15 hours per day (2 grow lights, 2 cool white)
The plant, as described, put up many new tenicles. After some time though, the new tenticles started to turn black (usually when coming in contact with the terrarium side) The growth has now stoped, and it has been relativly stagnent for several weeks. It has not put up new growth, and the old growth isn't looking too healthy.
I keep the soil moist, and my other sundew (spathulata) is doing fine. I'm usually a Nep guy, and do well with those. I just don't seem to have sundew luck.
I'm wondering if anyone can point me in any good directions. Could the roots be rotting? Should I take it out of the terrarium to "dry out". Should I just wait it out?
