Sorry for not posting the [img] tag, I was in a rush.

A. Your Sundew is called Drosera Adelae

B. The humidity may be fine but the plants may rely more on lighting than higher humidity. Drosera Adelae can grow fine in a bright location or under lights just fine. just don't overheat your vivarium/terrarium.

PS: make sure your plant's is planted in sphagnum peatmoss with great drainage. always keep its compost moist at all times. always use purified water to water your Sundew. never allow it to dry out. when your plant recovers, it will devour some of the smaller crickets. good luck,

Your set-up sounds interesting, you should had taken a whole picture of your vivarium.

Thank you, I had a hunch that was it. I do have a plant light that shines off to the side through the aquarium on to the plants. It's pretty nice. I just wanted to double check all of this, seeing how this plant is a year or so old and I want to keep him. I do give it purified water, it doesn't have drainage but rather a plexiglass box the moss and everything sits it (The top attatched on to it) I already set a few crickets on it (Crickets are seriously retarded. When they are not hopping on the frog's lip, they'll either hop on the drosera and get stuck, or drown with land most probably right next to them.

Whole thing. Light to the side. My wonderfully unkept room.

Nothing great and wonderful to add to Xymox's guidance. If you are using Photobucket, all you have to do with this type discussion forum is to copy the textstring next to the Tag reference and then paste it to the field.

Had to paste the link to the address bar to see it. Was this a Lowes "cube of death" purchase? Give it some time and it will look more like this:

Yeah, that's where my parents got it. I'm suprised it gets so big! Thanks for the instructions. I just checked the sundew, all the droplets are gone. Hopefully I wont have to open it TOO much over the next week or so, and it will get some humidity. I'm assuming without the little liquid drops, the hairs cannot digest the insects?

oh! one more thing, if your Sundew doesn't have any drainage, don't overwater it. this will lead to root rot! :O

since it's a container with no draining holes, you may water your sundew every week or so. this sundew will rely more on bright light than humidity.

that's correct, if the Sundew's tentacles do not have any dew, the pray will not get stuck or digested, just give it some time.

when i bought a Sundew from home depot, it was exactly like yours. its leaves' dew dissapeared for a while after i bought it, then after a few days after acclimating it under lights, new leaves began forming; with dew.

Petiolaris,

^^^(i really admire those sundews in the tupperwares!)^^^

What type of sundew do I have?It has a red stem with green leaves sticking out of it.

It's hard to say from the description. Can you post a picture or link or Email it to me?

I can't figure out how to post a picture.My plant is half way dead already.When I got it, it had a brown spot.But there was little plants growing out of its roots.If the main one dies, will the little ones die also?

Hard to say, without seeing it. But if you'd like, you can Email me a picture and I'd be happy to host and post it.

What is your Email adress?How do I Email a picture?

Hello james 001,

It sounds like a Drosera adelae since it has root clones. The adult plants only live a couple of years, so if it is growing root run plantlets, it might be an adult near it's life end trying to propagate itself before dying. The young plants usually live as their roots detach from the parent after they start growing. If in doubt, you can dig the entire bunch up and check the young plants, detaching them with a length of root each and replanting them. They should survive and grow to adult size in about 3 months if they are adelae. I had one adelae 5 months ago that has started dying, however; is still propagating itself into about 28 plants... Every day I check, there are more plants growing. After I uprooted them and detached a bunch of roots, they went crazy and started cloning themselves in overdrive.

Click on my forum name and then the link to send me an Email. Right click on your picture and click Properties. Right click on the URL and click select. Right click on the URL again and click on Copy. Click Okay. Right click in the body of the Email to me and click Paste. That should give me the URL to host to my Photobucket account. If that doesn't work out, let me know.

It looks like a D. adelae and it's going to need some TLC. Just provide it with decent lighting, an inch or so of water, open to the air, stable conditions,... and time.

Definitely a very run down D. adelae. Glad you saved it. With good partial sun or strong flourescents it should rebound and start growing like the weed it is. They can be hard to kill once you give it light, mineral free water, no fertilizer, and time to adapt to your home.

Good luck with your sundew.
