My drosera capensis looked dead a few weeks ago, but since I've made changes it has come back with a vengeance, which is why I found the lack of improvement in my sick hamiltonii so surprising: Are the capensis just a hardier plant, with a better come back rate? Now, my Ultricularia...

nimbulan Yes, actually. I don't think it's the water, though... I've been using the same water for all of them and my other two carnivorous plants (a drosera capensis and Ultricularia sandersonii) declined in the move, as well, but not to nearly the same extent and, since setting up the grow...

NemJones I know... the contrast is stark. I'm wondering if maybe it's a lost cause at this point... What do you mean what conditions is it in? It's an indoor plant and it's been in both North Carolina and Virginia, so subject to the temperature fluctuations of each (I didn't have a heating...

boarderlib I'll go ahead and try repotting, then. Thanks! Do you know where I can find the media necessary for repotting? I don't have any just laying around. As for the possibility of the plant picking up a bug, I saw a snail on it a few weeks back, which I thought was weird?? It was...

The plant looked like this when I had just bought it, if that helps?? It was thriving at the time.

NemJones Oh, really? What kind of strange happenings? I had no idea.

boarderlib It happened slowly. I thought that it was just adjusting to the move/transition, so I didn't worry about it too much until things started looking drastic.

Benurmanii What should I repot it in? I've never repotted one of my carnivorous plants before.

nimbulan Distilled water.

fredg Actually, not sure that's right... It might be a Drosera hamiltonii. My memory here is hazy.

carnigrower01 I'm actually unsure regarding the soil mixture... I bought it from California Carnivores and since they ship their plants in a soil mixture specifically formulated for whatever particular plant you purchase I haven't repotted it, since. I'm relatively new to carnivorous plant...

nimbulan I'm not sure how it would've gotten frost damage... it's an indoor plant. I've kept it indoors both at home and at school, and I haven't been opening the window, either. The soil might've dried out once or twice when I got busy and watering slipped my mind, but for the most part...

fredg I'm not 100% sure. I've been calling it a coccicaulis for simplicity's sake, but the website I bought it from said they thought it was some sort of hybrid. They weren't able to identify what, though, and there's nothing written on its tag.

As you can see, my plant babe didn't take the transition to dorm life very well. I didn't notice until after it had declined that it wasn't getting enough sun from the window I set it up in front of -- when I was back home, though, it was thriving. I have since bought a humidifer for it and a...
