Yes, or whatever methods works best to get the fertilizer mixture onto your sundew.

Now does that work with pitchers, or do you put the fertilizer inside the cups instead?

Would be better to put fertilizer in the pitcher, seeing as that's where it's designed to absorb nutrients.

Okay I see the concept here then. I figured so just wanted to be sure and not do something stupid you know.

So one of the D. Graomogolensis survived. The other plant in not sure about because below the top there is good green color. Who knows if that one will bounce back.

In good humidity this species easily rebounds from the roots or core of the plant if the reason for the original damage is removed. I have seen them die completely down to dead brown leaves only to sprout out again more than once.

So you suggest to remove the dead part on that one?

I would leave it as is. So much of the game is just giving the best conditions you can and waiting with crossed fingers. It seems to me that some of my better successes happened because I was distracted with something else at the time.

Well I'm glad I saved one, both came bare root wrapped in a paper towel that was wet. Gave them both same conditions. The smaller one survived but the larger one looks like after awhile might pop up with a new plant near it possibly idk. The leaves below the top look someone healthy. Hopefully it pulls through.

I would personally repot into pure milled dead sphagnum. Although I've seen people grow people successfully in peat based mixes, I have seen a lot more people fail with peat than people who used sphagnum. It's been around 2-3 weeks since my repot and my plant is growing really well now.

As soon as I get home I will post a pic

Here is the pic, sorry for the delay. It's less than an inch across, but it's finally recovering

Your plant is looking really good, they really do like moist medium. I'm using a 1/1/1 peat/perlite/silica sand and a top dressing of live sphagnum.

 

[Swagalotus]

How's that mix working out for you?

So far so good actually, the plant is recovering vary well. I just keep the humidity above 70 and below 80%.

Nice! My plant isn't dewing up as much because it's being grown at room humidity. The only extra humidity is the one from the sphagnum moss, but it should be fine regardless.

I think what my original mistake and not knowing what was best in the first place was using miracle grow perlite and peat. Once I changed over to no fertilizer peat and perlite with a bit of sand helped out a lot. I could probably take off the top dressing of sphagnum and my plant would be fine. I only used the top dressing to help it recover. Having too much moisture I can see problems a bit later.
