'Could be. The standard form of D. adelae can get pretty big if grown in less light so it's hard to say. Some have questioned whether or not a giant form actually exists. I've seen a plant that makes me believe that it does.

I wouldnt say its growing in low light conditions, which is precisely why Im suspicious of it being a potential giant variety. Notice its right next to my Nepenthes. Its probably receiving around 150-180 PPFD / 9 DLI

I love this species. It's like the spider plant of the carnivorous plant world. It will often produce baby plants at the end of it's flower stalks it basically spreads like a scrambling vine.

I say 'low light' in reference to most sundews which like very bright lighting. Nepenthes tend to like lower light levels in comparison. I have a very healthy N. 'Red Leopard' growing next to my African violets, for instance. I find it amazing that D. adelae is so adaptable when it comes to light levels.
