Tuberous Drosera Partial Dormancy?

[Cyporg]

I decided to try growing tuberous sundews and got this Drosera Auriculata in December. It has been growing very fast, but last week I noticed one of the stalks withering at the top. It looks like one of the sundews is going into dormancy, maybe due to the three winter heat waves we had in Southern California. However, all the other auriculata stalks look fine. My understanding is that once dormancy starts, I should reduce watering to prevent the tubers from rotting. However, what should I do if all the other tuberous sundews in the same pot are still actively growing? Is it probable that I'm going to lose that tuber?

One plant that's decided to abort growth at the tip doesn't say a whole lot without additional details about conditions/lighting/soil etc., and does not mean iminent dormancy necessarily either. If it does continue to die back, also not worth risking all the other plants just to maybe save it; the whole peltata complex is more tolerant of moisture in dormancy than most tuberous, so letting the majority dictate what to do is better.

I grow them outdoors on my southwest-facing patio, and they get intermittent morning sun (lots of shade from trees) and strong sun in the afternoon. I keep them pretty consistently wet with the tray method and 0.5-1inch of water. I believe that the media is a mix of peat and sand. I was also thinking that I should just leave them be and continue what I have been doing. Good to know that peltata tubers can tolerate moisture better.
