CPs Update 16th August

I have changed my growing strategy. The humidity is low that sundew cannot produce dew at all except rainy days. I decide to buy a reptile box to raise the humidity. The box successfully raise the humidity but it blocks sunlight. The plants get more humidity but less sunlight.

1. D californica produces 2 pitchers. One is very large (the largest recently) and the other is quite small.

2. D musipula produces 2 new traps. Traps become wide due to lack of sunlight.

3. D adelae produces 3 new leaves. The initial color is red but it becomes green as the time passes.

4. N ramispina's trap is fully opened. The growth rate is quite slow. It produces only 1 more leaf and the pitcher is still developing.

5. P moctezuma produces 2 new leaves. The leaves initially very small but becomes longer later.

6. D filiformis recovers from its shock after travelling in a post box. It produces a lot of leaves and they are very dewy. I also trim its aborted leaves which become brown from tips.

New plant! To fill the reptile box with another adult (3-4 years old) D californica. It shocked for a few days after travelling but now it begins to produce a new pitcher.
