Subject: Cultivation of D. dilatato-petiolaris

I have a few seedlings of D. dilatato-petiolaris which germinated about
2 months ago, but they don't seem to grow well (slow growth, weak
leaves) . I grow them at 20 degC in an enclosed terrarium at very high
levels of humidity (80-100%), in pure peat, on an east-facing location
with about 2 h of direct sun, and lots of indirect sunlight. I have no
experience with tropical (?) Drosera at all and I wonder what am I doing
wrong. I would very much appreciate feedback from people with experience
on this species.

Best regards,

Francesc Maynou from Barcelona (Spain)
