Really, all you have to do is make sure the soil stays wet at all times. Exact
water level doesn't matter too much. The reason I water mine so heavily is
that in the desert, where I live, if things dry out in the greenhouse they
*really* dry out, so I keep things on the wet side.
Clarke, your weird tuberous plants certainly sound like a ``fan-leafed''
sundew. Maybe _D.ramellosa_. Are the flowers borne at the end of the
leafy stems or directly out of the rosette center?
This weekend I'm taking a quick trip to Sacramento to visit my
brother while the wife attends a convention. I was hoping to spend some
time meeting with some of the CPers in the Bay area and Davis, but I won't
be able to this time. But I'm certainly hoping to take a quick visit out
to some _Darlingtonia_ seeps I know of in the mountains, some at Donner
Pass, which is fitting for carnivorous plants, I suppose.
Cheers,
