Gabriel,

 Its best to leave your tuberous Drosera in their pots over the summer.
Let the pots dry out completely (I know that sounds dangerous!) and
place them under a bench. As long as they don't overheat they will
be OK. If you really want to you can lightly water the pot every couple
of weeks, but this isn't really necessary. In my area of Australia it
is very hot during summer (38-40 degrees celsius), and my tuberous Drosera
are fine being kept totally bone dry.

Hope this helps,

Russell
