I treat my d. caps just like rotunds... my plants are very hardy. The
caps tend to easily form plantlets from cuttings, too. Cute little
sundews.

If your talking about that light, feathery whitish gray mold (looks like
frizzy hair), my first terrarium did the same thing. I treated mine by
dousing it in water (which disintegrated it) and then left the plants in
strong (NOT HOT!) sunlight. This seems to be a lethal mix for this mold
as it never came back. You planting medium is fine.

Matt, check any of the bogs in NJ's state parks. Ask at the ranger
stations- they'll be glad to point you (sometimes even escort you) to
any of the dwindling sites where CP grow wild. As an alternative- and
to save you from the very real dangers of lime disease infested ticks
(they're all over the bogs now!)- you can also see photos of CP in NJ's
wild bogs at my webpage (tap URL below). Don't know of any bogs in PA
or MD.

Don't sweat it... it's an unofficial rite of passage for a CP enthusiast
to inadvertently kill their first VFT. But from now on, you'll get the
right info on VFT needs- and we'll be sure to help you with any
questions you have. So... welcome aboard! :)
btw- Here's a real good place to get the right info on CP growing, the
CP FAQ!

Cheers,
