In my experience, I've found misting of all Drosera tends to
decrease mucilage production over time. Better to maintain a high local
humidity for most instead, IMO.
As for growing, D.spathulata is a total weed. They can easily
grow large enough to flower within the first season, and will do so over
and over and over! Anyone who's grown this species knows what I mean.
They give D.capensis a good run for the title of 'weed'!
Hope that helps.
Chris
