Troubleshooting
Drosera tokaiensis problems — and how to fix them
Drosera tokaiensis (Drosera tokaiensis) is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Mineral water damage
Tap water builds salts and kills roots over time. Restrict watering to rain, distilled, or RO water.
Weak dew indoors
Too little light stops the tentacles from producing sticky droplets. Move closer to a bright window or add a grow light.
Aggressive self-seeding
It seeds freely and can colonise neighbouring carnivorous pots. Remove flower scapes early if you want to limit volunteers.
Drying out
An empty tray lets the small rosette crisp quickly. Keep the pot standing in pure water during active growth.
