When should I prune drosera capensis 'alba'?
Any time; remove dead leaves as they appear. Peel or snip dead leaves from the stem at their base. Cut spent flower stalks at the stem after flowering if self-seeding is unwanted. Never cut into living, glistening, dew-producing leaves.
How often does drosera capensis 'alba' need pruning?
As needed throughout the year. Drosera capensis 'Alba' is a low-maintenance sundew. Pruning is rarely needed — simply remove leaves that have fully died and browned. Old leaves near the base die naturally as the plant elongates; snap or cut them off cleanly. Flower stalks can be removed after seed set if you do not want self-seeding.
