Pruning drosera anglica — FAQ
When should I prune drosera anglica?
Autumn for seasonal cleanup; dead leaf removal any time. Carefully remove dead leaves at their base with fine tweezers or scissors. Do not disturb the central growing point or winter hibernaculum. Work gently to avoid uprooting the shallow root system.
How often does drosera anglica need pruning?
As needed — a few times per year at most. Drosera anglica, the great sundew, requires almost no pruning. Simply remove dead or blackened leaves with tweezers as they appear. The plant forms a hibernaculum (tight bud) in winter — do not prune this; it is a survival structure. Clear away surrounding dead foliage in autumn to reduce fungal risk.
