Drosophyllum in winter

Recommended Posts

Can anybody tell me how their Drosophyllum behaves in winter? This is my first winter with this plant. Mine still looks vigorous, but is sending up slightly shorter leaves than in the summer and does not look as sticky as it did in the summer, and the leaves no longer smell of honey. It is, however, still growing fairly fast. Is this normal?

Mine is just above freezing point.

Growth is good and leaves are still covered with dew.

I also remarked that the strong sweet smell is absent.

So i guess your plant is doing fine.

Thanks. Mine is now doing very well in the cold sunny weather we've been getting. It has been exposed to cold temperatures but no frost and is looking very sticky. As the shortest day has now passed & the new leaves that are unfurling still have red glands, I think the light levels should be sufficient to maintain the plant throughout the winter on my windowill.
