Question
Allexperts,
Hey I have a question on how much sun should a D. rotundifolia get? Should I provide partial sunlight or full sun? (say as much sun as you would give a Venus Fly Trap?) I got the plant last Thursday from you guys and it looks good, it just has to acclimate. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Weylin Callery
This species will grow well in partial to full sun. I've seen this plant grow in full sun in the wild, but I've also found them growing well amongst the shelter of other plants. So if you placed your plant in a location where it's partially blocked by other plants, you'll be mimicking how it grows in the wild.
Good growing!
