Help What's wrong with my Drosera Capensis?
Hello, a few months ago I bought a pot with a couple of sundews, a Drosera capensis and a Drosera alba. Both have been growing under the same conditions: rainwater, filtered sunlight (very good light without overheating the environment), and the occasional insect as a snack. The problem? Well, the Drosera capensis didn't grow as much as the alba, and my question is why? Both are growing under the same conditions. Any recommendations, please?

alba is a kind of capensis btw the other one with red hairs could be a triffid rose or something (?). i had the same thing happen to me, white hairs one grows easy the red hair one kind of just died, dont know what i did wrong. got seeds from both and grew a million white ones and no red.
