I bought this Drocera intermedia x capillaris from CA Carnivores. It was a lovely red.  I have it outside in full sun and it’s gone green. It’s dewey and capturing prey. I only use RO or zero TDS water.  I just misted it with a little MaxSea. Any answers for a newbie Drocera fan ? |

If it turned that green, it's not it full sun. While some plants will turn green and get larger when heavily fed/catching high levels of prey, that usually doesn't apply when out in full, 12+ hour sun. Most likely it's being shaded by something out there.

Most likely it's being shaded by something out there. I had it out in the middle of the yard. We have big trees and I noticed the sun pattern shifting. I moved it to the edge of my porch. Partly to protect from falling branches. Partly to protect from the squirrels. It does get hours of sun, but maybe not as much ? I may try it in a different sunny spot away from the trees. It is catching a lot of bugs. Thanks for the info |

 This is my porch lineup. It did get repotted to a huge pot. It’s the one in the middle. My other Drosera are happy. But then they were volunteers.  I’ll try a different spot and give it some time. We had 113°F heat wave. I’m just glad all my plants are alive. |

It seems to be a good spot, maybe it is just too much prey and the difference in climate from california

Well it relocated 1.5 hours South. It came from CA Carn and I drove there.
It seems a bit pinker in the sunniest spot I could find.
It does eat a lot.

Yes indeed the color has improved, it must be matter of sunlight

And a tiny D binata popped up in the pot as well. I didn’t notice it till today. But if you zoom in it is in the pic. The green of the baby binata was red today.
