My Droseras Have Lost Their Dew

14 years ago

I have moved my Droseras out of a terrarium and they have begun to lose their dew. I know they lose their dew due to a sudden change in enviroment, but I just wanted to know how long it will be until they start producing dew again.

When mine have changed enviornments, it usually takes between 3 days and 3 weeks.

With my binatas...the existingleaves never produced dew again, but the new leaves did.

How drastic was the change?
Are they now getting lots of sun?

Increase the light level. If some are Adelae early morning and late afternoon sun only, bright, indirect sun the rest of the day.

Well the temperature is about the same as it was, and they're not getting sun but i have two 75 watt compact fluorescent light bulbs on them. And the humidity used to be like 60%-65%, and it's now and like at 30%-35%

Don't worry about humidity, it's more light they need. Got a east or west window? They are perfect for Sundews.

Well I do have a west window, but I've got guitar cases blocking it. Even if I moved them i wouldnt be able to get all my sundews in front of it because I'm using the open-tray method, and the window is right behind my closet door.
