How much light are the receiving? To little light can result in the loss of dew. Also, have they been recently transplanted,shipped,etc.? If you have recently acquired them,it might take about 3-4 new leafs to begin producing dew. If the older leaves have not yet produced dew,they most likely won't. The temp and humidity sounds fine for both them,especially D.adelae,which does best in cooler conditions IME.[b said:Quote[/b] (glider14 @ Jan. 01 2006,2:04)]Hello,
My Adelae and Capensis are strangly not producing dew. Their conditions are above 70% Humididty and about 65-70 degrees. Are leaves produced with dew or can they "make" it without a new leaf?
yes they were just shipped to me but they had plastic cups over them and i saw no dew in it so i dont know... i have a 50 watt grow light about 12 hours so it couldnt be that.[b said:Quote[/b] ]How much light are the receiving?

i doubt it when it arrived i sprayed all of my plants with pesticide/fungucide/mitecide so yes....[b said:Quote[/b] ]Tetranychidae -- Plant parasitic spider mites
The shock of shipping can cause them to dry up, normally you will need to wait for new leaves to grow..[b said:Quote[/b] ]yes they were just shipped to me but they had plastic cups over them and i saw no dew in it so i dont know... i have a 50 watt grow light about 12 hours so it couldnt be that.
And they can play possum for a long time. I just had mine produce it's first leaf in 8 months. I found the hard (easy) way that this plant doesn't like full sun, yet it's now starting to make new leaves under my lights, odd cause the lights are coloring up everything else more then the sun did...[b said:Quote[/b] ][b said:Quote[/b] ]

That's funny, mine will only grow in pure peat moss, and it won't do anything in live or dead lfs. I,too,can only water it with distilled or RO water as it is very sensitive to minerals and chemicals in water IME.[b said:Quote[/b] (JustLikeAPill @ Jan. 02 2006,2:13)]yes, IME adelae is extremely sensitive to chemicals. i can't touch it with anything and it will only grow in pure LFS (i use live). very sensitive to water aswell.
