Hi,
It's been several months now since first collecting CPs, and they're all doing well, except for a couple of plants both of which are sundews. They both seem to be suffering from the same problem. I've given as much info on each plant to help figure out what's going on.
D.fulva: This plant is dying faster than it's growing (old leaves are browning and new leaves don't grow large and brown early). Plant is 6" under 160W florescent light, 12hr/d cycle, 70F temperature, >90% humidity. Plant standing in shallow water.
D.capensis 'all red': This plant has the same problem and has the same environment except 6" under 120W florescent light. The new leaves are extremely small (1/8") and brown at the tips and do not produce any dew.
These plants are with other sundews that seem to be doing fine. I don't know why they are dying (or whether they're dying.....perhaps some sort of dormancy period?)
Any help would be appreciated.
